Today, Wayne York at oregunsmithing.llc called to tell me the replacement stock is being shipped. Halleluiah! It will be here in time for me to work up a load with some Hammer 6.5mm 130 grain bullets for my pig hunt on May 31-June 1. (I have some 124 grainers with a better B.C. but expect to get closer than 400 yards. Hey, I'll take one at fifty yards if I can.) Anyway the first stock was heavier than I expected so he told me to send it back. Today he told me they made a whole new stock that is 6.2 ounces lighter. He didn't even charge me for shipping. I am delighted, of course.
For those interested it is my 6.5Coyle based on a 9.3X64 Brenneke with a Weatherby shoulder; 'cause I like the look. It matches a .264 Win Mag but I use it in a small Weatherby designed around the .30-06. Before the present barrel I called it 6.5SLR.
