[QUOTE="98s1lightning, post: 3045137, member: 129199"] Do some of ya's take the beautiful wood stocks hunting??? I have but it makes me uncomfortable, like I'm bout to destroy a work of art. I much appreciate the skill and work that goes into a nice stock. Machine or man made, its still nice. I can't see scratching the thing up. But being inexperienced at bedding a rifle has got me in a bad spot right now. I'm not really trying to send my rifle off in the mail or bring it to local "gunsmith" last guy I went to claimed to be a gunsmith did the work without asking me and only did what he thought, not any of the CHECKS that I sited to him from my gun smithing book I brought along. This was a revolver that spit lead. I explained it to him all of it and when he was done all he could say was he didn't notice it, I don't think it really has a problem......that was my red flag to never go back to him. I brought it for 3 problems, he fixed 1, and tried telling me the problems I talked about were not existent. I don't want to get into it any more than that.... I mean I did buy a verified book about gunsmithing that particular model and highlighted what needed to be looked at with my sympotoms. I'm just saying I don't have a local place I trust to drop off a rifle I care a lot about. I need to bed it myself, I'm sure I am capable just need to educate myself more. Some things you can't undo after the customer says you cut off what?!?!? I don't want that to be me AGAIN Kind of a rant but trying not to be negative. Back on topic, I don't think I can hunt my nice wood stock and think I need plastic or similar. Do a lot of you feel the same way? [/QUOTE]
