Flush Cup Install

[rugerhoyt]

Hey all,

Needing some help. I have a Horizon Vandal C in 22CM that is dang near perfect. Took it out chasing coyotes this weekend and I need a remedy real quick. With my other bolt guns/AR-15 I run the magpul sling in flush cups on the stock so the rifle hangs in front of me, barrel down to my left. This gun is so light, with the harris bipod and suppressor on it is very top heavy and shoulder carrying it is nearly impossible. So 2 things...

Is it possible to self install flush cups into carbon fiber? Would also be okay with looking at a new stock (gun is blacked out, looks tacticool but doesn't fit in the coyote woods) can anyone recommend a stock that would fit a "Horizon Stiller" action?

Thank you!

I put QD cups on the left side for carry like you mentioned, across the body muzzle to the left/down.

I use a brad tip drill bit with the points that cut on the outside so the carbon fiber doesn’t fray or chip. Use a drill press for best results. 1/2” bit then a little enlarging/fitting so the cups fit, and cut back the foam if needed so there is room for a little epoxy.

I would imagine this is another 700 clone, so any stock for a 700 SA should work. I'm a fan of the Manners LRH. You can probably find them with the flush cups installed already.

Yes, Stillers are Rem 700 clones.

I imagine that if by chance it does fray out a bit, you could find some sort of rounded metal trim piece to cover it up and epoxy those in too.

I'd like to see your results. I think the Brad style drill bits are the ticket. I also wonder how a fostner bit would work?

I don't think the Forstner would work well, and you'd definitely need to put it in a drill press and clamp the stock.

Lemme get some pics.

A forstener but will make a much cleaner cut. I would still put painters take on the stock prior to drilling.

If you go to Grovtec’s website, they will tell you what size forstener but is required.

They also make attachments that intended for use on hollow stocks, which a lot of them are.
