I'm in the process of turning my ADL into a BDL. Looking for a 70s-80s glossy or oil finished walnut stock with the "ebony" fore end tip. Thanks.

Thank yall for the advice. I'm going to make the decision this week and not look back. Again, I really appreciate the help.

Thanks for that. I own three VX-3s and I love them. I've just never compared them to a VX-6. Great info. I appreciate it.

I'm about to scope a 12GA Browning A-Bolt with a Leupold VX-Something. Over the years I've owned many scopes in the $500-$750 dollar range from many different manufacturers but I keep coming back to Leupold. I'm not knocking any manufacturer. I just think that my eye "sees" better out of my...

Great advice! Thanks a lot. I'm gonna stick with my current caliber and I'll definitely bed the lug only for now. I've looked at the "main" barrel companies' websites and it seems like all of the barrels are stainless. That's fine but I'd sure like to find one with a ceracote (or something...

Yea, I'm planning on getting a heavier barrel. Any insight there? If you can't already tell, I'm a newbie when it comes to accuracy. Thanks.

Are you talking about that whole discolored area or that little spot that looks where some kind of node protruded out? The node (it looks like the same location as yours) is what fell off. None of that "area" is touching the barrel. It's got about an 1/8in of clearance under and on both sides.

Hmmm... I bought the Medalist style 2. Stocky's has the SKU listed as 2092. Now that you say that, there was a little "nub" that was in the barrel channel. I thought it was pushed up over where one of the sling studs was. It, essentially, fell off. I guess it was supposed to serve a...

I just put a new Bell/Carlson stock on my 700 300WM. I don't have a heavy barrel so it's definitely floated (and then some). My plan is to bed the action but, what about the barrel? Do i need to bed the forearm while leaving the barrel floated? I'm probably over thinking this but does an...

The gun I've ordered is a bolt action. I bedded the action on my 300WM (also a bolt gun). Honestly, I'm not sure that I'm a good enough shot for it to make a difference but I figure it can't hurt. Right? I understand the premises behind bedding. What I don't know is how a bolt action slug...

Hmmmm.......

Thanks for that. I'm going to get started next week. I've got a lot of "work" to do on figuring this slug stuff out. Looking forward to every minute of it. Thanks again!

First off, let me say that I know nothing about slugs and slug guns. I live in TN and we deer hunt with rifles. A few friends and I have leased a piece of property in IN so I've ordered a 12 Ga Browning A Bolt and its on the way. As I do with everything shooting related (ADD), I feel like I'm...

Guys. I really appreciate the help. All of this is definitely new to me. I'm a duck hunter but i'm super fired up about the possibility of shooting a big bull. I also need to become a better rifle shot. Thanks again!

Thanks Doc. Exactly the type of information I was looking for. I appreciate it.
