Welcome
I'm sure that like most of us the first trip led to another and another lol
This time my wife is accompanying me on my fifth her first will be a blast.
Love mine in 470NE only thing I needed was to get pull to 14 1/2 "
Now that it fits correctly it shoots 5/8" side by side shots at 50m
Just wish my eyesight was like it was 50 yrs ago lol
404 Jeffery not all that bad with 400 tsx at 2300fps very accurate and after shooting it from all positions including prone some 200 rounds. Worst position off of the bench bar none.
Buff at twenty yds eland at 200 yds absolutely love this old workhouse round it just works no fuss or muss...
Correct just be careful to get alignment for holes set before starting and mark depth you want on drill bit. Sounds like you have fitted pads before so you should have no problems. I glued mine on as I don't plan on removing it any time soon.
Yes we just pulled the pieces out of stock filled with wood dowels glued them in and drilled pilot holes for pad then mercury or lead tubes holes to correct depth.
I work at Corlane sporting goods so I know the gunsmiths are very capable and do very good work.
Rifle in avatar is a Winchester 70...
There is enough wood to put in tubes but old pad is put on with steel pins that must be cut with saw. (No screw heads) I had gunshop do it install tube 7/8 x5" and glue screw limbsaver pad in place and grind to fit. 14.25" length of pull
Recoil reduced and balance perfect for me when brought up...
Stock was short for me so had to cut old recoilpad off ( it's held on by steel pins not screws) while apart used one mercury tube balanced perfectly shoots like a dream. Recoil heavy enough that steel face of mag box needed to be slightly beveled so second and third rounds feed smoothly. It is...
Built the one in avatar from a 416 Rem mag rebarreled to 404 when you do mag box grind off two projections on sidewall holds 3down no other mods needed

It is a great resource and has stood be it good stead on four trips so far..
Planning 5th trip and I regularly reread to make sure I can feel confident of a well placed shot each time. No guessing he did a superbly good job in depicting vitals placement in game..
