Boats,

Does the ASSRA have rules that do not permit Contender and Encore actions?  The barrel rule should not be a big problem as Bullberry will make a 30" barrel.  They did not say that was their limit just that they would make one that long.  The stocks are pretty cheap and one could take one and cut and glue some extra wood to get a prototype, then have someone make a pretty one.  I am still leaning towards the Encore as it is a bit bigger and will take a bigger diameter barrel.  There is a rimfire adapter for the Encore as well.

Thanks Dale,

I was getting a bit confused.

Good morning, Boats;

The site I was looking at is (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links); They are not schuetzen stocks per se, but the two thumb holers have a lot more cheek piece than most stocks.  In walnut, they are only about $45.  For that you could give one the bondo treatment and then cut what you want.

Y'all be good.

Mr. Hoss Fly,

Thanks for that link...pretty neat li'l site.  Folks might also be interested to know that he's got patterns for several other single shot rifles...just have to dig around a bit to find them.

I think, that for my use, the "roll over" cheekpiece pattern will suffice.  Just add my favorite hooked buttplate, a little bit of rasping, and I think it'll be just dandy.  Time to get serious about finding a barrel, now.

PS...here's a link for Match Grade Machine, another possible barrel source.  They ain't cheap, but they start with Shilen blanks.  As long as you don't want fluting, muzzlebreaks, and those sorts of things, I guess the prices aren't too bad.
