Canadian F-TR Rifle in Dolphin Aluminum Chassis from UK
Canadian Fred Harvey of Star Shooter Precision recently posted photos of an interesting metal-stocked F-TR rifle, fitted with a Star Shooter CF-SS Bipod with carbon-fiber legs. This handsome .308 Winchester rifle features a Barnard S action, 30″ Krieger barrel (1:11.25″ twist), and aluminum stock/chassis from Dolphin Gun Company in the UK.
The all-up weight of this rig, including the Star Shooter bipod and mounting rail is 17 pounds, 15 ounces. (F-TR weight limit is 8.25 kgs, approx. 18.15 pounds). Gunsmith was Ian Robertson.
Dolphin Gun Company Aluminum F-TR/Tactical Rifle Stock
Dolphin’s modular, CNC-crafted F-TR/Tactical stocks are fully adjustable. Fore-ends are interchangeable and the pistol grip even adjusts for length of pull. Dolphin offers single shot and repeater inlets for Rem 700-style actions, Barnard S & SM actions, RPA Quadlite actions, plus BAT VR and Savage actions. Three types of fore-ends are available: short tactical style, long F-TR style, and a wide F-Open style. Repeater versions accept AI magazines. Dolphin claims the repeaters “feed faultlessly with any action fitted”. The aluminum Dolphin F-TR/Tactical stock comes with an adjustable buttplate fitted with Morgan Recoil pad. The bag-rider height also adjusts. These stocks sell for £630 (about $960 USD) with either Dura-coat or hard-anodized finish. A variety of anodizing colors are offered.

I have an F/TR rifle too using a Dolphin stock, in my case inletted for the Savage 12 PTA single-shot action. It works very well and is reasonably light.
One key item missing from the above description is the provision of a height adjustable buttplate / rear bag-rider. Look at the blue anodized rifle at the bottom of the photos. There are two Allen-headed setscrews visible sitting in a vertical slot in the assembly. Slacken them off when setting up on the range with the bi-pod set to give maximum stability and the four inches or so of vertical adjustment at the rear means you’ll invariably manage to point at the target irrespective of the firing line to butts relationship. Likewise, you should be able to get set up for what’s a comfortable rifle height for your shooting style irrespective of whether you prefer high or low positions.
Tim Stewart who won the F/TR division in last November’s annual European Championship event at Bisley also uses a Dolphin stock + Barnard S combination. Mik Maksimovich (Mik-Mak as he’s widely known) prtner in the Dolphin Gun Co. is a keen F-Class competitor, founded the GB F-Class Association, and also builds rifles including Tim’s as well as manufacturing stocks and bi-pods.
Dose anyone in Canada or the U.S. sale the Dolphin stocks or import them ?
