    Built a light weight stock for the Model 7 260 imp to replace the horrible plastic fantastic.

    The stock is pretty light at 500 grams with the Limbsaver recoil pad

    The rifle as pictured with the VX3 4.5-14 x 40 CDS is 4.96lbs







    The wood is quite soft, nowhere near as strong as Carbon Fibre & it will get damaged but such is life, it's there to be used

    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Good catch on the front sight gimp. most don't notice, i mounted it like that because otherwise it would interfere with a sling mount on the other side of the rail. As for the NFA stamp, I need to save up some money before I jump into that mess of paperwork. Then I can look into putting a can on the end while im at it. Perfect car gun!

    Exactly why I need to save. Spending on a tax stamp for a cheap lower doesnt make much sense. But if I go the SBR route then switching out the lower and building a new rifle from this one is easy enough.

    Personally I'd take the bullet holder off it and not a put a scope on it. Beautiful rifle.
