i was hoping to find some cool diy ideas thats ive googled all day just figured id ask
I have seen some DIY's stickies on other forums that are really good. If you have not already looked. If you can't find any let me know. Youtube as well.
ive been youtubing as well but the are all kinda ghetto or the kydex kind which is what i might make if i can find kydex cheap enough
Is 3.76 plus shipping cheap enough. I may have an extra sheet but shipping would eat us up.

I made one for my Mark II from some 3" PVC. I slit the pipe and flattened it in the oven, then cut out the pattern I wanted, reheated and molded it to the shape of the stock.

Would everyone please welcome our newest Savage Axis addict.....
He even works on his rifle in the kitchen. On the table, too.
Yup, you're going to fit right in here.....
Looking good.
thanx man i am hooked and work on it when ever i can lol
I started with a cheek rest and have now rebuilt the entire rifle!
I just put a SSS fluted bolt body to finish it. The only thing I haven't changed is the action itself!

(PS - The hole wasn't from the chainsaw.)
I did it in the garage because I built the tables there myself!

Looks good, kid.
Again, with the kitchen table, eh?
You really ought to consider a bench. The bench is sacred to men that make their own projects especially guns & reloading. If you work on guns in the kitchen - AT the table, this automatically gives the wife permission to fold laundry on your bench. Maybe even set up a sewing machine on your bench.
If word gets out your man card may be suspended.
lol i have a bench but its 2 miles up the road at my shop did most the work there but needed the oven to heat and shape the rest
here she is with the new scope mounted!!!

To clean the rifle I just pull the neoprene forward and remove the rest, clean, retape. I use electrical tape and it holds nicely.
New design is a 1" wood dowel cut and shaped, then pinned. The pins go into the top of the stock which has holes drilled. No taping. Neoprene is still used. It is really comfy on the cheek.

i'm getting ready to order a Karstens cheek rest http://www.karstenskydexcheekrest.com/
Check out "tactical works" I picked up a "blemished" model that looks just fine for $40 rather than paying $60.Quote:

Well, its true & the guy at Southwest sent me a new hardware kit & even paid return postage on the old stuff. The kit even comes with drill bit, allen wrenches & instructions even I could understand.
Why pay more?
