Hmmm, A Remington 721, engraved in classic German oak leaves and game scenes, wrapped in a straight-grained factory stock, with Southwest diamond inlays. Oooooh, ooooh, I know! It's a cosmopolitan rifle, right?

Just kidding.

mapjanshere is right, it does not compute. Beautiful engraving, but it doesn't really fit with the stock. My bet is that either (1) the owner ran out of money during the build, or (2) the owner had to replace the stock at some point for some reason, or (3) the owner picked it up like that and had no idea what they had. If you were going to sell it, it would be worth as much as any 721. If you were going to restock it, it would cost a bit to match and synchronize with the engraving.
