I received 2 new grips from LBruce last month and finally had the free time to get pictures.  Let me first say that pictures do not do these grips justice.  They are beautiful and they fit my hands perfectly.  I can't wait to take them to the range and try them out.  Here is how they look.

LBruce, thank you so much.

Those sure are pretty. I have Gripper in Zebra on my 715 and love the feel.

To the paranoid people who check behind shower curtains for murderers:

if you find one...what's your plan?

Thanks guys!

The hardest decision for me was whether to have them made in Zebra or the Black Walnut.  I do love the feel of both grips, can't wait to try them out at the range.

They both look great! And a wise choice on the Black Walnut.

That is the Burris Rib Clamp scope mount.  I don't think they make it any more, I bought the mount over 20 years ago.  Thanks for the compliments.

there was one on e-bay a week ago. I tried to get it but someone else wanted it a lot more. I keep watching because these mounts come up every once in awhile.

Thanks Bob.

ese927, yeah, I saw that one but wasn't interested in the scope that came with it. Saw an old listing for a Buehler with selling price  …wow…  I should have bid on the Burris and scope.surprised

NICE Grips!

 

LB, I had a black walnut tree cut on my property and had some nice pieces of wood saved and cut into large slabs by a wood worker buddy of mine.  Is there any possibility of getting some grips made from that wood?  It would be really cool to have some grips from a tree from the farm.

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

I'm with you Mike. I for sure want to get a gander at that as well.  Posed a few ??? to LB myself about wood choices.
