    Its a l h thumbhole because I injured my right eye. I can shoot better groups with it than the original sako one.
    The stuff is so light you can leave a bit of bulk on it for strength.
    Tahr, Trout, Mooseman and 4 others like this.

    Looking at the size of those growth rings no wonder it's light

    @Marty Henry for some reason I have in the back of my mind that Toby H planted some. We certainly talked about it in the district.

    but it sure is light.....I stuffed it up by removing too much material from guts of it,but by strategic placement of shims/washers seem to have rectafied issue...will try it again to see if it shoots straight and might just have to take it for a wander.
    oh and back on topic,thats an older 3x9x50mm vx111 on top...perfect for the .223.
