Stock drilling for sling stud

[Gudge]

I have a near perfect profile Skelton stock, took me a long time to find it. No cutouts or mods in any way and lovely grain.  I just cannot get myself to drill it for a rear sling mount, is there and other way to attach the rear sling?  Thanks

This will change the Length of Pull( Stock Length)
Add a spacer plate between the Butt-Pad and stock.
Thick enough to accomodate the  sling Stud!

Good Luck,
Stuart

Thanks, that is a neat idea, I will give it a go.
Cheers

Have a look here. Jon will also make them with a adjustable butt pad machined to match.

Hi Gudge,

I spoke to Dr Bob about this idea a while back and im sure he will in time have a order of these to suit most rapids.

Yes it's on the list for 2021 along with the 7 shot mag for both the Rapid and SLR.
