[QUOTE="dasbear, post: 1231688, member: 26769"] I know its been awhile since I gave a update to this project so here is the latest. The first prototype stock had a 13.5" LOP with the but pad I built and the rise in stock profile at top prevented me from getting a clear view through scope so I remade the stock 3" shorter also added 3 rings on scope as slippage was noticed on my scope. now for the skinny on how it carries and shoots AWESOME the OAL is 32.25" LOP is 10.5" it feels like my Ruger 22 mag when I hold it to my shoulder and the accuracy is the same as before I stocked it 1"@ 100 yds with 63.5 grs RL15, fed215 primer and sierra 235 gr boat tail bullet@ 2500fps. I will eventually change calibers but this was an experiment with the 35 whelen AI anyhow. The total wt on complete stock w/ grip is 13.2ozs complete gun w/ scope is 6#3.2ozs it straps to side of backpack and is covered by the hood I will try to add a new picture tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
