Tools/ toys all good fun, but sometimes there's nothing like using your hands :)
I'm sure your missus would rather that than you using a mill on her lol :) It had to start sooner or later with a topic involving butt hooks :) Edited by (pink)MIST - 06 Jun 2014 at 6:23pm |

Right, all together now only a few more holes to drill and tap. Will install it on the TX tomorrow and see how it feels.

Right done some more to it and i am happy with the way it looks now.
I milled some slots and stretched some orings over.  Next I drilled and tapped the locking screw hole to lock everything in place.  I have made it so all the screws are facing the same way so you can bolt it to the stock and adjust everything without having to take it apart to tighten screws like some designs I have seen. You can adjust this clock wise, anti clock wise, tilt it left and right and move it up or down and you can move in and out.  |

Want +1
Looks the part, does everything, nice upgrade for any rifle. Dead keen to have a try with it, but I think you've pretty much nailed what's needed to be done here in nz. It seems all these parts are ex uk at present, which really pushes the end price up, with all the mucking around as well. It's going to have such a good feel knowing that it's nz made to, not out worked to a factory in china. Very nice, you should be proud |

Looks great. I agree, pretty pricey to buy something like this.
Well done! |

I have decided to replace the bottom jaw with a bar hook I had made my plans to have a bar hook at the bottom of it under the bottom jaw but when i was shooting it today i felt a little weird under my arm pit because of the width of the jaw. So i have come up with a new design. I started it this afternoon and will do some more on it later after tea. This bar will be made of alloy at this stage to test. Once i am happy with it i will make it out of Stainless steel.
 It doesnt look like much at the moment and you may not know how it will go together but you will see later on tonight obce i have finished it what it will look like and how it will work. |

Ok finished the hook now. I must say i think i nailed this, feels so much better and the rifle is way more stable. You can adjust the hook very well with 3 points of adjustment just on the hook so you can get it to the exact spot that feels good for you.
Here are some more pictures of the build. I can now start making them for resale and start on the 4 i have pre sold. If anyone is interested in there they will be $160.00 with the hook.    Edited by Nunga - 08 Jun 2014 at 8:35pm |
