No abolts over here mate, they can be hard to find bits for aftermarket stocks etc the feel of the standard one is good for a standard stock

I laughed when Adam showed me the original barrel off his and said you hated re barreling it

Any word on how the fixup is going Grunta?

Not yet Bryan. Almost too scared to ask lol. I just hope I get it back so I can sort a load for it before my pre roar trip next Friday. I'll post up some photos of it when I get it back

Grunta, if it comes to it you could buy the spare stock of this guy:

Browning A Bolt 270 | Trade Me

Not sure if your rifle is long or short action though.

Lol, I hope it doesn't come to that!

And in theory, getting a bedding job done weather it needed it or not shouldn't harm anything.

This might be of interest after the roar.

Wow, that looks like a bloody tidy job and a great how to! thanks for posting TeRei.

UPDATE Guys,

Recieved the rifle back today. And..................not happy!! will send him an email soon.

As soon as I loosened the front action screw you could feel the action/barrel move instantly - same as the rear. Also it literally fell out of the stock with no effort whatsoever and from the research I've done it should be a nice snug fit which it isn't.

I'm not even going to bother sighting it in, as I really think it'll be a waste of time. One week before the start of my 4 weekends of enjoyment and I have no rifle that I can depend on. I guess it's time to send it to someone who really knows what they're doing.

Bugger. Im sure someone could lend you a stock or rifle for the roar. Worst comes to worst i could lend ya a 303
