    Aftermarket Recoil Pad

    I would take the time and money to mount a nice recoil pad, thick as you need, grind to fit, and cut the stock if needed so the LOP is correct after mounting the new recoil pad. It will be faster to shoulder, and be easier to shoot accurately. Sorry, but I’ll repeat it, “buy once, cry once”

    RCBS Partner Press shell holders?

    Let’s see an odd item that you use in your reloading process.

    Let’s see an odd item that you use in your reloading process.

    For fabricating pokers, scratchers, pushers, probers, pickers…. I like to use bicycle spokes. good high quality steel, in different diameters, and long enough for custom work.

    Need advice on selling a Ruger Model 77 Rifle in 375 H&H

    Mine (416 Rigby) has the most strikingly beautiful wood but just about the worst ergonomics I have experienced in a rifle stock

    870 upgrades

    870 upgrades- Paint, not just for duck camouflage, but to keep it from rusting. Remington did something wrong with the later finishes, you just look at them and can see the red rusty dust forming.

    Model 70 Featherweight catch

    My favorite push feed M70 is the year they didn’t call it a “Featherweight”, but a “Lightweight”.(1980’s) Actually the “Lightweight Carbine“, long action with light 20” barrel. I never really liked the Schnabel forearm.
