Limbsaver and KickEez both make pads big enough for the Coil-Chek if you need a new one.

Is that an A-Square Hannibal? Looks like a Model 1917 action, pistol grip is sharp like a Coil-Chek, and the butt looks kind of big. I'm building a .460 right now that will be a Hannibal clone. Got a Coil-Chek stock from MPI stocks and have a 16 ounce and 12 ounce mercury recoil reducer in...

That's terrible. I just got scammed out of $5k by a guy who was supposed to be a hot tub/swim spa technician. I did some work on mine and got into a scrape where I just needed help. Found this guy online. He comes out, goes over it all with me, actually did find a lot of stuff wrong with it...

My dad has a really old .300 H&H. I believe it is a Model 721 Remington. I'm not sure the year of manufacture. I guess before the Model 700 came out. He sold it to his buddy before I was born in the mid 60's and told him "When you're done with it, I want to buy it back." Well he bought it...

I use the 91.5gr of RL-22 in mine. I have a longer than standard barrel and get quite a bit more velocity than this. Chronographed 2885 and 2889 ft/s with a 300gr. For some reason the image is sideways, but it opens right side up when I click on it.... This is from A-Square's manual.

I'm a big believer in the A-Square Coil-Chek stock. I built my first rifle on a M1917 action with this stock in .375 Weatherby. It's got a long barrel and I chronographed it (on edit, a 300gr...that's all I shoot out of it) at 2889 ft/s. That's about 5560 ft-lbs of energy, so no slouch. I...

My home built .375 Weatherby does 2889 ft/s with a 300gr. I chronographed it. Long barrel. I throated it for a 350 and still left 3/8" of freebore. I've yet to load some 350's. Want to try them. Not sure what velocity I could get....maybe 2750 ft/s? That would be a real hammer. To date...

I have a Model 70 Featherweight in 7mm-08 with a Leupold VX-5HD 2-10 on it. It's a sweet little rig. I've not dropped any Bambi's with it yet though.... I have two curly maple stocked Model 70 Super Grades, one in .264 Win Mag (my favorite) and one in .270 Win, that have each smoked Bambi's...

Hi Rok, I basically wanted an A-Square Hannibal but couldn't find one, so did a clone. I like it a lot. Still haven't been over to Africa yet :(

I like my M1917 Enfield .375 Weatherby. She does 2889 ft/s with a 300 gr. Need to get my butt over to Africa and get a Dagga Boy with it! Having a .460 Weatherby built right now also with an A-Square stock....

I looked hard at that one too, but decided to just do a .460 Weatherby on an Enfield Model 1917 action. Still in the works....

I zeroed my .375 Weatherby at 80 yards because that's how long my range is. Would have used 100 if I could get it. Need to clear some trees...

MPI stocks in Oregon (Actually I believe they've moved to Vancouver across the river now...) will do you a full custom. Takes a while....and it's not a drop in. But they can finish it rough and your local gunsmith can finish it (you could if you're handier than me) or you can send them the...
