Has anybody put a Phar stokked rifle in the NRA jig?

I was told at a local match last week that this stock was designed for hunting rifles and took advantage of the fact that the hunting rifle didn't have to fit in "the jig". With the rule change this year, it was suggested that a lot of rifles might get rejected.

I guess that anyone who has shot a Pharr stocked 1712 in the standard class at any previous national events has put it in "the jig". I have heard that the only problem would be if someone had the barrelled action bedded "extra deep" into the stock. This would mean that the centerline of the barrell would be below the comb of the stock. I think that's what might keep one from fitting the jig.

OK GUYS
Here is the straight pup.
The Parr hunter class RT/S stock was designed, and build before the NRA came up with the new rule about fitting a jig. The RT, or the RT/S stocks comply with all existing NRA rules. The people out there inletting the RT/S stocks, have to be carefull how deep the action is inletted. This is due to the fact that the comb on the RT/S is about 1/4" higher than the original RT stock.
If the work is done by a compatible gunsmith that is familiar with this stocks, there should not be any problem fitting into the NEW JIG.
Actually the biggest problem fitting the new jig, is the distance ( dimension ) from the center line of the bore to the heal of the butt pad, Anything longer than 15" pull would not have fit the original jig.
I have letters from the NRA rules HONCHOS, saying that the jig will be modify to accept Parr RT/S stocks up to about 15 1/2" pull.
What I am trying to say in plain words, WHEN YOU LOOK DOWN THE BORE, AND YOU CAN SEE DAYLIGHT THRU IT, IS LEGAL.
Do not be concerned with your present Parr stock guns, as I stated before, if they were fitted by the right person, they are all legal, OF COURSE THEY STILL HAVE TO MAKE THE WEIGHT LIMIT.

I take it that my stock 1712 in walnut will fit the jig just fine?

Kevin,
I am confused by your post, What are you trying to say?????
What is your point ????

kevinpagano · Post by **kevinpagano** » Thu Mar 08, 2007 8:37 pm

I have a 1712 that has a factory walnut stock. I was asking if this will fit the jig, since I have not even seen a picture of the jig. I was assuming that this is correct.

Thanks Evilio.

I was also asking advice for a purchase of a weight scale that is accurate so I can make sure my rifle will make weight. I know that I am close with my bushnell 4200 scope at over 20 oz.

Sorry it has been a long week and I still have jet lag from returning from Hawaii.

Congratulations on your new purchase, I am pretty sure you will be happy.
By the way, I never shot the Nationals in Ridgeway, but I did shoot in the last 3 Nationals in Raton, and they never used the JIG neither for smallbore or high power, I guess somebody out there got beaten by a rifle with a Parr stock, and now they are bitching on weather they are legal or not.
But I tell you in my opinion, you can hand a decent rifle to Troy, Zanders, Katty, Motl, Massey, or any of the other great shooters out there, and they will still shoot winning scores.

Kevin,
You should not have any problem making weight with your present factory stock, even with the BUSH. 4200 on it, several of the guys in my club are using them and they all make weight.
There is one small electronic scale out there that is very accurate, but I can't think of the brand name. STS BUYER, help me out.

Kevin,
I have a digital UltraShip 35. http://www.saveonscales.com/digital_pos ... s.htmlIt's very accurate and won't cost you too much. It's about $40. I've tested it with known weights plus at a business that has certified scales.
I also made up a standard #5 lb. test weight that I keep in the box to recheck the calibration. It measures in lb, lb.oz, or grams.
That being said I would always have my guns at least 2 oz or less than the legal weight. There no reason to be right on and have problems with the officials even though you say the gun has been weighed on certified scales.
