GP1 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Sako .22br with a Joe west stock feels nice and shoots well, this will be my NV rifle, The stock took me a day to get it looking like this , had to do a little bit of work to the inlet as it was tight and gave it 5 coats of oil using 00.00 wire wool between coats. A big thank you to Joe West Rifle Stocks and will be doing the same to all my rifles B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitebridges Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Joe West's are only up the road in North Walsham. Not the first time i've seen quality work from them. Looks a very nice job. http://joewestriflestocks.com/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitebridges Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 GP1, I should think you're pleased with it. Agreed, and their prices look good. I wouldn't mind having my rimfires done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger3167 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Absolutely Superb. i was waiting to buy a Sako Quad with the new Range stock on it, Not available anywhere as of yet. Might just buy a heavy barrel Quad and have a custom stock made like yours. Is the Stock a one that is readily available or did you specify what it was that you wanted?

GP1 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Cheers Simon, I put it on a few sites to promote a British company which deserves as much praise as possible in this day and age, its so hard for any business let alone a stock making business to make a go of it.

wildfowler.250 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Very nice what 'normal' caliber would you say this is closest to? .223 or .22-250? I'm guessing the accuracy will be something else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) Its a 6mm br necked down to a .22 ,this might give you an idea of what the case looks like compared to others Edited July 30, 2013 by GP1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Well that grouping will certainly make stuff dead out to quite respectable ranges. A nice looking rifle that - are they single shot with that funny looking stubby case or will it still mag feed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Nice looking set up there. And if that group gets much smaller you will be zeroing on postage stamps next. What's your choice of NV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
