I recently purchased an English Walnut blank that is planned to be going on a 12-ga. A.H. Fox that will be stocked with a straight grip, the action back will be scalloped and frame rebated. I could use a little help in choosing which way to lay it out. I have labeled them Layout 1 and Layout 2...which one would you choose if you were making the decision?
