Admire your sand.....................


I second that! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Mickey, like we talked about, you're definitely building my next project rifle (even if you're not so fond of Winnies), and I won't make a fuss about the details, lest I end up being called a lemming or some such creature... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />


I appreciate that. Just so you'll know that I'm a mere mortal, too, I have my 'areas' where I've been a lemming. When I got started in benchrest I did what I saw all the 'old hands' do. It's the smart way to start because they've tried and discarded a lot of things that just don't work and that keeps us from having to blaze our own trail through some bad territory but after awhile you have to learn how to separate fly specks from black pepper yourself.

For instance, if you clean a Douglas barrel a couple of times and look through a borescope and check it out you'll find that they make beautiful barrels.

When you get ready for the rifle I'll build it like you want. You're the wagonmaster and I'm just another 'mule'. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
