Exotic Wood F-Open Rig for the F-Class World Championships
Gunsmith Thomas “Speedy” Gonzalez recently completed a stunning new F-Open rig for a customer competing at the 2017 F-Class World Championships held at the Connaught Ranges in Ottawa, Canada.
The special laminated fancy wood stock was crafted by Will McCloskey of Cerus Rifleworks. Cerus mills its stocks with a super-precise, computer-controlled CNC machine. This provides ultra-exact dimensions/geometry for superior tracking. This stock features carbon upgrades — a carbon fiber bedding block and carbon fiber forearm tunnel. Speedy tells us: “The Borden action is conventionally bedded, then glued-in as per our benchrest rifles in order for the stock and barreled action to function as one unit. This feature also eliminates the possiblity of moisture entering into the receiver’s bedding area in a rain or high moisture event.”
The stock is made from multiple layers of exotic and fancy woods. On the outside is Bocote, a super-dense (extra heavy) exotic from Central America. Next comes Birds-eye Maple, while the core (centerline) layer is Wenge wood. Strengthening the laminate are carbon fiber stringers. A stock like this can be purchased for $799.00 plus $100 for the exotic wood upgrades.

Editor: The Cerus site has lots of images, but it can be very slow to load because there are videos running in the background. Try waiting a minute or more for the site to load, then scroll down. It may also work better with a mobile platform as some of the graphics will be disabled.

That’s a beauty, Will.

That is a beautiful setup. Top notch all around.
Question. Is the trigger cutout enlarged so the shooter can swap triggers if there is a problem?
Updating website today to hopefully load faster.
Tons of pics available to view on our Facebook page.
Thanks Accurateshooter!

Yessir…trigger cutout is large enough to remove trigger should you need to.
Yessir… the trigger cutout is enlarged as to allow access to remove the trigger with just first removing the trigger guard.
Who makes the rear bag? thanks, RJ
It’s a SEB bigfoot bag
