The action is not seated in the stock as more inlay work is required for the rear action clamp.

It's all coming along really well. Going to be a beautiful rifle. thumbs up take a bow

Hope you all enjoy seeing it.

Is that knurled knob on the back an adjustable power setting? I must have missed the stock making section too . I just don't remember much .

Thanks

Adjustable power. Yes.

Ball bearing Spring guide. Very smooth.

Walnut stock. I'll sand it and oil it after I finish the inlet process.

Matt, yes; the longer barrel people let me use on their PCP guns, the more effecient they are.

That looks Incredible !!! I remember the carving on the stock and it is exquisite also!!! Can hardly wait to see it completed! Thank you Gary for staying with the program and working on it. Praying for a good end to the neck/health problems, and may God bless. He already has on my rifle!

Thank you Bob,

I very much appreciate your patience and interest. Here's a few pics of the stock to date. I'll pick at it over the next couple of weeks as I need that type of work. Of course, it will come to life with the costs of stock oil! thumbs up

All my Best,
Gary

I already am a very proud owner excited!! I can't come up with the adjective to really describe it and do it justice! Can hardly slap the smile off my face now. Can't hardly wait to get it in my hands and shoot itshooter with bench rifle. Thanks for the pics Gary and the continued work to get this finished.

Hi Guys.

Kurt pointed out this post has 840 views in the last couple of weeks. I better bring it back forward so it doesn't fall off the page.

Comments bring them back to the top. I'll be back to this project ASAP. i have been doing a bunch of carving. That's one of the items to finish here. It's a great rifle. Thanks for looking. thumbs up

Gary,

I linked this post to the yellow forum so that was probably good for a few hundred.

I thought this was something that would find a large audience.
