Black Walnut and Carbon Rimfire BR Stock from Ireland
Our Irish Friend Enda Walsh has been working overtime on a new project, and it’s a beauty. Enda has produced some stunning wood stocks for long-range F-Class applications, and now he’s come up with a new design for the short-range rimfire game. Enda’s new stock combines an ergonomic, prone-style grip area with a stiff, carbon-reinforced fore-end. The very front of the stock features “winglets” for smooth bag-riding. Believe it or not, this stock weighs under two pounds!
Enda tells us: “This Benchrest stock was the most time-consuming job I’ve done in a while as there was a two-pound weight limit. I used black walnut and carbon fiber to achieve a very strong yet lightweight stock. The stock features a lacquer finish and the .22LR Anschütz action was pillar-bedded into the stock. I’m delighted to have ended up with a stock weight of one pound, 15 ounces.”

At (minus) two pounds, thumb hole style & hard wood, that’s a great designed, well executed stock! Great job Enda!!!
Only curios…thin walled w/ some cavity inside?
I did not notice it’s for rimfire (I thought it’s an F-Class stock), but it’s STILL a great job!
