That's a sharp looking set-up.

Damn fine rig

**rrconductor** · 03-22-2018, 04:35 PM

Have you checked to see if you can use the can in the state you are to, not all states allow cans for hunting.

**Tha Dick** · 03-22-2018, 05:10 PM

Yep

**winyah** · 03-23-2018, 08:25 AM

That came out nice.

Chose not to get the adjustable cheek piece from McMillan because of the extra weight. I mean why buy a carbon fiber stock and add approximately a pound or more of weight.

Had a vision in my head how to make one and definitely didn’t won’t to drill holes in my new stock. So I ordered some Kydex and heavy duty Velcro, got the heat gun out and presto.......

Actually came out better than I envisioned for sturdiness. It’s actually a PITA to get on and adjusted, but once it’s there; it’s there! Rock solid, bitch ain’t moovin!

Re-zeroed and ready to go play at the range.

PS, patent pending......

Shits gonna match your bike helmet perfectly. Winning.

Boff ya

**Griffin** · 04-05-2018, 12:57 PM

I have also always wondered why anyone would buy a carbon stock and then add a pound or more worth of and adjustable cheek piece. Solid work on the Kydex

**Swamp Rat** · 04-06-2018, 08:54 AM

I had someone trying to sell me on that same stock a month ago. I'm still kicking back and forth between that and the McMillan HTG. Can't decide if I want the ergonomic/vertical pistol grip or the more standard sporting look.

Nice looking build! Looking forward to a range report.

**Tha Dick** · 04-13-2018, 04:01 PM

Going to the range in the morning bitches.

Report to follow......

**FLS** · 04-13-2018, 07:15 PM

You shooting the Wheaton match?

**Tha Dick** · 04-14-2018, 05:24 AM

No, my oldest daughter is graduating college that day.

Well, range session cut short. Made clean cold bore 1000yard 1st round hit, then she started acting up a little. After scratching my head and ass, I notice that the barrel is barely touching the stock. Now back to the shop to correct the issue before just wasting ammo.
