TC Encore bench rest type forearm?

[Lefty Trigger]

Been looking at building a TC for shooing bench rest style of target shooting but cant seem to find a forearm with the wide flat bottom for my rest. This is for rifle not pistol.

A quick, low cost solution is to use a shotgun forearm. You'll have to make / source your own screws, but that's easy enough to do.

Id make a plate 3” wide and inlet it into the stock. Dont be too intrusive or itll be hard to sell after your experiment

I build my own forends. Encores, I pillar bed. Be careful of the tiny forend screws TC uses, a heavy forend and a big kicker will bend/shear the screws. Then you have to drill and tap to a bigger size. Contenders with the "top hat" nuts dovetailed into the barrel, I build a bar and inlet it into the forend. I have quit cutting a barrel channel, just leave it flat on top. I use whatever hard wood I have, oak, cherry, black birch and even walnut. I am building a Contender forend right now. I figure I've got $1K invested in tooling and equipment to build $20 forends....."Makes sense to me"
