I made pillars for my rifle and contoured the ends to match the round action. It seems very solid.

You guys know why Scottish herdsmen wear kilts, don’t you?

I’ve worked with a few small pieces of quilted big leaf maple for cribbage boards, etc. It’s really cool stuff!

My buddy and I did the digging. He wasn’t a woodworker, so I paid him for his time and kept it. I had help with loading 😃. I have many pieces left for future projects.

Black walnut from this stump 😃

Alamo Precision makes a classic hunter rifle with wood colored stock. You might check them out.

I built this stock and you have me curious as to its weight. When it comes back from checkering, I will weigh it.

All of these evaluations are assuming the shooter is flawless.

People have asked the same question about the 308, 270, 25-06, 243, 7-08, 6.5 creedmoor, and others, and the answer was yes. For the 6.5 PRC, the answer is yes, hell yes!

Biggest spread is about 0.2 percent. If you aren't weighing powder to less than 0.1 grains (6 milligrams), that's about the same amount of error. For the same energy (powder), a change in weight is proportional to a change in square of velocity. The weight difference of 0.24 grains above would...

The diagram below shows the perfect alignment of scope and rifle bore. If the imaginary line through the center of the scope and center of the bore is vertical, and the vertical cross-hair matches the vertical center to center line, the scope is aligned. The center to center line can be aligned...

Similar to the device shown in the post by LRSNM, I am building the scope leveling device shown in the pictures (please excuse the Remington 742 Woodmaster in the pictures, it is used for demonstration purposes only 🤣). I just have to add a level on top. This device finds the center line of the...

Thanks! Sent it off to Tim Smith-Lyon at classic checkering. He seems like a good guy, has a 12-week lead time right now, so I expect the stock back around the end of March, early April.

With the muzzle brake, recoil is going to be about the same as your old 30-06 without a brake. Can you shoot it first before you finalize your decision?
