Just finished up 2 stocks for the Ruger , along with some trigger and bolt work.
1st stock is the stock one that I worked over . I took 3 inches off the fore arm then laid it down from tip to receiver . Did some sculpting on the grip and added some length with a palm rest . Fits my hand very nice now . Squared of the butt and put some walnut strips on to make up for the loss of length . Added some spacers in red and white just for some detail . Added a Barska 6 x 24 x 50 for 50 yrd. bench rest shooting . I hope it will do ok , not for real competition just for fun , challenge my self . Getting shaky and blind so if I could get quarter size hits at 50 I 'll feel good.
2nd one is a Boyd's that I just got and decided to paint as I didn't want it to look like everyone else's Boyd's .
I may sell it at some time as I want to build a custom from scratch some day .
Forgot to add : Painted in Candy Apple red with acetylene smoke in random pattern .
Thanks for looking ,
