Pretty sure I bought a 6x mil a year or two ago for $209. Definitely nothing getting me excited with this release. Had unrealistic hopes for low pro turrets on a 3-9 for $399.
Also realized the original stock I copied from had a LOP that was too short. Stupid me for not measuring before I cut the blank. I used a reddish piece of walnut burl I had laying around to make a spacer. Lessons learned for the next one. Still I think not too bad for my first go at this. Next...
Got my barreled action back a couple weeks ago. With a new baby in the house I’ve slowly been working on the stock again lot bit by bit when the baby sleeps. Haven’t really taken pics of the work I’ve done. But I had to open up barrel channel for clearance/floating the new barrel. Done lots of...
Yea 1/2 pit x catahoula/mountain Kerr
Accidental mix that turned out some cool dogs. I had one. was a great dog, unfortunately found him dead on road early one morning. They were really good dogs though
The scope could be a 4-12x or even 5-12x if that would make it lighter/cheaper. I always walk around at 5x and have no problem shooting things close and fast. I don’t ever use 3x or less
As cool as this project sounds, the market for such rifle has to be extremely small. The number of people buying $2500+ bare rifles is small. The number of people who shoot and hunt enough to value such rifle is even smaller. Those people who do shoot and hunt enough are already building their...
I’ve worn out about 15 pairs of the Solomon 4d boots. I’ve tried multiple hanwags, crispis, lowas and none fit right like the Solomons. I’m a 13 as well. I’m wide in the toes but kind of narrow in the heel. I’m tempted to try out the vivos and see what the hype is all about. Stiff boots always...
If y’all made 25-06 brass I’d build another one. Could be a popular come back with the new high BC bullets coming out. Same for 257bob. Brass options is the main reason not to have one.
Not sure what to make with it yet. I’ve seen similar blanks online listed for over $1k so I figured I could do no wrong grabbing this for $250. My end all be all dream rifle is a Sako 90 so ill likely wait til I get one and then make stock from this blank for it. I’m already sitting on 5 other...
