benchrest rifle build

[82boy]

No Shehane stock will make weight for IBS/NBRSA light gun. It will have to be light fiberglass, like a Tom Meredith, or a McMillian Edge.

I take this statement back for a quick second.
The only stock in the Shehane lineup that is even possible to make weight, and fit into the rules is the Baby tracker. With a fight, ton of ingenuity, and a ton of cutting hacking, and grinding, you can get this stock to make weight with a repeater action, and it is so close to being on the verge, you will have to say a prayer before weighing in. You will have to find an aluminum trigger guard (Like finding a needle in a hay stack.) Limit you choice of scopes, have parts ground down, cut out, and so forth. All in All it is a pain in the but to do.

On top of that, For the price of a Shehane stock you are 3/4 to almost at the same level as buying a quality complete Benchrest gun. (Older Panda's, Hall's, Farley's ETC can be bought for $1500.) For the same price as a Shehane stock you can get a carbon fiber wood stock like a Scoville, Lenard, or Scarborrel, and have a far superior short range Benchrest stock.

Now with that said, I would not recommend a Shehane stock for a short range IBS/NBRSA light varmint Benchrest gun.
