Your going to put in a target rail too which is a lot easier to do when its all square & flat as can just use a router to do it.
Had time to make those 6mm 112gr projectiles for you today too, will bring them up to the range tomorrow.
Will sort out account for copyright on the stock plans for you too!

Awesome, I'll see you tomorrow, the other rifle has been behaving very well, but probably not up to the level it has been haha.

My copyright guy said to offer any intrested parties a warm double brown, register any intrest below ��

Inletting is all done, I'm planning on minimal shaping, and with the big flat "paddle" butt I'll try my hand at inletting some bone/brass/paua to sexy it up.

But that's after I check functionality.

Should I rebate in a recoil lug like tikkas have in the stock? Or catch it with the bedding?

Thanks Lars



On that note if anyone has a bit of target rail I'll be more than happy to grab it off them.
