Finished Woodsrunner

[PathfinderNC]

Here's a .54 Woodsrunner in Maple that I have been putsing around with for a while and finally decided to finish it up yesterday. As just about everyone knows by now, assembly is a breeze, with really no challenges at all. I enjoyed doing some carving on it, but kept it rather simple and I like how it came out.
What I really like about this rifle is the lightness and slimness of it. The wrist is very comfortable for my hand and the barrel seems thinner and lighter than my Colonial .54 Kibler. The shorter barrel points well and I can aim and focus on the sights quite easily. The lock is really fast and smooth as one would expect from Kibler. It's the same size (6x1") lock as on the Colonial, and on this slimmer rifle it really has a nice, strong and prominent look.
I will be applying some paste wax on the stock in about month after the finish cures.
I think i will enjoy shooting and hunting deer this rifle.
Anyway, here are a few photos.

Very nice, I like the understated carving.

That is a great looking rifle. From the pictures, the stock doesn't look like highly figured maple yet the whole rifle stands out. Maybe the super curly wood can be a distraction from the overall look and architecture?

It's the best looking Woodsrunner so far in my opinion. Of course thats just my opinion so take FWIW.

I love it! I am going to order a Kibler soon as my first kit. I just cannot decide between a mountain rifle and the Woodsrunner. Probably 45 (both options) or a 54 (just Woodsrunner). Have put both in the cart maybe ten times now….

Anyways your rifle looks awesome.

I would love to but the finish needs to cure a while before I can use it. I will be bringing it to our other events though

Thank you Jim. Your Woodsrunner is real winner in every way
