[QUOTE="jeb405, post: 2218391, member: 78163"] The bolt handgun I just never got around to. But I do have a crazy Contender. I don't think the company that made the barrel is still in business. 7-30 Waters, sizing die cut with same reamer as chamber. For that gun you can get wood made for a special wood rest, can't recall the name right now but the forend and bottom of the grip have these huge flat sections that marry to the rest. The wood on the gun is fiddleback maple with barrel and action stainless. With my limited shooting skills can still do 1/2 MOA at 100 yds, and when I do that I do use the Burris Handgun variable to 12x. At the time I was younger, and with young kids so not the same funds for projects like this to go bolt action. But your point about brakes is a good one too. When I built that gun brakes on any gun were not common but today most people have experienced the amazing recoil reduction you can get with a good brake. I have a 300 RUM long range bolt gun with a Fat Bastard brake. Less recoil than my 18lb 308. But if you put anything light on the bench you will have to search for it after the first shot. Today can's are an even better options. John. [/QUOTE]
