Lithgow LA102 Carbon Stock
Ultralight Precision Hunter – (UPH)
Bolly Composite Stocks Gen3 stock for Lithgow LA102
The Bolly Composites Stocks carbon fibre Lithgow LA102 Ultralight Precision Hunter Rifle Stock is a stock born from an absolute classic, the Sako AII Varmint stock, but with modern features inspired by our backpack hunting trips. Designed to be capable in any situation but with its but hook and vertical grip it is specialised towards mountain hunting, long range shooting, PRS and precision varminting/hunting. Featuring the hallmark of our gen3 series, a drop in fit inlet and carbon fibre bedding, the inlet and barrel channel are moulded in for the ultimate in rigidity, further strengthened by having the recoil lug made from carbon fibre and integral to the stock. If you are looking for peak performance from your Lithgow LA102 out to distance, this is the stock.
We have designed and built the UPH stock based on our experiences in mountain hunting as well as long range precision and mountain hunting. For the ultimate in performance we suggest pairing this stock with a 24″+ Proof carbon Sendero barrel, however we have achieved exceptional performance from factory Lithgow LA102 barrels and many have simply installed their Lithgow LA102 barrelled actions and achieved extreme accuracy.
The Gen3 Lithgow LA102 Carbon Stock comes standard as a drop in fit for Lithgow LA102/105 actions. The barrel channel is sized to have up to a 1.2″ Bull barrel (0 taper) installed and still fit in this stock. A recoil lug is not required as a carbon one is integral to the carbon bedding surface. Carbon pillars are standard and accept standard Lithgow LA102 action screws.
We have tested these stocks extensively and believe the carbon bedding system is unparalleled when it comes to durability and performance, it is expected accuracy will be the equivalent or better than a properly devcon bedded stock, without requiring the extra weight from the bedding compound. If you are comparing our stocks to others, please remember to compare finished, bedded weight.
Like all Bolly Composite Stocks, the UPH stocks are produced on the same production line and to the same standard as Bolly Aviation Carbon fibre propellers for industry leading strength to weight performance.
Lithgow LA102 Carbon Stock UPH spec stocks:
The DBM/Trigger guard is inletted for the factory plastic DBM as well as the Lumley Arms AICS DBM. LUMLEY DBM IS INCLUDED WITH THIS STOCK! The Lumley LA102/105 AICS conversion allows for AICS pattern magazines, drastically improving the versatility of the rifle system and for us turns the Lithgow LA102 into the perfect long range varmint and fringe country hunting rifle.
Recoil Pad is a Classic limbsaver for improved durability and for sling use 2x Grovtec Flush cups are installed as standard on the opposing side to the bolt notch, one in the forend and one in the buttstock. Once you use flush cups, we predict you’ll want to change all your rifles to this setup.
For bipod installation we install a B&T Industries BT34 2.05″ picatinny rail on the forend as standard. If you require sling studs for a harris style bipod, please let us know and we can include some standard studs in the order for you – this allows you to upgrade to a rail system down the track.
