This is a bit of a round about way to get to this question but gimmi a minute
I was looking at a couple of Browning T-Bolts at my local in different calibres and sporter and varmint barrels and so on.
The stocks where fine on all of them, but a few were reeeealy nice. A few had just regular, light coloured every day wood, but a few of them had really nice rich dark coloured stocks that were obviously from a different tree.
I work in IT, and in the good old days people used to test batches of processors and find out which build versions worked the best and could be pushed the hardest. So you'd then go out of your way to find one from batch XYZ or whatever.
Rifles have serial numbers obviously... Does anyone track these kinds of things for getting a rifle from "the good batch"? Or is this reserved to us nerds in the IT world?
