Just finished new F-class gun

[jd12]

I just finished machining my new f-class rifle and got it back from the anodizer this week and assembled it, here it is. Its a barnard action with a Brux barrel mounted in a barrel block, chambered in 7mm rsaum. The other gun pictured ( Blue gun) is my first stock i made a couple years ago that has shot great for me I just incorperated some new ideas in the new stock (red)

Nice looking rig!

Out of curiosity, how much does the aluminum stock weigh?

The red gun with the barnard and nightforce is 21 lbs.

I included some pictures of the red gun before anodizing

Nice looking rigs!

Two questions:

1. Am I nutz, or is that rear bag almost sideways? Is the front rest offset too?
2. Where do you rest your cheek? Right on the metal? If so, how do you deal with cold weather... ;-)

Again, nice machining there!

Thank you all for the compliments. Yes the ears on the rear bag are offset from the centerline of the bag, its SEB bag they make them straight or offset. I shoot lefthanded and with the pistol grip stock the bag works great to rest your hand on. The cheek piece is adjustable but on the right side of gun so its hard to see in the pictures, the red one isn't covered yet like the blue one but i glue on a soft felt like material. Suprisingly I shot it wednesday morning in the 20s outside and it didnt seem to cold or maybe it was just that i was shooting my new gun in January in wisconsin and not a damn thing was going to make bad

If anyone is interested i plan on making some of these stocks to sell.
