.284win, its a great rifle but I was thinking (out loud) that a L96AI style stock would be the berries. May look at making one of a similar style myself as a project?

Here is my latest. Thanks to Brads for the rifle and Abe for doing the metal work.



The original bare rifle weighed 7lb 3.5oz.
I made a new carbon fibre stock for it. I tried a few new things and got the weight of the stock down to 16.5 oz. The factory stock, with a limbsaver was 40oz.
Fluting the barrel saved 5 oz, fluting bolt saved 0.8oz, lightweight firing pin saved 1.8oz. Abe also made a radial brake for it.
Weight of finished bare rifle is 5lb 4.2 oz. With the scope (Bushnell 6500 2.5 -16 x 42) and low Talley rings the final weight of the rifle is 6lb 10 oz.
Haven't finished working up loads yet. Working on 162 a-max for long range and 140 accubond as the close-up load.

mmmmm tasty stug

stug, wats the barrel length? Looks like a nice shooter too

Factory standard 22 inches

That is a very very nice stock.Dont like to say it but showing it off in public may deem it to a short ownership. Insure it bro

Here is my newly finished DMPS AR 308, started out life as a DPMS Oracle but I couldn't leave it stock. Hope to shoot it this weekend.
16" barrel, carbine gas system
Geissele SSA-E trigger
Troy 13" handguard
PWS FSC30 Break
Vortex PST 4-16x

Picked up a lefty Remington 788 in 308 from trademe.

Action is smooth and bore looks good. Very minor surface rust around the scope bases. action and barrel needs to be re-blued or painted, and the stock needs some cosmetic work, but overall I think it was a great deal.

Serial no starts with 61, so good chance it was made in the late 60s, just like me !

Can't wait to start the restoration

Guess who went gay and got a 20g

Nice. Why?

I was planning on a 12g U/O for pigeons/ pheasants and was looking at the Yildiz spz me but after seeing Pointers 20g I thought about it a bit and it'll do for pigeons and pheasants. and adds a new cal to the cupboard.
