    Because when done correctly on a worthy firearm glass bedding is better than just pillar bedding. As I stated before I thought this was an either-or type option, and that I agree the best option is a combination of the two. Your example of a surplus military weapon is inefficient at best for...

    No I can't understand that, that is just poor care and poor quality to begin with. I'm not replying in argument but that is ridiculous. And I'm a bit more than a DIY guy, I'm a co-owner of a private gun repair company and and even my custom build with a hand made walnut stock is used enough not...

    I understand the combination theory and I fully support the combination of pillar bedding and glass bedding. I was assuming this was an either-or choice when I suggested that. I've seen too many people use just pillar bedding that wasn't accomplishing anything. I'm not sure you're experience...

    The couple reasons I have always liked and suggest glass bedding over pillar bedding is it gives the action more contact area, and is much simpler. When pillar bedding the posts need to be cut to the shape of the receiver, and if the contour is not cut exactly and if they aren't cut exactly the...

    I was talking to you JG, sorry, I forgot the threads show the oldest posts first so I was asking in response to your earliest post about your longest kill.

    What set-up where you shooting at those ranges? Barrel dimensions, load info, optics and mount, etc.? If you care to share.

    It's okay Epee , more people should appreciate the beauty and reliability of a good hardwood stock or even a laminated wood stock (not claiming that it's the "right" answer). That being said it sounds like a solid upgrade you have planned. Any idea on what round you plan on shooting out of it...

    What are you looking for?

    Okay, lets branch out a bit then from the first question and try this direction. What do you consider the differences between a simple off the shelf hunting rifle, and a long range hunting rifle? And lets focus on bullet point comparisons such as optic differences, after market parts being...

    What are you looking for?

    This is purely a opinion based question, and I'm not looking for the "right" answer, I'm looking for a survey of the masses. Let's start with an easy caliber for this, something that everyone has and is an overall great hunting round; it can be a .308, .30-06, .270, whatever you want that's not...

    My first full build

    Very cool. Are you definitely looking for wood or is the laminated wood stocks also an option for you?

    My first full build

    Thank you, I appreciate it. And I agree, I think wood looks the best; not saying I think all synthetic stocks look bad but a wood stock with distinct grains, and curls, and knots is so unique and attractive it cant be beat. And if you have the time, patience, and tools I'd suggest doing as much...

    My first full build

    Haha to all his own brother, but I appreciate you taking the time to look and reply. My bias is toward anything Leupold so I like to start with the long range one piece base with the windage screws so I can turn my windage turret on the scope to the center and bore sight with the base screws...
