Thats remarkable. I would like to hear more. What did you use for the estruchion? Did you have to modify that mag box?

It's a run of the mill Ruger Mk II in 280 Remington which has been a great hunting tool. I told the stock maker I wanted a short classic style with as small a wrist piece as he could make. He handed me a Kimber & said he could put the Ruger in one just like it.
It fits me well, weighs 6.4 lbs bare. With scope mounted it came in at 7.10 lbs with Ruger rings & its Schmidt & Bender 6x42, both of which are quite hefty. I am going to try Talley's too before I finalize the build.

I simply handed it off to the stock maker and returned a few months later & picked it up. I don't know what mod's he may have done. It still holds four down. I do know it has pillars. The stock weighs 20 ounces. No escutcheon.

That looks awesome. Too cool that stock was able to work. What gunsmith did this? You take the rifle apart and see how he did that?

Dang, that must have been a lot of work. It is hard enough to bed a Ruger with the angled screw and the damn two piece bottom metal.

No, it is a hand laid custom patterned from the Kimber.

Very cool. How much does something like that set a guy back?
Edit: If you don't wanna post the price, please shoot me a PM. I've always been interested in a high quality light Ruger stock.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Reloader. You're a freekin genious. Thanks for posting. How much does she weigh? The stock took a full pound off the overall weight. It weighs 6.4 lbs.
