.243 AI Range Time

[Joel Russo]

Dusted off the old girl, and gave her some range time.. I built this rifle a few years ago for a prairie dog hunt, put a few rounds down it, stuck it in the safe, and literally forgot she existed until this week.
Figured I would drag her out and make her feel loved again.
Kicking out 105 hybrids at 3,300 fps.

Very nice looking rifle, great group!

 

[Canhunter35]

Very nice stock.
That particular tone is one of my favourites
Do you recall what kind of walnut it was?
I have an English walnut stock that is very close to that shade

 

[Joel Russo]

I made the stock out of Bubinga, an African Mahogany.

 

[Canhunter35]

No wonder the colour is so unique. Isn't bubinga pretty darn expensive. I've seen it on knife handles but never a stock. Very nice!

 

[Joel Russo]

It's pretty expensive.. I've been using it to make stocks for the past 17 years.
