Saw the smith today and he now has my turned stock. Next week he will start machining the Lilja blank to fit it to the receiver. He also thinks the wood is super.
Need to figure out what color leather to put on the 1/2" leather covered pad and what type inletted real swivel stud to use. Once he machines the quarter rib and sweat it to the barrel we will decide what height Talley rings to order.
Getting there for sure. I did ask him once again about the trigger pull and he said leave it alone its fine. He said its circa 2 lbs already and has zero creep. Guess I lucked out as he's builds custom benchrest rifles and thus he knows what a good trigger feels like.
Will post developments as they occur on a new thread.
