Stoked with the result, especially the weight and the tikka mag system fitted, Ill put some pics of it all ready to hunt. has a nice matt pray finish and I have just mounted a light weight recoil pad. Might be time to find a carbon bipod.

Going to try a camo finish on this one. I'm waiting on some better carbon to arrive so I'm using up the one that got folded so I figured a camo dusting will cover the fold marks. I still want to get it to look like carbon though so I wont over paint it.

On your first stock does that weight include the recoil pad or is that extra

**Stocky** · 22-09-2021, 01:05 PM

What did the blank on this one weigh in at?

**Scott Cowan** · 22-09-2021, 01:08 PM

Hi Stocky, I got the weight down to 500g on this one, it wasn't such a big deal now that I have done the featherweight build. 650g finished would be nice on this build... this one is more about refining the process and adding colour.

**Scott Cowan** · 23-09-2021, 12:12 AM

Hi Remmodel7, just weighed it. 500g with swivel studs and recoil pad

I hope the OP doesn’t mind others adding their projects to this thread. This could become a good resource for others looking at having a go.

Thanks to Scott sending out a blank I’ve now got the shape down. Will need some finer sanding now and inletting of the bottom metal which I have been dreading.

I’m seriously considering just painting it rather than going through the wrapping process. What does the forum think?

I need to order or make a recoil lug so I have time to sit on it and decide which way to go.

For those with wooden stocks; regardless of how it is finished I will drill through to install a limbsaver. How do I prevent these holes becoming an inlet for moisture. Should I drill over size and then fill with epoxy to seal the wood then screw into the epoxy?

For the front pic rail I’ll epoxy in t nuts which should seal it.

Cheers
