Couldnt sleep because I got it in my head to start working on my "new" Remington 722 tonight, once I get rolling on something it stays going until I cant do anymore, I am to that point. The stock is hanging with 2 coats of Tru-oil drying, the action/barrel are reblued, cleaned, and oiled nicely, new globe front sight is on. Nothing to do now but wait to buff the stock in the morning and then more coats of Tru-oil.
Once I got through the finish that was on the stock I was holding a very nice chunk of walnut. The only problem is that the stock was cut down, I have the chunk that was cut off but I opted not to try and glue it back togther because the cut off peice has alot of tear out from the saw cut. BUT the peice is only about 1.75", I am thinkin I can find a recoil pad about that deep and grind it to fit the stock.
Anyone have any suggestions on the recoil pad, about its only function is to lengthen the stock, shooting cast loads the 300 doesnt kick very much anyways.
