Nothing in a few months. But, I'd be interested in the new Weatherby RPM.

You may notice that the barrel sits higher in the stock at the front, I intentionally bedded it this way


Proper glass bedding is never a bad thing. I also thought about showing a pic of this new rifle after bedding, as i did less to it because it already fit in the stock nice and tight. All i did this time was glue the lug in, so it wont sink into the recess of the stock another. 050". Also nicely freefloating it with a dremel. Work took all of 45 minutes or less, but helped with accuracy. Guys like formid will attest to the benefits of properly glassbedding and freefloating.

A dremel, some fast set epoxy and 45 minutes is all it takes and you are ready to go and shoot the thing...If you do it right, it will shoot better. Speaking of "new rifles", heres one of them and how it shoots after new SS recoil lug and bedding:

Then the old CTR... Should be shooting this one in a long range comp this month, if I can get it scheduled:
