Design
by Major John Plaster, who is a highly regarded authority on sniping and
sniping equipment. The Ultimate Sniper is built of DuPont Rynite SST-35
polymer.
The Rynite is injection-molded around a precision machined aluminum bedding block that provides drop-in installation for the Savage Model 110FP or the Remington 700 short or long actions, and the currently produced Winchester Model 70. The action is rigidly held by the aluminum bedding block, the barrel floats freely, even with the installation of a suppressor, the stock features a thick rubber recoil pad that has five height adjustments. Removable spacers enable increasing the length of pull from 13.25 inches (33.7 cm) in 0.25 inch (6 mm) increments. A removable knob at the rear bottom of the stock can be used for fine elevation adjustments and an angular ramp inside the cutout stock is superbly engineer for holding the stock into the shoulder with the non-firing hand. The top of the forestock has a 1.25 inch (3.2 cm) barrel channel and four tie-down slots for attaching camouflage. The 2.38 inch (6.0 cm) wide bottom of the forestock is angled to enable easy height adjustment and contains an Anschutz-type accessory rail that will accept a bipod. Recessed Uncle Mike's sling swivels are incorporated on both sides of the forestock and both sides of the butt stock which provide for a number of practical carry modes. Large serrations on the bottom of the butt stock and the
forestock help the rifle grip sandbags. The sloped bottom of the forestock
makes elevation adjustments from a supported hand or sand bags easy by
simply sliding the stock on the rest, and the arrangement also keeps a
Harris bipod angled toward the barrel so it is less likely to snag on
brush during a stalk.
