BTW. I've decided that The Spruce King will get abbreviated when I get him back up and working for a living again. Barrel will be 16.5" long with a Harrell's muzzle brake added to the end of it. Finished total length will not exceed 18" And I'm going to try to find a nice slender stock for it. Maybe a McMillan ?? Possibly a Boyd's laminated stock that I slim down.
CTF,
Just be careful with the Boyd's laminate stock mate. A guy on one of the forums down here in Oz had one fitted to his .458 and a few of us were asking him how it went because we were thinking of fitting one to our .458's.. He told us that not too long after fitting, the recoil caused it to split down the centre. He warned us against fitting one to a .458 and he then fitted a McMillan to his rifle.
Just wanted to share his experience.

Thank you. I plan on bedding and cross bolting the daylights out of it. I Really like the Boyd's Classic ( JRS) shape as it has the most comfortable grip. A good drop at the comb and the foreend can be slimmed without taking too much from the sides of the action area. My goal is a nice lively handling feel that is comfortable for carrying in my hand or with a Ching style sling. My primary dislike of the Ruger Zytel stock is the cramped grip.
