why did you put it in a vacuum?
To seal the stock.
That's a professional stock you've made, what is the purpose of the offset forearm? If I had to guess, I would say that it helps control the torque as it tracks.
Bench rest shooting really interest's me. I hope to get into it someday.

with the pending divorce and winter coming, I need to org the garage and make me a stock :-)
newbie from gr, mi.
Thank you Dan,
Yes the offset stock is to control torque, it is my version of a Dogtracker. The stock is built for an Axis, to shoot 600 and 1000 yard IBS/NBRSA matchs with. I did shoot one 600 yard match with it when it was still in primer, and it tracked excelent. Hopefully you will get into benchrest It is a sport I truly love. This is a low buck build, I have less than $800 in it, with scope.
It's awesome when you make your own stock isn't it. I have made three using the original tuperware and bondo. I have also made two out of plywood. They are awesome.
What kind of vacuum chamber do you have>
Willing to give back for what the sport has done for me!
Home made
Well I thought I would breath some life back into this post and show some pictures of the action used.
Here is the bolt handel
Also notice this model has the new gold target accu-trigger, and the right side bolt release.
More picture to come.
A few picture for the stock test run at SE ohio 600 match, looking like a rat rod sitting in primer. Gun shoots amazingly well.
What happened to the sparklies? If they are gone, than BOO on you! They added personality and pizazz!
If you can shoot well AND look good, you've won two battles! Keep up the good work.
The pictures of the stock in Grey primer, are prior to the paint job, For a "test run at SE ohio 600 match" to see how the rifle handedl. Lets put it this way the gun earned its paint job.
I thought it looked a little too green in the back ground for Ohio for this time of the year.
very good job, nice looking stock and i'd like to see it with the gloss finish on it!!
must be nice to be talented, me i have two left hand and i'm right handed!!
Pics are in the 1st post. it looks GOOD !
What did the vacuum chamber do? I am not familiar with what this does for a stock.
It seals the stock. By sucking out the air, and sucking in the sealer.
Seams to be a lot of sucking going on with that stock. I could have saved you a bunch of time and sold you a nice custom green painted Duramax stock with a bunch of lead in it.
I think I had a stock like that at one time.
if you ever want get rid of that plywood stock send me a message

The action is a prototype.

Brand new, not even released yet. You could call it a test action.
Yup,
Nope, the bolt release just makes sence if your e benchrest shooter, it makes removing the bolt MUCH easier, In my opionion ALL Savages should have this modification. It just is a far better way to do things. Also with this modification it made room to install a Kelbly style "Static" ejector.
A few more pictures of the Axis XBR action.

My conscience is getting the best of me, the action work was done by Sharp Shooters Supply.
