And for my next trick....

[Multiracer]

This started life as a Micro fit? piece of wood. It was dimensionally huge in every direction. The inletting was close the bottom metal/trigger guard so so. It kind of looked "off" everywhere.

 

[Multiracer]

So I started whittling.

 

[Multiracer]

And then started adding wood because they did not give me enough in the right places.

 

[Multiracer]

And then whittled some more.....

 

[Multiracer]

Then it starts looking dimensionally better.

Wow!
I sponged a camo job on an old stock today and thought I did something
Very nice progress!

 

[Multiracer]

Final sanding and finish is yet to come.
This will be a practice/loaner unlimited build with a CZ457 action, Jard trigger, Lilja barrel, offset rings with a 20MOA rail, scope TBD.

 

[SteveOak]

Very nice!

I always liked laminated stocks.

 

[Multiracer]

Final check, fit double check of components. I put a JARD trigger in and it needed some safety bar clearance.
Ready for some rubbing from the instrument maker.

 

[Multiracer]

I just got this back from my friend the instrument maker. He put his touch on the finish.When I assemble it Ill post again.

Very nice work. Skill, patience and dedication definitely show.
Now, my only question; why offset rings? Is there some advantage I am too dumb to understand?

"Now, my only question; why offset rings? Is there some advantage I am too dumb to understand?"

This was my situation a few years ago - started to get a cataract in my right eye that impacted normal BR scope use; I had to cock my head over to the right to look through my left eye while shooting. The offset rings helped me until I was able to get my cataracts removed. Shot this way for nearly two years.

Nice work! I too am working on a stock for a cz457. It currently sits in an mdt chassis but I glued a laminate of hardwood spine and paulownia body.
All shaping has been done free hand.
I noticed you have fixed in a recoil lug- my action on the chassis has no recoil lug fitted. Accuracy has been fantastic- several sub moa groups at 50yds with testing. So i fitted a tuner and got it shooting nice and consistent. Figured a stock for it was the next step to wring the most of the factory barrel. I’m going to recess the back of the tang area into the bedding, so will do away with the recoil lug and just allow the bedding to fill the groove where the recoil lug will sit. Still have timber to remove to get it sitting down where it needs to be, plus have to mill out for trigger and magazine.

I like all this stock work..
