Drilling into a HS Precision stock???

[Dave Hoback]

8” into the stock?? For a bipod adapter? Overkill much...

What diameter is the adapter rod? Looks about 1/2”? Well, you’ll need an extra long drill & some way to keep it straight. Doing this with a hand drill is NOT recommended. Probably need set up in a lathe with a custom jig. But don’t see how that would even work.


And this is just for a bipod you say? Does it like.... DO something else? Cook breakfast..or babysit the kids??

I agree with Dave. You could put the drill bit in the chuck and tie the stock down to some cribbing on the carriage. Or a tall drill press maybe. Indicate the best horizontal surface and the center line of the barrel channel. Shift it off center to put the hole in center of forearm mass. That is a ton of setup time though and a Real Gunsmith or stock finisher may have a way better idea.


Or you could strap it in, get someone with a precision eye to watch the axis you cant see. Possibly two people. Drill a little oversize. Take it slow. Grind the bit cutting edges flat on the flute so it does not get away from you. Adjust it in the epoxy before it sets. You got this!

Nice looking rig BTW
