That's what looking for. Still looking for Beggs number but, gathering slot of good info already!

Alright,I'll search for his number. Worst he can do is hang up on me, haha!

I mean the 220 beggs basically is the 220 Russian, just less trimming due to the shoulder radius isn't it? If I can trim less, I'd pay more. Haha

I've been shooting benchrest for about a year now with my 30BR, and I love it. (competing with myself.) I was going to have a 222 rem built, but in my research of that cartridge I stumbled upon the 220 Beggs, and it really interested me. What intrigued me is the ease of brass prep and accuracy...

Found a guy on accurate shooter who said he will clear coat it for $300. I asked what the process was or if I need to do any work to it beforehand. He said this. "I do 3 coats let it cure then do 3 more coats. And it’s usually good. But you can send me some pictures of it and I can usually...

Well that's a lot to consider. I know of a guy on accurate shooter who does em for like $600, and they say he's the best, but I'm not ready to drop that kind of money on a clear coat. Plus the cost of shipping to the other side of the country. I may just do an oil finish, which I really like the...

Good point. I'm not too concerned with these stocks. They'd be for local club matches.

That was a thought I had, but does it matter what clear coat they use? I just want to make sure it slides in the bags well. Thanks!

Does anyone have any suggestions on someone to clear coat a stock or two? I've got two Dima's id like done up. Nothing fancy just clear. Also, what would you consider a reasonable price for such work? Thanks!

Good to know Al! Thank you.

It's coned. That's one thing I wanted. Not sure of what difference it would make though?

That's impressive! I just went to my first match a couple weeks ago. I didn't come in first. Haha!

My FFL is selling a Kelbly Atlas stainless steel single shot. I have shot a kelbly atlas tac and loved it. Anyone ever use these for benchrest shooting? Maybe a 30br or 6br is in the works for me. My friend traded me 500 pieces of Lapua 6br brass, and I have enough N130 and N140 to smoke a...

I will seriously consider the HV. I have a pretty heavy stock I want to put it in, so I don't think it would matter, but I can always change stocks. Here's a question. Where should the balance point be? I have a 1.25 straight taper barrel in a stock that balances about 1 -1.5n in front of the...
