Personal Best 50 Yards With 12 FPE Springer

Awesome rifle, awesome marksmanship!! I'm with Flintstack on this one.
IMO, it's like shooting a hole in one on the golf course. Every aspect of the shot just comes together perfectly.
It would be interesting to measure how much mental energy it takes to shoot a group like that...the level of concentration. I'd be willing to say it's equivalent to playing a game of chess.
Great shooting!!

A man that can do that with a Springer can shoot one hole all day long with a PCP.. if the PCP will do it, there are plenty that won't.
You knew that right?

My understanding is that it is a Nick Jenkinson stock. I'm not sure if he was the actual builder or only the designer. It is Claro Walnut which grows only here in northern California. That tree has had a lot of miles on it to end up right back home.
Steve Vines may have more info.

Good morning Lewis -
Actually a gentleman named John Deaderich(spelling?) made the stock, and am sorry to say I have lost contact with him.
Forum member Spysir turned me onto him years ago.
Nick Jenkinson designed the stock on the TX I traded to you, and he also hand picked both actions you now posses, one for Roz and the other for the former owner.
Dave Slade has the HW100 I got from you, he's delivering it to Martin of RAW to install an accessory rail.
BTW, the TX I sold you has a name just in case you haven't re-christened her.
Rocinante'
GREAT SHOOTING BREAUX!!!

Wow.
Thank you Steve. It's great to have more of the history on these guns. I love them! I had to look up Rocinante', Don Quixote's horse, PERFECT. I certainly won't be changing that!
Let me know how the HW100 turns out when you get it back.

Will report back when the Hw 100 is back in hand -
BTW - I imagine other forum members got a chuckle when you referred to me as a "legend" - you are way too kind.
As was pointed out to me, I'm just one of the "locals"
Now Roz certainly qualifies, but not me lol - I've just been lucky enough to rub elbows with the legends that have attended GOB matches.
Take care,
Vines

Far too modest. You certainly qualify. Anyone who has won national level events is a hall of famer in my book!

Custom Stocks UK also makes a lefty Field Target stock at a reasonable cost.
Warren Edwards, Steve Corcoran, and Mike Abernathy are all masters at their craft as well.
