baldie Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Just finished this one for a customer who wanted a lightweight stalking rifle. This started life as a new Remington action, which went into the lathe for a full blueprint. It was then fitted with a Sassen fluted blank in Rem PSS profile at 20" long. Screwcut and invisible capped in M18 x 1 and an 11 degree crown. [ yes, the carbon needs cleaning off the muzzle ! ] Its a 1 in 8" twist 6.5 Creedmoor. 20 Moa rail, and the trigger is from a 40XB or something similar. It has an adjuster screw that protrudes from the base. I stripped and tuned it, and its sweet. The stock is a carbon fibre model, which has been fully bedded and painted inside. This is the lightest stock I've ever seen, I think its 400 grammes. Floorplate is a HS precision, and I had the usual malarkey, fitting the damn thing. For a supposed " drop in " part . I also had to reprofile the front tang to blend in with the stock. However, it now fits and functions flawlessly . Bipod is one of the Javelin carbon models, which just pull off the magnet. Superb for such a gun. It means the bipod doesn't have to be on the gun when carried, and it simply slips in to the spigot when needed. Great option for sticks. Mod is an A-tex Hertz, again, chosen to keep the weight down. I weighed the gun without the mod, and it 6.5 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted September 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Too expensive. I bought a pair and had to sell them at what I paid for them, as part of the build. Nice stocks, ridiculous money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballistol Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 That really looks the business Dave. I remember the stock in the shop being particularly light, so am not surprised it makes 6.5lbs. I'm sure it will have one very happy owner.
