Hi FN just browsing the forum and see your build. Lovely rifle! I have the same stock on mine I was wondering what barrel length and contour your running out of interest? All the bestView attachment 281451
Brock and Norris. Weighs in with full mag at 5.5kg. It's got some weight to it but it is wonderfully balanced.

If you are having issues with fit I would look at getting a lower scope mount setup. When birds can fly through the gap between the scope and the barrel it never makes for a wonderful shooter.View attachment 359350

The stock doesn't really fit me, but I bought this knowing that I've got a Vision Hybrid Chassis coming to drop the barreled action into.
Yeah the mount is a tad high but it's all exaggerated by the Stokes stock which is supposed to be designed for "women and children" or people of smaller stature.If you are having issues with fit I would look at getting a lower scope mount setup.
