[QUOTE="Topstrap, post: 1252921, member: 26825"] Last year I made a billet aluminum stock for my Anschutz Exemplar. Not the most cosmetically pleasing stock ever created but it really made the Exemplar a lot easier to shoot at our local longrange rimfire matches using bipods or bags off a bench and compete against the rifle guys. There are a lot of the Exemplars still out there and with IHMSA silhouette about dead these guns haven't seen much use. The original wooden stock just wasn't designed for use off a bench but shooting creedmore is really shined. We've been running longrange rimfire steel plate matches here in Eastern Ohio from 25 yards out to 200 yards at my range, a buddies range and even out to 350 yards at Taylors Paradise. They easily hold their own against the higher end rifles. I helped (well, gave my thoughts anyway) Randy Wise and Joe Updike come up with a chassis design for our longrange centerfire pistols which was the Gen I and he's modified the original design and now makes them for nearly all the centerfire actions for both pistols and rifles. His company is called Accurate Rifle Systems.
