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...

Good to hear! Hopefully it gets even better for you.

Looking to do a short range bench gun. This would be for club matches. From 100-300 yards. Looking at a 6 or 30br. (These are just for fun) No limits on weight or anything like that. That being said, I'd still like to win them if possible. I'm thinking of just building a heavy SOB with a 1.25...

So I have N130, but want to try the LT30 as well. Using the 205M also, and I have a bald eagle with a shade tree top. That's about all I can afford at the moment. But I really like the shade tree top. I'll look into a better scope though that's for sure. I currently have a sightron 36x. The most...

New to benchrest, and the forum. so forgive me on some of these questions. I had a 30BR built to participate in local club matches at 1-200 yards. I plan on fire forming and and maybe finding a load this week or next. I've got everything I need to start except for a few things, and a few...
