[QUOTE="Joel Russo, post: 1228262, member: 6152"] Some of you may recall I had a .338-.408 that I stocked with a beautiful piece of Bubinga up for sale a while ago. The rifle was built for a customer quite a few years back, and I eventually ended up buying it back from him. After looking at the rifle collecting dust in my office for many years, I put it up on the block on LRH. The rifle got a lot of interest, but no one wanted such a high end piece of wood under the metal. Got a call from a customer/friend on the left coast who has one of these from me in the same high end stock. Said he had a friend interested in the rifle, but wanted to switch out the wood for fiberglass. Ouch, that hurt. This "friend" of his bought a NF scope from me years ago, and is quite a good guy. Well, we came to terms on a fair price for both of us, and I ordered a McMillan stock. Replaced the brake with a more efficient one, gave him a tight bedding job, and applied a fresh coat of graphite black CeraKote. Mounted a NF 5-25 ATACR on top, and figured I would give him a good zero instead of just a bore sight. Grabbed three loaded rounds form my beloved "Eleanor" rifle, and headed out back. First one landed a bit high and right. I figured, what the heck, I'll shoot the other two, then center up the group with those knob things on the scope.. Dropped three into .232" and called it good... This is a fresh barrel with only about 30 rounds down it. I call this project a Successful Transformation. Enjoy: [/QUOTE]
