[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1342498, member: 97414"] I forgot to add a fraction more info. Make sure you order your stock long at both ends, this allows you to fit-finish the look and human fit. I'm doing a 32" extra thick heavy barrel, so the forearm of the stock "needs" to protrude forward so my Henry Remple bypod rest will sit forward... This allows us to balance the rifle to equal proportions. Balance is key to long range as there is nothing worse than having the back-end of the stock kick up after each shot. A well balanced rifle will stay planted firmly threw the string of shots as the only that moves is the hand that feeds it. Long at the back... That way once the barreled action is fitted you can get behind it to fit it to ones shooting style. Mine came 1 1/2" longer in stock so we can remove the excess before mounting the hard gel butt pad. My build has no cheek adjustment since I'm old school and I'm running a 20 MOA rail, my optics has 100 built in,,, this allows me beyond 1500M for the caliber I'm running,,, 1540M max. My other rifle will seen the bullet to 1700M. There are only a few up here in our Americas that run these extra long stocks, those that look at them say they won't work in match,,, funny thing is that my friend Robert is up there in the National match numbers. I'm lucky since all the testing is done, its proven to work, the barrels and stocks have been designed to work hand in hand. It's nice when we encounter a machinist that is a competitor at the National level in former Bench rest and F Class as his friends and him move into the 2 mile stuff. The only thing factory in the builds is the action housing only,,, everything other than that is improved. Roberts says it like this. "We always build a rifle that is better than what we can shot it, that way the only weak link left in the picture is the shooter and how well he reads the winds and his reloading skills,,, more so the winds. LOL. When he started this sport years ago, he learned that the whole package needs to work as one or things will be challenging at the 1000 yard or 900 meters. Each person gets to choose how to get there, it only makes sense to take advantage of the skills learned by others,,, qualified others with trophies on their walls,,, and lots of them. Western Canada Don as I start at the lower levels on my challanges going forward. This road does not come easy. [/QUOTE]
