George Wood, Welcome to the forums. You're fucked for hanging out in polite company ever again. BUUUU WAHHH HAA HAA HAA.

Hey Everybody,
I'm Charlie, and I just commissioned a wood stock. And I feel..... naughty, very..... naughty.

Well I'm signing off for now. Gotta go sing the lumberjack song.....

Oops, Lois (Quickfinger) just said there will be no singing of the lumberjack song in this little home.

JohnCharlie,

I've already got a replacment, I coudnt go that hogback anymore, it kept kocking the snuff out of my mouth and with the price of long cut skoal being twice the price gasoline I had to do something differnt. I've posted this a time or two before, but didnt figure it would hurt to show it again. Still have somework to do on it but getting closer. would have worked on it tonight, but coorslite got the best of me

Ron,

I really hate the looks of the Bavarian Hogback stock. I would prefer the gaudy Weatherby Monte Carlo, honestly. I think the Weatherby generally fits better anyway, so it gets a double plus .

Since I started shooting a 12 guage at 8 years of age, almost 42 years ago, it must have made me more recoil tolerant. The hogback works fine for me, and I have used it right on up to the 45 Lapua with 500 grainers at 2500 fps, as well as the .378 Weatherby with 300 grainers at 2900 fps.



It is funny to hear the whining about the looks of the hogback. It hurts some peoples eyes! I am sure it must be painful to other parts of their anatomy too. Some people have very low pain thresholds.



There are two kinds of people in this world. Whiners and hogback shooters. Variety is the spice of life. Pass the fatback.

There you go, another whiner.

Weatherby stocks are just the worst ever. Why are they so short. Most Americans are bigger then the average citizen Kane

Rip,

I kinda like the looks of the hog back, recoil wasnt that bad, but I needed a reason to make another stock and the snuff thing was the only thing I could think of. Recoil is nothing when your on you third high maintenance wife

Gringo,
Your logic is impecable. As a former long time member of the Texas brown racing stripe on the left side of the pickup club, well, I know don't get between a man and his snoose/dip/worm dirt. That is a right serviceable looking stock, by the way.

As far as hog back stocks go, I used to fly F-4 Phantoms so I had any concern about what the neighbors might say about the looks of my toys burned out of me. The day I had an engine blow up in flight with two full external fuel tanks and 6 Mk-82 (500#) practice bombs on board (100 degree day) and that ugly plane (we called it the Rhino) brought me and my navigator back in good shape was the day I internalized "beauty is as beauty fucking does". (After landing it too me five minutes to pull out the seat cushion that got sucked up my asshole by the "pucker factor".)

Let's raise a toast to functional stocks that help put the bullet right where we are looking.

JNC,

I have always thought the F4 was a pretty airplane, and so did/do a number of older gentlemen I know. Not surprised at all that she brought you home with one blown engine and a heavy load, I bet she was a REAL handful though with no power and flying subsonic & laden. The only complaint that I recall is the nearly complete lack of visibility, relatively speaking, not a good thing for a fighter.

Yeah AC,
The F-4 was a good old bird. Cranky, but a very honest airplane to fly. Visibility to the rear was poor, so the game plane was to shoot down anything in front of you.
The F-16 was way better to fly, and much more capable, but the F-4 will always be first in my heart.

im using

federal 416 rigby brass

fed gold match 215 mag primer

barnes 400 grain x bullet

96 grains of imr 4831 (max listed load) for a cronoed velosity of 2480-2490fps out of my ruger 1# in 50 deg f weather in 90 to 100 degree weather the load tops out at 2505-2515

I'll try that load with H-4831 SC.
Thanks!

DJ,

350 gr Speer Mag Tip
Norma case
CCI 250
104.5 grains of IMR4350
Muzzle velocity ~ 2800 fps
Barrel length - 24"
Group size - better than 1.75" @ 100 yards every time (damned good for the rifle in question which tyically spits out 2.5" groups).

I like the wood too, much better than plastic! Should not be too difficult to remove the hump and reshape the cheek peice and grip. LOP is way short for Jeffe though!
