Once I finally get a rifle to do like I had hoped for, it is amazing how quickly I lose interest and start thinking about some other rifle that I would like to work with. Is it that way with you too, Brother in-law? Kind regards, charlesb

Is it that way with you too, Brother in-law? That's something we have in common. I really would like to learn to shoot steel at 500+ yards, and have built 2 rifles to do that with. Both rifles have been traded shortly after being done. All the fun for me was in putting them together.
