Agree. My Russo stock fits my action like the proverbial glove in all aspects. I have never seen an after market stock fit this nicely at every point from tip to tail. The customer service aspect is what really makes this an easy choice for me. If there is "ever" a problem with the...

The Russo is sweet! I have a Russo stock and have not seen anything that remotely competes from Stocky's myself. The quality of the design, workmanship, the customer service, second to none with Joel and his stocks. The ability to specify the type of woods to have your stock built from is...

Hard to argue with that logic :D

Got to agree on the Co-Ax. All the pluses and nothing compares IMO. Makes great ammo!

I believe those spacers are there to keep the tupperware from collapsing when you torque the action down, not pillars in the sense that you are thinking. They are cheap throwaway stocks to allow them to meet a price point. Again as far as the action being rough neither of the two that I used...

There is zero difference between a Stevens and Savage action other than the lack of an Accutrigger. Check with the Savage guys over on Savage Shooters forums. I have two Stevens actions that I used as donors and they are every bit the equal of my other Savage actions, less the trigger...

Thanks Joel, but I am just a hack :)

Thanks gentlemen. I had the wood and I was not going to be using it for furniture. I hate to waste lumber :)

Here are some photos of my new reloading room and the new benches that I built over the holidays. The first photo is of the longer bench. I still need to add the hardwood edge to the top and apply a new laminate. I installed a spline around the edge of the top to secure the hardwood edge that...

Also Vortex is releasing a "non-illuminated" version of the PST to be called the HS series. Question form another forum to Scott at Vortex: "I just wish the PST did not have the illumination knob on it, as that would be perfect hunting scope for me." Scott's reply: Ask and you shall...

Scott stated on one of the other large optics forums that they are now released and that all pre-ordered scopes will be filled before the end of this month and that more are coming in short order in January. I am excited to finally get my hands on one!

Two people have received their scopes on the Hide and the problems look pretty minor and nothing that I would fret about personally. Vortex will make the situation right and they hyave already shipped the guy with the blob on his lens a replacement without having him send his defective unit...

I have been using Sierra and Hornady 25 caliber bullets for ever and want to try out some others for my 25-06 in the 75 to 100 grain range. I would welcome suggestions for other bullets that I should investigate (Speer, Nosler, etc.) I mainly punch paper and shoot the occasional varmint...

Shilen called me this morning. I am going to go to their shop in Ennis tomorrow, with my action, so they can fix the issue. They also will engrave the barrel for me for my troubles :) Not a huge deal as they are going to correct the issue. Thanks everyone.
