Nice setup!Did you do alot of the work or did SSS do it?

I have years of trade and maintenance experience so I did it myself.

However, I think most folks with some hobby experience could do the same. The bedding is probably the trickiest part having to do with judging the ammount of epoxy to get the right fill.

Nice weapons guys... heres mine, its just a simple stock Stevens 200 in 30-06. It might not be the best picture but atleast its showing what I have. I also have more guns, but they arent stevens. I can show them if you like, just ask me too [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]:
