That’s got more wood than the inside of a log, I’m assuming you also made the front rest from the same timber? Did you laminate in a press? I’ve often considered black wattle for a stock, makes great shovel handles

Don't forget Kirra's great scores on this rifle also.
Hopefully you will all come down next month to shoot at the Cairns OPM.
Cheers

However, I love my rifle and it runs on lead. #-o

That stock should tame the 223 recoil really well :)
