That’s got more wood than the inside of a log, I’m assuming you also made the front rest from the same timber? Did you laminate in a press? I’ve often considered black wattle for a stock, makes great shovel handles

Don't forget Kirra's great scores on this rifle also.
Hopefully you will all come down next month to shoot at the Cairns OPM.
Cheers

That stock should tame the 223 recoil really well :)
