Just finished a rifle my Dad started
30 years ago. He had a Interarms Mark X action in 270 Win. He built the stock out of wood from our farm that he had dried 10 years earlier.
Curved metal checkered buttplate and grip cap. Found some Warne steel mounts (they were matte of course) shortened...
Got a 500-34x at benchrest match Saturday at Rockingham Gun Club. That was good enough for vintage class that day. After hearing about the older guys luck or lack of it with one, I definitely got a gem. Funny, both cards were 250-17x.
Used barreled action bedded in my stock Frankinturd. 3 layers plywood wrapped with fiberglass cloth and resin.
Aluminum pillars and devcon. Shoots good. My daughter is shooting it in factory class 50 yd benchrest. She hasn't shot a 500 yet but she has got a 497.
