new boom stick

[dwighet 1]

Back late last year I decided I was in the "need" for a firearm that was well able to get me out too 800+ yds for some casual target shooting and also a bit of deer stalking aswell......I have been a big fan of the 300 win mag for a long time so off I went to Southern Rifle and Optics in Kilkenny armed with a HS precision varmint stock inletted for a long action rem 700 (that I purchased from Sean Harding at Stakelums Gun and Rod in Thurles) for a chat with John Greene(riflesmith) about my new project I had in mind....Well after a few hours of trading Ideas and many pots of coffee John was able to get into my head and see what I was after....

I got the call yesterday from John to Get my assss down to the shop as my new rifle is ready to go....Well When I arrived there it was sitting on the counter....I had a grin ear to ear.It is more than I expected..
