That bald headed Geordie Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Here are a few photos of my Heavy Gun stock for use in Benchrest and thanks to Tony Lenton for doing the work. Still some work to be done but looking forwards to giving it an outing at Diggle ranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bald headed Geordie Posted February 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Looks awesome Les. Cheers Vince. Got to figure a way of how to carry the bleeding thing yet? Will come in at about 45/50lbs I believe. Was at Tony's today just to do an initial prefit of the action and position the bolt lug and general check and his machining is spot on. Once all is ready just got to pick a colour to spray it with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bald headed Geordie Posted February 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 I think we're gonna need bigger benches!!!! Nah, I am going to use the heavy gun set up in 6BR for CSR. Honest! Got the muscles to run a few hundred yards with it, but cannot shoot for sh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bald headed Geordie Posted February 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 What size wheels are you fitting to it? Now that is an idea! A pair of wheels fitted to the butt of the stock. I reckon 6 inch diameter wheels would do the job nicely! Cheers simoni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bald headed Geordie Posted February 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Here you go Les hj1406.jpg Now that is 'SERIOUS BLING' dude! But a little ambitious for Diggle don't you think Bruce? Maybe when Tony has more time for a future project I may consider that set up. . Just been out looking at paint for the aluminium stock and found something rather nice at Homebase which will do the job nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vermincinerator Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 I wonder how much that beast weighs, i always thought one of the rules of Heavy Gun is that you must be able to lift the gun onto the bench without the help of anyone else Ian.

I believe that is the ruling Ian. I will be able to lift the one I am getting by myself as it will only be around 50lb or so. As for the huge American shiny monster on the trolley not a clue but that must weigh about 100lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
