Awesome stuff!
I have a Savage target action RBRP, and was thinking of building a 338edge or 338 LapuaAI with it. Have you had any sort of issues running the edge with the target action?
 
Love em!

How about some story on the other two stocks. Never seen them before, are they blanks you finish yourself?

The other 2 stocks were inletted by a friend of mine who has all the equipment to do so. He also custom manufactured the mechanism for the ajustable cheekpiece. I used to do all the work from A to Z from a blank, but it's just so much faster and convenient to let someone with proper equipment do it. This way I can concentrate on external shaping, pillar glass bedding, sanding and final finishing.
