    Chop chop

    After dealing to that Sako Bavarian earlier this year, I’ve got the bug for rifle reinvention. This rifle has always been a bit chunky through the wrist, butt area, and I’d looked at selling her, but when she didn’t go I took it as a sign. So I’m about halfway putting it through a diet, slimming it down, shortening the grip and modifying the cheek piece. Feeling better already.

    Good job. They are stupidly heavy and too low in the cheek piece. So it will be a good improvement. I hope that you fill finish it with chequering again?
