    Question about recontouring a rifle stock with auto putties like Bondo.

    It is NOT the rubbery Urethane type finish. It is the speckled gray/white finish used to duplicate the factory paint of car trunks. It gives a textured, speckled gray/white finish. It is available in most auto parts stores in spray cans.

    Question about recontouring a rifle stock with auto putties like Bondo.

    I've made a couple of 10 meter air pistol grips using Bondo to get a form fitting grip. It bonded well to the wood base and has held up for a little over a year with no problems. After the Bondo cured I sprayed it with the textured paint that is used to restore auto trunks. It's the best...

    High end scopes

    When my son starting shooting 50 yard 3 Position as a Junior, I had two scopes that weren't being used for him to choose from--a 24X BSA and and a 6-20 Leupold. After trying both, he chose the BSA. He said it wasn't quite as bright as the Leupold but the adjustments were more predictable...

    Putting something back '

    I can't tell you exactly where the BIG DOGS have kicked in to benchrest shooting in particular but the BIG DOGS contribute heavily to the shooting sports in general. For 4 years my son was a counselor or assistant instructor at the NRA Whittington Center Adventure Camp for Kids. Before that...

    Thinning a bolt action ???

    It was common practice to cut the magazine box down on the 1917 Enfield to produce a more graceful rifle. I did that to a couple of 1917 Enfields eons ago (1960's). That also required forging the trigger guard straight and taking a section out of the trigger. Back about 10 years or so when...

    He clearly didn't understand that beyond certain basic functions the purpose of government is to steal from the unfavored group and give to the favored group :D :D :D

    Reverse taper

    Doesn't the added muzzle weight of a reverse taper act the same as a non-adjustable tuner? Isn't that what the Sporter profile barrels accomplish?

    Our Sport vs Others

    I think the FUN FIRE and the rules that "George in Ky" uses at Buckcreek are a great way to attract new shooters. I also think not having a nearby place to shoot is a far bigger factor in low attendance than the money it costs to shoot. If you compare shooting to most any form of racing...

    Just my opinion but I would think it would have more sentimental value "as is."

    Cast Bullets

    I believe the current 10 shot cast bullet group record for 200 yards is .521. This was fired by James Walsh using a 32-40 Winchester HiWall. The bullets did not have gas checks. I've shot quite a few 100 yard 5 shot groups under 1 inch using a New England Firearms single shot in 45-70. I...
