I decided with this one to try a bit of cast and cant. All my previous stocks have been straight, so this is something new. 184015 I gave it 3/16 cast-off, and 1/8” cant or toe out. Works well...

Hunting season is finally here! Figured I'd share some of my adventures this fall, starting off with a pronghorn I killed a couple days ago. I've never killed an antelope with this rifle, a CZ...

Having some scraps of recycled Rimu I decided not to chuck them in the fire but make something. So here is my ammo box that holds 15 rounds (the scraps were not big enough to make a 20 round box). It...

Shaping is now completed, and on to finish sanding ready for the first coat of oil. Really happy with how it shaped up. These little actions make for a very slim light little rifle. Hopefully the...
