Be careful with that. If you take it out in the rain the stock will swell up and all the black bits will go orange. No where near enough plastic on it.:D

Why does dirty matter? They are all dirty to a degree. I use CFE223 in my 7-08 with 120 grn and its damned good. The advantage of CFE is that it doesn't copper so much.

Getting close now. Hopefully just another hour or so of sanding and then we get to really see the grain when the sealer goes on 196199

I have been wanting one of these for a while now. Many of you will know I'm all about a short handy rifle that can still stretch the legs a bit for hunting. The whole idea of the SAUM for me over my...

Shaping is now completed, and on to finish sanding ready for the first coat of oil. Really happy with how it shaped up. These little actions make for a very slim light little rifle. Hopefully the...

Chamois in Croatia. Shot my first chamois on South Island many years ago. This is a somewhat limited opportunity hunt in Europe, but after much effort I was able to go out alone. Nothing special...
