Fancy
Out of the three maple grades available(standard, fancy, extra fancy), looks like the fancy($125) grade based in various rifles I have observed.

I would agree "Fancy" it looks like mine.
I would grade it between fancy and extra fancy - the picture may not tell the true grade but there is a lot of curl in it.
Tough call with that one, considering how Kibler grades using only 3 grades, Fancy being up to 65% curl and Extra fancy 65% and up.
Sure look's like more than 65% to me,,
The wonderful thing about wood grades are there are no standards! One source may call a stick of wood fancy but another May call the same one extra fancy or plain. Jim has three grades and another place can have six grades. Either way that’s a nice stock!
pardon me as i am old and slow, but you mean 125.00 up grade don't you Art?Out of the three maple grades available(standard, fancy, extra fancy), looks like the fancy($125) grade based in various rifles I have observed.
the fancy wood for me is like dressing a good looking woman in fine clothes.Looks fancy but I never understood this fascination over stripes. Now birds eye and quilted really catch my eye
it all boils down to a solid stick of wood carved out to fit gun parts on it, the look is just bonus points really
