I don't know where I got it, but it seemed to fit.
Glad you took it the right way, Bud!
Oh , while I have your attention, I think the Remington in your sig line is a Scoremaster, not Scopemaster. Just thought somebody would have pointed that out by now.
You have some nice firearms, my friend!

He harassed me the first time I saw him here, and I haven't paid any attention to him since!

Paul Lynde was a scream. The quickest wit ever.
There was once a question posed to him on one of those shows: "Which is pregnant for a longer period of time, your wife or your elephant?"
Paul replied instantly and indignantly-
"WHO TOLD YOU ABOUT MY ELEPHANT??!!"
I laugh out loud whenever I think of that.

budperm, why do you think the stock is too short? Your groups show no real indication of that. If it is really too short, you should show a tendency to group to the right of your actual POA. There are some fairly simple Q&D formulae for determining a ROM length of pull estimate, then there is the complex science for benchrest shooters.

Hey Bud. I've started loading SST's now, but in 140 gr. I think they will shoot well too, and with a B.C. like they have should be very deadly, even way out there. They outrun the Winchesters I was shooting by 300 yards, and start off 150 fps slower. They are a long bullet though. If your gun likes to have bullets seated near the lands, you may not make it due to magazine constrictions. I ran in to that myself.

Yeah, I am loading 140gr SSTs right now too. Starting with H4831SC 5ea of 57.5, 58.0, 58.5, 59.0gr. Once I have dialed in 31SC I'll start with RE17. My Chrony should be here this week, so I 'll be able to get some hard numbers.

eeeh eeem. [/QUOTE] Sorry guys, missed this question.
Well truth be told I know nothing about sizing a rifle stock. I do know that I am a little on the oversized side of things... 6'2" 280#+ and 38" long arms. Fairly broad shouldered. Usually it is my arm length that gives me troubles.
For instance, I was chunking for yellowfin tuna with some friends off Ocean City, MD. I hooked into a 50# tuna and it KICKED my butt! I was trying to hold the pole by the handle. This meant that with my long arms I was fighting the tuna with my biceps and small of my back. It was embarassing! My buddies laughed and made fun of me, after all it was only a 50# fish.
The Captain of the charter pulled me aside and told me to lock my arms out straight next time. I said that if I did that I would be holding the pole just behind the 2nd eyelet from the tip. He said not to worry about the Tuna stick (Pole) it would survive. Next hook-up I did what he said and the difference was completely amazing. I had no trouble at all fighting and landing the tuna (another 50#er).
I have always felt more comfortable with a longer stock and barrel. One of these days I need to research more on how to proper fit a rifle. You guys know of any websites or books on hthe subject??? Edited by budperm - February/24/2009 at 06:53 |
