[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 209042, member: 2011"] J.E. Custom, The amount of work sure isn't worth it on the tupperware stocks. I appreciate your consideration for your customers. I feel that a smith's time shouldn't be burdened with exterior stock work. Except for bedding. Right now I happen to have time on my hands and consider the time spent on the stocks as an education though the tuition is a bit high. I have way more time in the bipod. That's whats really time consuming especially when my lathe/mill is a clunker and my skills/experience is ziltch.:rolleyes: However I've found that I can make better time with the band saw and belt sander as with the mill.:( I'm just an old fart having fun, which is really the bottom line for me. Here's a pic of the ol' girl showing another of my weird ideas regarding the bipod sitting on soil vs a hard surface.:rolleyes: Also just tested it this afternoon and she's holding ~1/2 MOA at my zero distance of 200 yds which it did with the previous stock [IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a243/royinidaho/338-RUM-in-position.jpg[/IMG].
