On the other hand take that stock and fit a 700 barreled action in it and ya got a match rifle. Anyone seen a bench stock made of plastic?

Dave Out of curiosity, what are the OAL of your loaded rounds? Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have. The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming. Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.
