[QUOTE="coop2564, post: 2604335, member: 87214"] I have some project guns I will not sale. Like Ruger No.1 30-06 I worked long and hard getting it to group and its a great shooter now. About 2-3" group when I bought it and changed POI in different weather with barrel and stock touching under pressure. Did lots of fore end work and bedded, trigger job, and lapped barrel now its 1" and smaller no more POI change. Bergara HMR 6.5cm cut barrel to 18 and suppressed, gun is so sweet to shoot and total tack driver. And then my favorite gun is a cheap TC venture in 7RM, stainless fluted barrel, I did trigger job, lapped barrel, added Boyd At one stock and fully bedded, its my go to long range gun. 168gr Berger @2980fps 3 shots one hole, in my avatar. I did all the work myself and made them my guns. Those 3 are forever guns. Have many others that come and go. Although I have a Ruger American Go Wild in 243 that is high on my list of likes, I think it will be added to my forever stable. Oh I have a win 94 my Dad bought me in 74 its forever. Most varnish on stock worn off, gun is turning a beautiful brown and silver tint as bluing has all but worn off, and silver is high wear spots with a warm shade of rust brown in not high wear spots. But still shoots 3" groups at 100yds with ghost ring sights. It will be 50yrs old soon and boy its been my best friend for many years of woods toting. My uncle suggested I refinish it, but that will not happen. I love its character, its earned all the weathering and those battle scars. [/QUOTE]
