Any such thing as pretty FX walnut? I have never handled a walnut stocked FX and to be honest the promo photos from FX and its dealers have been ho hum at best. If you have one I would appreciate a picture or two that hopefully proves me wrong.

Mine is so-so. However, it's the last FX Royale 400 walnut ever made. I know this because I discussed it with the bunch over in Sweden when I ordered it.
You can see the packing box in the background.

What you had to go through to get that rifle was incredibly exhausting!
Seemed like a dead end

I have a post up about my “ grade 2 “ walnut DRS.
Paid way more for this option. Upon opening I was not
impressed.

I was at the range the other day when i saw a beautiful stock that i thought was plastic..it looked too good!
The owner had the wood grain laser enhanced
Do not know if it is something you want to try, but the results were really incredible

If you want nice walnut on an FX find a used FX Tarantula. They have high grade Turkish walnut, hand checkered, super accurate and consistent with out a reg. Will still hold it's own against today's wonderguns. They're the gun that started the push for 100m back when Yharr in Aus posting his results with it and the BSA Hornet back in the Yellow Forum days.

High grade walnut is hard to come by anymore. There’s just not much available relative to demand.
Look at the world of PB’s. You don’t see wood stocks hardly at all anymore. Any PB with quality wood on it is either old or a high dollar custom job.
I am not justifying what is being charged for it, just saying what was once mediocre wood is now considered fancy. All due to availability.

From what I have seen the older FX stocks were much better figure and color etc. The newer models are hit or miss, mostly miss. When I ordered my new Wildcat I almost went with the walnut version but decided to not risk it and picked a laminate.
