Checkering Your Gunstock with Berry’s Checkering Cradle
Checkering a gunstock isn’t just about looks—it’s a practical upgrade for safety and control. A well-checkered gunstock provides a secure grip, helping you handle your rifle or shotgun even in wet conditions. This feature improves focus distance and overall control, which is critical for any shooter. In addition to functionality, checkering enhances the visual appeal of the firearm, showcasing the craftsmanship behind the work. With our checkering cradle, the process is much easier. The 360° Ball and Case feature allows for smooth, stable adjustments, so you can carve intricate designs without constantly repositioning your rifle.

- Outline Master & Border Lines: Using a straight line, outline your checkering pattern on the gunstock.
- Carve Out Master & Border Lines: Begin carving along the master lines to create the foundation for the pattern.
