Long shot but has anyone got one of these to hand? Preferably in 270 but any is good. I have some measuremts I'd like if someone can help.
I have one, in 7x57 Mauser, with open sights, 23.6 inch ( 600 mm ) barrel, and a thick recoil pad, like the Pachmayr Decelerator.
Let's see if I can explain this without photos. Measuring the width of the wood, across the flats, outside to outside:
Just ahead of the action 1.5 inches
Just ahead of the rear sight boss: 1.25 inches
Just before the round end of the forend: 1.0 inch
Barrel channel width, at the same points:
Just ahead of the action 1 1/6 inches
Just ahead of the rear sight boss: .75 inches
Just before the round end of the forend: 0.75 inch
So you can see that the stock is pretty slim.
