Wanted - New F Class Stock

#1 Postby bobped » Wed Jun 24, 2020 5:11 pm

I've decided to treat myself to a new Stock for my F Standard Barnard Rifle.
Basically I think I'm bored with the old one.
I have a hankering to play with one of the fancy modular stocks which seem to adjust every which way, but I'm also partial to a nice wooden one as well.

Can anyone come up with suggestions please and point me in the right directions.
Prefer something I can get in Australia, where I can order it, plonk my rifle in it, and get shooting ASAP.

Cheers
Bob Pedersen

Hi Bob

I have recently dropped my Barnard P into a Dima RS F-open stock.

They are being imported as a flat top blank by Rob Valeri who is based in Griffith NSW.

Mine is a laminate of Wenge, Walnut, Maple and Paduak and is aesthetically very nice as well as being very very straight.

I haven’t quite finished the stock yet (up to coat 5 of wipe on poly) so I haven’t yet got any nice finished photos. But I do have a small vid of how well it tracks shooting my 300WSM with 215’s running around 2940fps (I’ll link it below). My previous stock was a Noye MBR and is a nice tracking stock, the Dima is a step ahead for sure. I think for shooting off a pedestal rest either a nice laminated stock or a McMillan is your best bet.

I use a crappy log wooden thumbhole stock with a butt that is adjustable for length, height and tilt. It's OK and has served me well but I do fancy something more exotic. I fancy a change.

Bob, have you thought about a Mcintosh. I think they primarily a t/r stock, but I beleive that you can get the for end parts to make it an f class stock. Really nice aussie stock, fully adjustable.

Hi Bob,

I can definitely recommend speaking with Ken Noye regarding a stock. We run 3 of his thumbhole stocks at the moment (with another one in reserve), and they've been fantastic. Additionally, he can customize, adjust and even clone as necessary to get the best outcome for you.
