Tom- outstanding! I like the fluted barrel and integral brake alot! That stock while nice weighs a ton though. You might consider talking to Mike Manners about a carbon fibre stock. A copper 900gr cup point borerider over 150gr of IMR7828 should be comfortable in that gun and still get close to 1900fps. There may be some recoil reduction inherent in the design to help too.-Rob Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers to do incredibly stupid things- AH (1941)- Harry Reid (aka Smeagle) 2012 Nothing Up my sleeves but never without a plan and never ever without a surprise! | |||

Thanks Rob! Now,how do I get ahold of this Mike Manners?Is he with Lone Wolf Stocks as he can build me one under a pound! ...The Brockman wasnt my first choice,but only choice for now,so we went with it....It is 44 ounces in pic,but we are removing the 6 ounce pad and replacing w/1 ounce fiber pad,drilling butt out with two deep 1" holes and that should get me down about 10 ounces lighter,then BOOMSTICK will be happy too!..More pics to come real soon!

Kid, nice looking gun, but I will keep shooting my 2 heavier 600 OK. Man, 8 pounds is LIGHT!!!!! | |||

KId, I know I am a good one to be talking about recoil, but do you realize that 8 pounder is going to have 243 ft.lbs of recoil at 43'/sec!!! OUCH!! I sure hope that slot brake works REAL GOOD. 16" barrel, that is a real shorty huh. | |||

Tom, try www.mannersstocks.com This may be who Rob is referring to although his name is Tom Manners. 1st class work and customer service. Les | |||

GLZ is right its Tom Manners. I have one of those stocks on a .50BMG and its NICE. BTW I found lots of small 1/8 inch holes work way better than slots as a internal muzzel brake. See if they can drill some for you.-Rob Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers to do incredibly stupid things- AH (1941)- Harry Reid (aka Smeagle) 2012 Nothing Up my sleeves but never without a plan and never ever without a surprise! | |||

Beautiful, but .... GOOD GOD!!! Next you'll be simply grafting a barreled action to your forearm!!! I'd like to make a request: Ask someone to take a long-exposure picture of that thing blasting off at night - it has to look like a flame-thrower! WOW!

Another rifle brought to you by Safarikid's trademarked line - "HURTS". A free sling and reuseable ice pak with every purchase. Spokesmodel dressed in black leather boots swinging a cat-o-nine tails. The preferred firearm for bad, bad boys.

Have to agree - I would never have considered less than 26" before seeing pictures of Tom's 600 OK and 700AHR. Of course, Ed twisted my arm a bit - but he was right.

Thanks guys...I always did except on my shotguns,I go the other way!32" on A5s,36" goose guns when I was a kid and I even owned the Marlin Pump with the 40" Tube!!(Would like to find another one of those!)...Rifles,16" to 20" works good for me.My Long range rifles have 26/28" and I just sold a 338Snipe Tac to Bigdoggy that had a 34" Carbon Fiber!....The short rifle barrels look neat to me and handle so well! A few have asked,why the hell a 16" 50 Alaskan,600 Overkill and I relplied"Because 15" is Illegal" ! LOL! "That's not a knife..THIS is a KNIFE" ! | |||

Naw, SAFARIKID needs a modified Summit XL. At 12 ounces he can carry all week, with no problems! | |||

I agree on both above post! I like the 12 ounce Sumit XL,talked to them,may do that on my 5 pd Lott which will get it down to 4 1/4pds! Its done but for one small detail,will be overnighted here in a few more days! "That's not a knife..THIS is a KNIFE" ! | |||

Excuse my ignorance, what action is being used, I assume it would work well with a 338 Lapua. Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too! Recent college grad, started a company called MK Machining where I'm developing a bullpup rifle chassis system. | |||

Gotta be way too heavy for a little guy like you to tote around Tom!! Maybe you should dump the scope & Pad.. | |||

Agreed! Pad coming off tonight before its shipped and also boreing 2) 3/4"x4" holes in stock to lighten(you see,its Over 8 pds at the moment! ) "That's not a knife..THIS is a KNIFE" ! | |||

Sorta.. cz550 magnum.. which works good with a 416 rigby, which, when shortened, is the parent case of the 338 lapua.
