Greetings: I am still working on my "project" which involves putting a laminated target stock on a Marlin 7000 semi-auto 22 LR. I think I would like to glass bed the action. Everything I have read so far talks about the recoil lug being a critical part of bedding project. Well this gun has no...

Thanks guys. I have it on, it looks pretty good, but more importantly I learned a lot going through the process. Next time will be easier. And my wife says, I refuse to ask directions. Ha!

Greetings: I have done very little custom work on my guns, but I am now installing a Tubb's adjustable butt plate on a traditional target stock. The plate is larger than the stock. I will be removing about 3/16 inch off the outside edge of the mounting plate. What is the best way to remove...

Thanks for all the input. I think I found a rail at Champion's Choice. It's a 14" American Accessories Rail. I will need to shorten it to 10" but it should work. Then I need to buy a bipod adapter, then finally I can look for a 6-9" bipod. Thanks again,

No metal rail. So now I either find a rail to fit and go that route, or simply build/buy some type of filler to hold a sling stud to attach to.

Greetings: I bought a new stock that has a groove cut in the bottom of the forearm. I assume this is where one would install some type of metal rail to hold accessories like bipods, had stops, etc. I see a lot of stuff on the web for AR platforms, but nothing for a traditional target stock...

Greetings: I have a Marlin7000 with a bull barrel. It really shoots well, so I decided to put a better stock on it. Bought a laminated stock of typical target design off Ebay. So far, so good. The stock has a 3/4" wide by 5/16" deep grove cut in the bottom of the forearm. I want to...

Greetings: You will note, that I have a lot to learn about this, and probably many other, subjects. I have a Marlin7000 with a bull barrel. It really shoots well, so I decided to put a better stock on it. Bought a laminated stock of typical target design off Ebay. So far, so good. The stock...

I have in front of me a box of Sierra 55 gr spitzers for my 223 H&R Ultra Rifle. I need some ideas on reloading recipes for this bullet. Currently using 25.5 grains of Varget with a 69 MK's. I want to come up with a load for a smaller grain bullet. Powder on hand...Varget AND H335. I...

Here in Illinois, this is one thing I could not do. No raw meat products in the solid waste containers. I guess I could BBQ it first. Thanks to everyone for their ideas. Quite frankly, I did not expect so much response to this question. I think dragging them off to a secluded fence row is...

I apologize if this has been handled in another thread. If it is, I could not find it. I am new to coyote hunting, and I have no real interest in saving hides. For me it is about ridding our deer woods of some coyotes. What methods do you folks use to dispose of any dead coyotes if you do not...

Just bought a new Spitfire. Like it a lot, but I have not actually hunted with it yet, so we will see. bought it from All Predator Calls. They put in the sounds I requested. Remote works great. Anxious to get out.
