Hey Guys

I just got a new rifle T3 varmint in 6.5x55, and I want to add some weight to the stock. The question is should the weight go in the forend or should I fill it through the butt pad opening or both.

Unless you are swinging it like a shotgun instead of using a bipod it really doesn't matter, you may slow down some hop if it is added in the front.

Shooting :D Shooting :D Shooting :D
 
Try an "echo can" on the end of the barrel. :p Nothing like a couple pounds of aluminum on the end of the barrel to stop that muzzle jump:D

See how the bolt fits first:p then see how well it is balanced. You may like more up front to stop the muzzle jump, but you don't want it so front heavy that you have to hold the back down to shoot.
 
Well the bolt does fit and cycles quite smoothly. The trigger is amazing considering its stock.
I added about 5lbs to the butt stock, without scope/rings & mounts, but with bipod its balanced right inbetween the trigger guard and magwell. There is plenty of room in the forend to add probably 1-2 lbs.

By the way Maynard I found my scope, just have to wait for the bases to come in and get everything all situated.

Syxx15 did design it, I just made it:cool:
It will cost more if you want to watch:D :D :D
And I triple the price if you feel the need to help:D :D :D
 
They are threaded on to the barrel. Syxx15's is naked but I'm sure a nice coat of flat black would have all the mall ninjas going ape $hit. Maynard can make anything, and Syxx can design everything so just ask for a quote and time frame.
