I'm hoping like hell it doesn't come to that.

Yay! 

 

Now for the reeeally scary bit. Proper Scaredy Mc####yerpants about this....

So far, so good! Taping ALL the stock is correct, so good job there. Whatever you leave untaped will get bedding compound on it (Murphy's Law.) Good luck with bedding the stock. I hope it goes well.

By the power of Greyskull, it came out! I did lose a little sliver off one side, but I can epoxy that back in. 

Soooo..... do Holland & Holland just call me, orrrrr???

[Handsome Rob]

Pretty much all done! 

I'm intentionally not refinishing the stock. I've got pretty rifles & I end up not using them for fear of knocks & bumps. This'ns starting ugly.

Great job Rob! You got your first one done & behind you. That's the hardest one.

I think H&H called but were asking about your car warranty first, to be sure you had reliable transpo, and you hung up on them old chap. Bad form. Missed opportunity but everything happens for a reason. I think it means you start your own custom shop?

[Handsome Rob]

Well, i reprofiled & refinished the damn stock.

Looks good, now let us know how it shoots. 

[Frog4aday]

That does look good. Nice work.

I've certainly had worse! 3 of the 285gn Prvi at +/- 2400fps, into a See-Hair over 3/4" makes me happy! 

 

Bring on Cape Buffalo season.

That’s great, now try that out farther than 7 yards and see how she does

Well dang, that gun is a shooter! You have to be pleased with those results after all the work you did. If you can't find a cape buffalo nearby, a trip to Texas to shoot some hogs could be a good initiation.
