Scarborough or Scoville LV / HV

[Ccrider]

Just curious. Has anyone used their 3 inch LV Scarborough or Scoville stock on a HV 171b setup? If so, how does it handle.

I could easily make weight with a heavier scope and add weight in the backend of the stock.

Thanks
Charles

Well HV is 13.5lb, but bart uses a hv scarbrough on his 17lb ibs light gun

Why a Scoville? How old are you? My buddy was waiting 3 years for his stock....before his action was lost by LB. Still waiting.

Thanks. I used the wrong terminology. I am talking about using the Scarborough that is used to make 10.5 on a ibs 17lb. gun.

That still doesn’t make any sense????

Either Scoville or Scarborough used to make 10.5.

Fixed it- ibs 17lb

I have one. I put a hv barrel on it, a picatinny weight, a stainless picatinny rail, a terminator scope, and a tungsten weight in the back. The lv designed rifle becomes a 17lb light gun. Bart uses a hv designed stock, big scope and big barrel in the light gun class. You can add weight quickly, its hard to take it away

No problem to make your scoville or scarbrough into a 17lb gun

Thanks. I wish I had thought to ask this question about 12k dollars ago.

I do too if you got $12k in it

Different guns, trying different things. Ultimately, I think I am going to end up wanting to use one or two guns for all things and change the barrel and scopes accordingly.

To further this question about making a short range Scarbough into a 17pound HG. I know Bart has done this. I wonder if Bart pillar bedded or “glued and screwed” his action in. Most all of the short range Scarbrough/ Scoville’s are just “glue in’s” that I have seen. A 28 inch HV might be too much for a glue in. Plus the extra recoil and torque of a long range barrel may be a lot for a glue in. I talking about a short range 22 inch 13.5tw PPC shooting 68g bullets vs a 28 inch 8tw 6BRA shooting 103-108 grainers.

Great questions. Maybe @BartsBullets will chime in on this.

I have shot quite a few 30br rounds through my glued in LV Bat 3l. Quite a bit of torque and recoil but it shoots dots and I have seen no harm to it.

I have 2 HV Scarborough’s and 2 LV Scarborough stocks. They are all glued and screwed with Bat DS actions. I’ve shot all of them for long rang competition with 28 inch barrel and a heavy scope (Terminator or Precision) with a weight screwed into the butt of the stock.

@Ccrider youre getting off cheap I dumped over 20K into it before I figured out I already had what I needed.

Thanks @BartsBullets; I think. That sure sounds consoling, but something about it just don’t feel right.

Both are pretty stiff for no more than they weigh.

I hand never been a fan of adding non performance items to a light gun to get it to weight. Then I came across a 24 ounce Robertson Stock. I didn’t need another LV, so I made a pretty nice weight system that got it up to 13+ pounds. I wanted everything removable so I could take it back 10.5 pounds in the future.

The thing mounts a Bat Neuvo Action 30 BR and shoots great

I mounted 4 brass fitted rectangles in the forearm slots, and made a rather chunky brass butt plate with a hard foam recoil pad. I used another 1/8 thick brass plate on the other side.

It all came out pretty good.

You can put weight in a good spot easily by making a picatinny riser from heavy stuff, getting a stainless rail from bat instead of aluminum, and getting a honking scope like a terminator. I turned my 10.5 scarbough into a very heavy gun with these, a hv barrel, heavy tuner and the tungsten weight in the back.
