I put a few shots through it today and it hit the same spot but poi was higher. I plan to bed the action. Just wondering if I will need to re zero once settled into this stock. I guess fire it heaps and keep screws tight so the stock settles in. Should I epoxy around the bolt holes to strengthen them?

Can't hurt, I've found star washers work quite well.
POI shift could be bolts done up tighter than before, or slightly off center and pulling the action differently. As long as they're all hitting the same spot tho, not spraying a shotgun pattern of lead everywhere , then once re zeroed it should be game on as normal |

Good. It's a bit heavier but position wise seems really good. I will need a hook as it's heavier up front.

I put a couple of coats of tru oil on it now. Sanding between coats with fine grit. It makes the layers stand out nicely. It has a warmth to it. It's not perfect but really pleased with it. I can't wait to get it all finished and use it more.

Did you sand it with the finish oil or did you use water? I tried a bit of the oil and it dried up while sanding. I haven't done a wet and dry sand yet. How say you?

The only thing about these stock blanks, is I feel they all shoulder too low on the rifle for the seated position. When your shoulder is in line with the bore you get the least recoil.
I guess you can just move the buttplates up.

Davey, there are some pretty advanced butt plates being produced here in NZ. Newer, choicer technical advancements being internalised daily by some of the countries greatest tutu minds.

It's not the buttplates, it's the mounting point on the stock :)

I decided to have a dress rehearsal tonight. I fitted my adapted butt plate and fired a few shots. I'm really pleased with my position. Shooting actual targets will tell.
