I'm guessing it's not too hard to in stocks inleted for Lithgows over there?

I can't remember of you have any CZ 457s, would the Lithgow offer any advantages over the CZ?
The lack of stock/chassis options makes its hard to look past the boring CZ, Tikka R700 options.

Did you test it? Does it group well?

No, I didn’t shoot for groups. Steel targets.

Making sure my mic is working here...Up top, any offers?

Mine lands squarely in the lucky shot category. In the 60's, in Myrtle Creek, Oregon when I was about eight years old. After BB gun experience since I was four, I had recently graduated to my very own Ithaca M49 lever action single shot .22. After plenty of safety training with my Dad and target practice, my Mom would drive me out to a spot in the woods, and I'd hike and shoot several miles back home. I pretty much killed more ground squirrels than the plague back then. Once walking an old logging road, next to a creek in the bottom of a steep canyon that had been clear-cut some years before, I spied a lone crow, in the top of a tall snag, at the peak of the tall ridge overlooking the canyon. It was a looong way away, steeply uphill, but I figured what the heck. I raised the front sight in my aim, far above the rear sight notch, aimed as hard as I knew how, and fired. After a moment of "oh well", the bird dropped straight down dead. I couldn't believe it! I had to hike up there to see if I really hit it. It was steep and it took me most of the morning to get up there, but there it was at the base of the snag. It was larger than I expected a crow to be. I stopped at that same spot several times and pondered at length at how far that shot really was. I eventually resorted to topo maps, protractors and such. My best honest estimate after much deliberation was certainly well over 400 yards. Possibly over 500. I had no business shooting that far! However I'm sure proud of that lucky shot. In all the years of golf I played, one shot stood out, a 6-iron on an uphill fairway lie. The sweetest most effortless hit, far more distance than I was used to. That sudden flood of euphoria brought back that same feeling from the shot I made when I was eight years old. Someday I'll go back to Oregon, take my rangefinder, and see if I can find that same spot, and something of similar distance to where that snag was. I still have a few years left in me to find out for sure. Of all the shooting and hunting I've done over the years, that shot was the most memorable.

She needs a whip! JMO!

Wait, so we are finally going to have people out of work that are willing to fill all those “shovel ready” jobs the democrats and Obama were frequently talking about years ago?

I find that cartridge quality is my problem,
not the rifle.

My expectations are:

center to center measurement
shooting off the bench

0.4 inches at 50 yards
1.3 inches at 100 yards
4 inches at 200 yards

That'd be an entire box of cartridges, 22lr,
on a really good day, with extremely good ammo.

My reality is:

0.6 inches at 50 yards
1.8 inches at 100 yards
4.5 to 6 inches at 200 yards

50 consecutive shots

Chrome should be standard like Mr. Stoner intended. It really is the best.

It would be interesting to hear why they switched to phosphate.

Mount gone... Let's get others gone.

Still available.

9mm? Or 10mm?

If you are having accuracy issues, check to see if the rounds are getting shaved when feeding. A friend has one and shot BAD!!!!!! So I went out with him one day and was watching him shoot. I could not see him making any bad issues when shooting. As I was standing there talking to him I looked down into the gun and there were slivers all over in the action.

It was shaving the bullets asit fed into the action. So I had him single load by dropping the round into the chamber. He shot 1/2" groups over and over. So now we are going to have to fix the issue. but We have not met back up to actually what can be done. I told him the easiest would be a single shot feeder.

A number of years ago I was in Texas helping their hog invasion. I had taken a 30 x 44 rifle that started life as a hunter rifle benchrest gun. The fellows and I had taken a few hogs and decided to make a gut pile a ways from the trailer we were staying in. We drove down the side of a wash out on a two track and eventually dumped 5 or 6 tree size plastic planter buckets of entrails and hides in a pile. That evening they dropped me off at a blind on the other side of the washout. Far enough away that when vultures landed on the pile we had put out earlier I could not see them even with 10 binos. While scanning the pile I caught movement wyle coyote trotting down the two track on the far side from me headed for the pile. Turned my scope all the way up, stuck the gun out the window, lead by two mil dots, held over by one touched it off. Lost eye relief, re-qgained it just as the swack was heard. Couple hours later when they came to pick me up they said that the they heard me shoot. I said I shot a coyote over by the guy pile, shared the aforementioned story. They all scoffed no way that's pretty far off. So we drove around the washout the whole way they kept saying no way you hit anything over that far but after 5-8 minutes of their taunting we got over to the pile and there the coyote was mangy but dead 30 ' from his fill of internal organs. Later we figured it was about 450 yards. After a couple victory beers I told them how lucky that shot was. Remington 78 trued by Jim Borden rock creek 14 twist barrel, Larry Smart drilled in radial brake, 125 nosler BT, 39 gr H-322, jewel trigger, Leupold 3-10 tactical mil dot reticle target turrets. Still use that gun & have loaned it to a young lady on my road to use for deer.
Unfortunately one of the special fellas that took me hunting there Danny has passed. Thank you for promoting me to look through the photos of that hunt and the fond memories. God bless.

You said it started as a Fender Strat? If you will notice, the cutout in the body on the bottom side of the neck extends all the way back to the 21st fret. Your body/neck intersection stops at the 15th. Either way, nobody’s playing anything above the 15th on your design. I’m not saying that’s unacceptable, it’s just the trade off you made, esthetics vs playability. All those frets above 15 (maybe 16 or 17) are unusable.

Bump. Forgot about this for a while. Sill have a bunch.
