Building my first dedicated F-Class rifle in 308
Gents, I'm going to post up the build progress of my first dedicated F-Class rifle. Here's how the specs should look:
Omark action
Lawton heavy varmint 1-12 308
F-class stock
Burris XTR Low rings
Weaver T-24 scope
Here's a pic of the stock in my BR rest and rear bag.
I will post a pic of the donor rifle in a bit. I will be shooting both F-Open and F/TR. I plan on running 155gr and 185gr in this rifle.
Let me know what your thoughts are gents.

Quick, it looks good to me and marine ply just means the laminations are glued together with a waterproof glue.
Get a short rail fitted to the bottom of the forestock so you can slide a bipod or a 3" wide plate in and you have FS, FO and F T/R covered. Looking at the photo, you might need to enlarge the barrel channel if you want to use a heavy barrel at some stage.
Good luck with the build!

Quick, One other thing I thought of is that you dont mention a trigger and a Davies trigger might be worth a look!

Thats one thing I have thought about, with the 6.5x47L I had half or just over half of the wind wound onto the scope on the weekend as the 308 shooters did. The drift obviously isnt as bad due to the slippery bullets but I find shooting the 308 and learning to get my wind holds right helps out more when using the open gun. A 4 or 5 in FS seems to get a 5 or 6 in FO. Getting them in the middle in FS means more X rings for me when using the 6.5. I reckon its a sound idea mate.

Brocko- these are available at the WARA shop or get in touch with Courtz Day on here as he and his father make them. They have a variety of styles they can do and different timbers as well. I have a new one sitting at home waiting for final inletting and bedding when my next barrel arrives. They make a good stock!

Brocko,
Its a nice stock mate. Well made too. It will probs get a lil atleration by myself and my mate but should come up really good I hope.
This is just to learn how to shoot a rifle "sliding" as I call it instead of of a bipod
Btw, anyone know where to get a anschutz forend rail from?
