[QUOTE="357Mag, post: 1856964, member: 106883"] Howdy ! Here are pics of my varmint/target rifle, shown w/o scope mounted ( for easier detail viewing ) Stock is a heavy side wall extruded aluminum "I" beam, oriented as an "H". Barrel clamp is doubled-up " plumbing clamp " plates. Carriage bolts combined w/ bottom plates borrowed from "U-bolts; and nylon insert lock nuts. 24" lb torque. Stock for end and butt pieces are made from 5/4 composite deck board. The composite cheek rest piece is also removable, for ease in cleaning from the breech. I used drywall screws as attaching hardware, and some TRV in the central valley of the beam. No butt pad. Trigger guard is a galvanized conduit hanger, flattened out to an "L" shape. Trigger/ trigger hanger are replaceable via access from the underneath side of the stock. Action = Wichita WBR1375 single shot ( s/n 15 ). Barrel = Broughton 29" SS 1-8 5-"C" rifled 6mm Palma, chambered in my "DEEP 6 " wildcat. DEEP 6 chamber is cut by running a 6mm Remington reamer in "short", for a nominal .466" base diam. 7 X 64 Brenneke is the parent brass, as it has the required .466" base diam I need. 7 X 64 is .308 bolt face compatible rimless, and I use Norma brass ( LR primed ). DEEP 6 case capacity = 51.2gr H20 . It has the same long VLD-friendly neck that the 6mm Rem has. I put a slot in the beam for the recoil lug, but really didn't need to, as recoil forces are comparatively low; thanx to rifle all-up weight. The barrel clamp is re-locatable, and helped me tune out undesired verticle. I only had the adjust the clamp 1/2" fwd from flush against the recoil lug, to where good groups became possible. I typically use Sierra 95 "T-Mk" or Berger 95VLD for groundhog, and for target work. RL-22 has shot very well, and I'm doing range work these days w/ the Sierra 95 over RL-23 and RL-26 charges. Scope right now, is a 2X-boosted T-36, mounted w/ Ken Ferrel 20mao base and rings. With regards, 357Mag [/QUOTE]
