I am doing a bit of work for Joni Lynn on a rifle project. She had already done a masterful job of inletting and bedding the recoil lug. I am impressed by the quality of work.
Anyway, I'm going to stick this topic during the build, to keep Lynn up to date, and maybe give a few tips for others.
It appears we start out with a Bishop stock, and a nice mid '50's FN Mauser action. It is barreled in .280 Ackley.
