[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 510294, member: 2011"] Hidden beneath the paint is a Bell & Carlson $125.00 sporter tuperware stock that Kirby fitted at my request as I intended to purchase another more appropriate stock later. Howwever, by that time I was in one of those 'more time than money' situations.:) This was to be a prototype stock that could be shipped off and duplicated for use on my other rifles. But the sucker works so well I use it as is. There is Bondo, JB Weld, Steel Putty, and a piece of pine 2-by in there to extend the forearm to make the barrel not look so long. The original stock was way too flexible in the forearm and all of the stuff I added makes it about right. The tuperware stuff doesn't like things sticking to it. Rough it up a bit first. Have fun........ 270 AM [IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a243/royinidaho/Sky-Shot-to-work-on.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a243/royinidaho/Palm-Swell-Left-2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a243/royinidaho/Palm-Swell-Front.jpg[/IMG] Bytheway, I have a Rem 700 Sporter 338 RUM in an ADL stock like yours that shoots 300 SMKs, if you read the wind correctly, is consistently well under MOA @ 1k. I did nothing to it but stick in on the barreled action. I bought it from an LRH member for 40 bucks. Several years later when things changed to having more money than time I went this route. The $ saved from the original project helped fund this one. Think long term..... 375 AM [/QUOTE]
