F-Class Beauty from KW Precision LLC
Forum member Keith W. (aka “Cigarcop”) of KW Precision LLC is a talented riflesmith whose projects display outstanding finish work and attention to detail. Keith does some of the best bedding work we’ve ever seen. Here is one of his latest creations. Keith recently completed a stunning F-Class rig for a shooter in Delaware. It’s a beauty, that’s for sure. Keith has posted more details about this rifle in a Shooters’ Forum Thread.
This handsome rifle features a polished Stolle (Kelbly) Panda Action, and two (2) Brux barrels, both chambered for the .284 Winchester cartridge. The real eye-catching component of this rifle is the stunning Cerus F-Open stock. This features multiple laminations with highly-figured Walnut on the sides. This certainly ain’t your “off-the-shelf” laminated stock. This just shows the beauty that can be achieved with carefully-chosen lamination layers (plus 12 coats of clear).
This beautiful F-Open rig features a laminated wood stock with stunning figured walnut on the outside.
Keith of KW Precision LLC is renowned for his bedding work, and this rifle shows why. Keith takes great pride in his work, and his attention to detail is second to none. This bedding job is as good as it gets.
Bringing out the figure in the wood requires multiple finish coats (and careful sanding between coats). But the results are worth it. Shown below is the Cerus stock, BEFORE the finish coats were applied. It took time and effort to transform the “naked” Cerus stock into a true stunner. Keith applied twelve (12) coats of PPG Automotive Clear with wet sanding between each coat.

Fantastic looking rifle. Maybe the cleanest Bedding Job i´ve ever seen. If it shoota as good as it looks, it´s an absolute winner.
Took my KWPrecision rifle to the range for break in today. Some of the comments were: “thats the most beautiful rifle I’ve ever seen”, “that gun belongs in the museum”, “that is a thorobred” and my favorite; “I’ll give you $35 bucks for that!” Rifle chambered, inletted, bedded, painted and clear coated by Keith Weil.
Even if that rifle prints shotgun patterns it would be the pride of my collection.
There might be an equal out there somewhere, but none better than KW Precision.
