Took my 284 win build to Colorado for 3rd rifle season. Put it through some tough days. Learning to deal with snow and ice is a new ball game for a guy from ky.

For those using the High Desert Bottom Metal with a Stocky's VG2 did you have to do any inletting to get it to fit?

 

[bojangles808]

It's great. I've had it for about 2 years now and the process for getting it was a real pain. Just dropped in the barreled action and torqued it up and has been shooting great. I've taken it on a spring bear hunt in Idaho and several whitetail hunts and it's been great. AG is taking orders for inletting now, which should make the process of getting one smoother...

I am intrigued by the Rokstock and may try one of those out for my other Tikka when orders open back up.

How long is the trigger reach on the alpine hunter?

About 1/8” shorter than the factory stock. Guess it looks short because it’s a 20” barrel.

Edit: Just under 16.5” from tip of the forend to the trigger.

16” 6.5 CM I put together recently. Sent off a factory stock had layin around to have it custom Cerakoted, pillared and over sized lugged it. Dead Catted the barrel channel for a much better free float as well. Picked up a cheap stainless factory sporter barrel on eBay of unknown history that had been shortened and threaded with a shitty lookin crown job. Had my buddy with Mad Man Muzzle Works in W. TX knock another 2” off it and then he beautifully threaded/recrowned it. Tryin some D3 Precision dovetail scope rings off EBay as well. Lightweight and use chromoly recoil lugs front and rear. Priced very nicely too, see how they hold up. Mtn Tactical bottom metal, SHV 3-10, and a SiCo Harvester. Weighed in about 7.5 lbs with a full mag, no can or bipod. Sucker shoots 127 gr LRXs about 2600 fps better than I could’ve hoped for. Very simple and seemingly effective for not a ton of money other than maybe the NF. Little rig bangs steel at 600 almost boringly.

It was a back room deal that I copied from someone else.
