F-Class extreme offset stock

[Kings X]

This is my stab at an offset stock.
It is extreme.
And not for everyone.
The barreled action is as far to the side as I could get it. The wall thickness is 1/8” on that side. All the wood up front left room for a 5”x6” mercury recoil reducer. The off side weight and the vibration damping SHOULD help with the torque.
What makes this stock unique is that the 3” wide front bag rider is in-line and centered with the rear bag rider angles. Some offset stocks have just shifted the front by adding width to one side and take material off the opposite side. The sides are 1” tall to slide down the vertical bag ear.
The other trick was to get the cheekpiece (angle) back in-line with the bore. The scope is offset 3/8” to aid this alignment.
Really sweet stock to shoot.

Looks sweet,nice job and I am sure it was a job to make it like you did. You stock makers are true craftsman. Thanks for the update.

Interesting project, let us know how it works out please.

I have seen the effects of torque when the rifle lifts one bipod leg, typically it is the right side. I have always wondered whether this happens as the bullet is still in the barrel, or with a heavy rifle and all that inertia, whether this occurs after the bullet has left the barrel. It stands to reason that for a given bullet weight in a given caliber, a faster twist will magnify this torsion effect.

KingsX, does this design effectively stop this torsion effect?

Funny - with my gun it is the left side ( viewed from rear) that comes up.
It beats the right side of my front bag down. Every now and then I have to pound it back flat.
Have not shot the stock but once - so jury is still out.
I may not shoot it in the Nationals - too big a match to be playing around.
