No gun photo is complete without a couple sneeky toes peaking in there...:D
Nice looking rifle, should be a good shooter. Are they a fast or slow twist barrel?
I have one of those Boyds thumbhole stocks sitting here inletted for a Ruger 77/22 that I must get finished off... How do you find the distance between the thumbhole and trigger? I have taken quite a bit out of the thumbhole to shorten the gap, and also have to add a couple spacers in between the recoil pad and the stock to increase the length of pull a bit
My hands must be the same as Mr average,I've had 3 Boyd thumbholes now(sold 1)and the fit is good but needs a spacer in front of the pad.I put a Rem aftermarket pad on the 7mil08 and a piece of white nylon cuttingboard from Briscos as a spacer.Quote:

Nice rifle, looks the part. I have never used a thumbhole stock, looks comfortable.
What Sightron scope are you going to get? I see Opticszone has some reasonably priced ones.
as with all good projects they're open to change.
The sightron has become a nikon 4-16x50:yaeh am not durnk:

Intrnet to the rescue.Ken Farrell sent 4 torx 6-48 for the mounts I have:thumbsup: NZ $11,here yesterday but no time to put together yet:disapointed:
I thought only long action 700 1-piece rails fit long action Howas.
2-piece fit the short actions but not 1-piece.
3 screws fit.so there in lies the problem.get the right gear first, don't try smart stuff it'll only end in tearsQuote:
