Re: Rhineland Arms Leapord Stock
Ok here we go....I ordered this one un finished, he had to re sand it because the finish wasn't up to par and I am going to paint it anyways so I didn't care...the area that has finish looks very nice and if I was going to run it walnut it would look great.
The adjustable parts are very good quality and we will see how they work over time, now I just have to wait to build up my 10/22 to work in it. These would work great with the Kidd recievers that have the rear tang on the action to hold the action to the stock. I will need to put a pillar in the front action screw hole before I use the stock with the factory Ruger reciever, and it will probably need bedded, my plan is to buy the Kidd reciever that is threaded and have the barrel threaded so that it will support the whole barreled action in the stock, to eliminate the v-block barrel droop problems. The stock has 3 threaded plugs in the forend for bipod and rails and such. The stock comb is high enough that you will not be able to use the open iron sights anymore. The cheek piece screws can be run on both sides.
Now for pics, remember this is a sanded un finished stock but that is how I wanted it.

Re: Rhineland Arms Leapord Stock
Just played with it and mounted my 10/22 in the stock and the little aluminum block in the rear tang actually holds down on the trigger housing and forces the rear of the action down into the stock....very slick and holds the action very solidly.

Re: Rhineland Arms Leapord Stock
I just ordered 2 of these with the ultra grip. Cant beat that price. Nice cheap solution to the AW trainer with mags.

Re: Rhineland Arms Leapord Stock
Glad to see Rhineland Arms back again. They made some fine rifles before they stopped production, good they are making some nice stocks now.

Well are you looking for Penolpee Pitstop? Yes the cheek adjust screws can be run on wither side....the 10/22 does not come in LH so that is about as LH as you can get.....I haven't measured LOP yet but whey you get it real long it is a little flexy...the bottom shaft is all that is held tight....I might find a pillar and drill out the top hole so that the top stud is a tighter fit and that may take away the slop....if I need the extra LOP....I probably will.

Re: Rhineland Arms Leapord Stock
With the cheekpiece on this stock I would recommend running high rings....not enough with Low Burris signature rings. I can get a decent sight picture but it still is shaded on the bottom of the scope.
Also an extended mag release is handy, here is the $5 Bell and Carlson release, it is great and but it is plastic but it isn't a heavy duty application....there is also the Volquerston auto-bolt release visable.
The Bell and Carlson release just barely protrudes from the stock.
