This is what and Airgun should look like and weigh…IMO, what do you think? I just added pictures that show the process if you’re interested.

You are very talented!! Workmanship is above excellent. I'll give you the "Best in Show" award.

Have you thought about dropping the scope lower? Looks awfully high. Gorgeous gun regardless.

Mike it’s hard to argue against that little beauty... For walking about it looks just right, that it performs, confirms its prowess.

92 yds Benchrest - 12.5 slugs…crazy
I feel like I won the lottery…it’s a pistol for peets sake.

the care with which it was built is evident. I appreciate anything done with care. All that matters is that you put your effort into the gun, it looks great and I've no doubt it works well. So I appreciate it and you for all the care and work you put into it.GBGUNNER

The trigger guard does not match the lines of the gun, but otherwise it is is indeed what a gun should look like.

So then you’d have to grab one of its brothers…I’m committed to this light weight idea.

I actually like a high scope, I shot Field Target for years and it necessitates having a high scope. That said, I never intended to keep that scope on the rifle. That was just for long range testing.

Mike, I love where you’ve taken this… A gun you can actually bring along on dog walks and not have your hands full.

That was just temporary for testing. The receiver does sit very low with much of it above the barrel line.
That scope was never destined to stay.

Agreed! When the trigger isn’t caulked, it pushes way down, I needed a big trigger guard to accommodate it.
I would love to find a strip of blued steal that I could bend the shape I like.

This was by far and away the most difficult project I’ve ever taken on. I’ve finished stocks, refinished stocks bedded stocks, modified stocks you name it.
I’ve looked at these two pieces so many times and every time I pull them out I say the heck with it. I decided to do this for myself for a Christmas present.
I fitted a piece of Koa in, to fill the magazine cover. I used Koa because it’s so darn hard. I Devconed it to the stock.
Then I had to open it up for all the mechanisms as you can see. It really didn’t fit all that well but I’m good with the end product. In fact I may make another one.
I had five of these stocks left over from another project, the guy who sold them to me screwed me so they’ve been just sitting there for 10+ years.
At least I found a use for a couple of them.
