Finally got my g5 B&C stock,fit is PERFECT,drop in,the bedding block is outstanding,the adjustable front rail/sling stud is really neat.Waiting on my Badger bolt knob,1 piece rail and extended mag to arive on the 26th and it will be complete...for now....hope to have Kirby put the finishing touch on her this summer.Sticking with the AC?DC run I started with "Dirty Deeds" I named this old 8 mag that my father carried all over the world "Thunderstruck",it has killed most of the African antelope,griz in Alaska and Russia,countless Bull elk,a pile of big muleys,black bears and my best buck,hope to make my first 1000 yard kill with it ASAP!

keep us posted on how it works out for you.
Great lookin' piece NONYA. You'll have to let us know how it drives tacs when ya get it out.
so i have to pick your brain a little. you do a lot of long range shooting. [ honest question] not even so much this 8MM but say the .308. why are these gun the ones picked for long range shooting? all the books i read would say to build a 300 weatherby, or another weatherby caliber, or a wildcat round[ which there are way to many to list] but just to keep it simple. why do people build these long range guns in a .308 when a 300 wby is by far a flatter shooting gun?
