No problem but I'll probly not get any shooting done if there is a cooler invold hahaha..."Mick-VA"Imold - I volunteer to be your spotter and rifle caddy (and cooler driver). My bet is on a RAW .30 or .25 60 FPE version with Fat Kings. I am experienced. The spotter part

That is your best way to go,that's why I went that way....the other way is ok with sling stud but I always thought the Bipod wasn't as tight useing that method of attachment.

I have the ProChrono and that diga link with its apps will hookup to my android phone or iPad and then I can just do a printout from my home printer which is also setup with Bluetooth if all the planets are align right.

Didn't get any shooting in today being my son took off down the creek on his paddle board and I had to set up the 200 yard range myself and it was hot and humid out so needless to say I was in no mood to shoot....Tomorrow I'll get out and shoot some lead down range.....
Should add that I tripped over my little killer I mean little therapeutic dog and ended up with my right leg knee deep in mud and water so that didn't help my mood with the heat either walking around with a water soaked pant leg and shoe.

She's a real work of art alright. But man, she's a CANNON!"Imold"

That's why I thought she was so light; I don't have the scope mounted yet! But she should be even more balanced once I get that mounted. The scope will improve the center of gravity on the two-point rifle rest of my Trigger Stick tripod as the scope will be between the two rest points. (Hell, she even fits perfectly in my rifle benchrest!) It just keeps getting better and better! Martin has designed a helluva rifle!
The cutting of the Forest Green laminate stock came out well too. There's a big patch and swath of green on the outside of the butt and forestock, respectively
. I'm a big fan of the thumbhole too. I had heard some reports about grip issues, but my hand nestles in there perfectly; very stable grip.Upvote 0
I'd have to check the specs. I don't think it's that much. But man, the stock is utterly gorgeous; not a blemish. I'm really glad I got the Forest Green laminate. And she fits perfectly in my two-point rifle rest on my Trigger Stick tripod! But man, is this beauty LONG! It's advertised as 47", but I measured 49" from the end of the buttpad to the muzzle. It's a full boat in my Eberlestock Gunslinger II rifle scabbard backpack!

Can't wait to see it decked out Marco. I got another email from Sandra just verifying the R/H stock on my order confirmation,sounds like I got one of two that's ever going to be made in that color.

Yeah, Imold; I think it's well worth it to get just the stock you want. I was tempted to pick a stock that the block was already in stock just so it could be cut sooner, but I'm glad I waited a month for the Forest Green laminate block to come in. The multi-colored layered look of green, gray, and brown is stunning.
I am so incredibly behind on my professional responsibilities due to the logistics of the Bar Exam that I can't dive in to really enjoying my new RAW right now. ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!! But, I monkey around with her here and there. There's a lot of preliminary stuff I have to do before I can start to bag bunnies (i.e., clean the barrel, mount and level the scope, throw lead across the Chrony, zero, range, yada, yada, yada...). But I'm gonna love every moment of it! I'm really gonna have my hands full with this honey, that's for sure!

Tell me about it! She's latched to my bench gun rest sitting on my pool table just waiting for attention. But I have a ree-DONK-ulous amount of backlog of chores to do.
I haven't actually shot her yet; but I have inspected her stem-to-stern, and she is flawless
. A real masterpiece. VERY nice!Upvote 0
