Unsure if my new rifle will arrive before EBR, so I decided to modify my Rapid

To be more suitable for bench rest shooting. Here is a picture of the extendable stock

And a template I made to make it fit more securely into the rear bag

Some walnut fig I picked up locally

Taped two pieces together (easiest way to make identical sides) & used a scroll saw to cut them

Did a little sanding

Then some drilling and counter sinking with a drill press

Also starting working on the piece for the front rest

Drilled and tapped the quick release adapter

Hand finished with a medium walnut Danish Oil

Attached the pieces to the Swift frame

And voila... I've got myself a bench rest gun!

 Will be looking for a full report soon. Just another reason you cant have only one airgun available. And those good neighbors DO help. I have one that is so nice as to bring his 4,500CF tank over and donate air for my 100cf STEEL tank, good friend indeed.
Naturally THE minute you get that rig all set up will be the very moment your new rig shows up.
