Hi:

I am looking for an alternate butt plate to use on a "vintage" sporter.

In the past, I have used the ubiquitous Niedner butt plate and grip cap but I am now looking for a butt plate. On the last sporter that I did I used a Winchester M 70 butt plate but it appeared to be rather chunky and bulky. It did not have the deep bow in it nor was it rounded to the sides like the Neidner

Any suggestions as what I may use that would look great on a 1930-1950 era Springfield sporter?

Oh yes, I did a shotgun with a piece of Water Buffalo horn and it looked great. Perhaps a piece of horn would be the cat's pajamas.

TIA,

Franchi
