 I don't know where I got it, but it seemed to fit.
 Glad you took it the right way, Bud!
 
 
 
 Oh , while I have your attention, I think the Remington in your sig line is a Scoremaster, not Scopemaster. Just thought somebody would have pointed that out by now.
 You have some nice firearms, my friend!

 Paul Lynde was a scream.  The quickest wit ever.
 There was once a question posed to him on one of those shows: "Which is pregnant for a longer period of time, your wife or your elephant?"
 
 Paul replied instantly and indignantly-
 "WHO TOLD YOU ABOUT MY ELEPHANT??!!"
 
 I laugh out loud whenever I think of that.

Thanks Luc, I do what I can with what I got.  I think my stock is too short for me but can't afford to get  a custom.  If I had a wheelbarrel of money I'd you get a custom sized one or five heh heh heh Bandito
 
We have an abundace of groundhogs around here.  I want to work up a varmint load an offer my services to local farmers.  I find it amazing... groundhogs are too stupid to dodge cars but won't let a human within 100 yds.  Maybe doing that  would open some doors for deer hunting.   Most farmers don't want to let stranges hunt their land around here.

budperm, why do you think the stock is too short?  Your groups show no real indication of that.  If it is really too short, you should show a tendency to group to the right of your actual POA.  There are some fairly simple Q&D formulae for determining a ROM length of pull estimate, then there is the complex science for benchrest shooters.

Haven't really researched Sierra bullets... What's so special about them?
I originally set my sights on Hornady SSTs because I wanted a bullet that would perform well at the range and hunting.  SSTs with their poly ballistic tip and boat tail seem to be just the ticket and at $25 per 100 reasonible.  I started with Nosler BTs simply because they were available an a close copy of the SSTs ballistically.
 
Both Grafs and competitor just restocked 130gr ssts in 277
 
 
Hey Bud. I've started loading SST's now, but in 140 gr. I think they will shoot well too, and with a B.C. like they have should be very deadly, even way out there. They outrun the Winchesters I was shooting by 300 yards, and start off 150 fps slower. They are a long bullet though. If your gun likes to have bullets seated near the lands, you may not make it due to magazine constrictions. I ran in to that myself.

Yeah, I am loading 140gr SSTs right now too.  Starting with H4831SC 5ea of 57.5, 58.0, 58.5, 59.0gr.  Once I have dialed in 31SC I'll start with RE17.  My Chrony should be here this week, so I 'll be able to get some hard numbers.

I had to go the cheap route, went with an F-1 Chrony for $79.95 delivered.

eeeh eeem.
[/QUOTE]  Sorry guys, missed this question.
 
Well truth be told I know nothing about sizing a rifle stock.  I do know that I am a little on the oversized side of things... 6'2" 280#+ and 38" long arms.  Fairly broad shouldered.   Usually it is my arm length that gives me troubles. 
 
For instance, I was chunking for yellowfin tuna with some friends off Ocean City, MD.  I hooked into a 50# tuna and it KICKED my butt!  I was trying to hold the pole by the handle.  This meant that with my long arms  I was fighting the tuna with my biceps and small of my back.  It was embarassing!  My buddies laughed and made fun of me, after all it was only a 50# fish.
The Captain of the charter pulled me aside and told me to lock my arms out straight next time.  I said that if I did that I would be holding the pole just behind the 2nd eyelet from the tip.  He said not to worry about the Tuna stick (Pole) it would survive.  Next hook-up I did what he said and the difference was completely amazing.  I had no trouble at all fighting and landing the tuna (another 50#er).
 
I have always felt more comfortable with a longer stock and barrel.  One of these days I need to research more on how to proper fit a rifle. You guys know of any websites or books on hthe subject???
