    Ruger No. 3 quarter rib

    I was commissioned to make an optic mount for a No.3. There are only 2 options on the market and neither are great. Originally it was supposed to be steel weaver style mounts. I'm glad I talked him into this instead. It was a fun project, figuring out how to cut the barrel channel was a good...

    How long?

    Not really, but it depends on the terrain. Grass near water makes me nervous. Most of the ones I do see are in spots were you'd expect to see them. I did run into 4 in 2 days last summer. Not going back to that spot.

    How long?

    No elk for me this year. Pronghorn starts in 14 days.

    G5 Montec or VPA Three Blade

    Seems like marketing to me. I've used the Tophat Apex points for years. I haven't noticed any meaningful flight differences between field tips and broadheads. I practice out to 100yds with both.

    G5 Montec or VPA Three Blade

    Solids fly quieter. They'll fly great as long as your bow is tuned.

    Finished my encore.

    Handsome rifle.

    G5 Montec or VPA Three Blade

    I really like the VPA's. Super consistent, easy to sharpen, fly great, fly quietly, super tough.

    2nd opinion stock barrel movement

    The best way to fix the barrel channel is to pull the soft epoxy Win used as bedding compound and start from scratch. It will usually come out pretty easily. Once that's out, wrap a few wraps of tape around the barrel so it centers in the channel at the tip of the forend. You want it to slip...

    Resurrecting "Red Green" a tough Toyota.

    My wife has a locker on her truck. I keep threatening to pull the ole switcheroo and swap axles with her. There's only been one time where it would've really helped me get out of a f@$% up. 9 hrs of stacking rocks to get back out.

    Short 7mm-08 barrel length?

    Figure on 20-25fps/inch.

    Help which rifle to buy

    There's very little aftermarket support for both the Browning and Winchester. The win uses their MOA trigger, which is decent, but only goes down to 3.5lb. The x bolts I've had in the shop were a 4-5lb trigger at best. The M-Carbo spring would only take them down to around 3lb and it's a pain...

    Talk me out of a Savage Accufit Stock...

    Bergara imports them from Spain. Lawrenceville is their US location.

    Is that just to retain the longer sight radius?

    False muzzle? If so, how does that work with a .22?

    A little humour for your day

    Surprisingly, that doesn't bother me one bit!

    First 32-40 reloads...

    That's a great cartridge.

    Next to adding a sling, it's the most stable form for shooting offhand.

    A metalsmith re-stocks a No.1

    Some high falutin' fella sent me a Ruger No.1 for surgery. I haven't gotten as many pictures as the last build, but the process is pretty much the same. It all starts with making a mortgage payment to my stock carver, who picked out a beautiful piece of Bastogne Walnut and rough carved a blank...
