My Correct Handed A-Bolt

[RED333]

A few weeks ago Caster had this left handed A-bolt for sale, knowing I was left handed

He waved it under my nose, Not realy I got a hold of Him first.

I shot it 4 times, no scope, it worked great.

So I am thinking how do I make it "MINE"

Found "Richards Microfit Gunstocks"

Great people, took 4 days to get here.

I ordered one of their Wildcat Style Thumbhole stocks in Black Widow Laminate.

After much fitting, sanding and 1 coat of Tung Oil, this is what I have.

"My Browning A-Bolt in 7mm REM MAG"

I am going to add more Tung Oil as the stuff dries.

Dadburn barrel is so long and my pic shooter is cheap I can not get the hole rifle in the pic.

Cool, one of these days after I finish my last two ARs I'd really like to custom build a bolt gun from a Savage action. Good job!

Thanks guys!!!

NICE!

I still own my LH A-Bolt. Was trying to sell it at one time.

Never heard of Tung oil? Is it for the stock?

[RED333]

Thanks Dennis

Yes it is for the stock, water proof finish.

A bit of reading for ya.

I got out on my range and did a little shooting, single bag under the forarm just in front of the mag door. 75 yards, factory ammo, 140 gran core-lokt "managed recoil" round.
Scope is a 9-25x50, picked up from a member here
The tag is 2"x3", the hole in red is a sight round, the yellow in a bounce back off my back stop.

My back stop is an old griddle plate I got from work, the round is working on it a bit.
