    I Know This Is LRH... But What Is The Shortest Distance You Have Taken A Live Target?

    Questions about Remington 700 BDLs

    STRIP OFF THE FINISH!!!! Good luck with that job!!! I hope you have a LOT of free time!!! I would suggest you find a place that does Dip and Strip for old Funiture. Take it there. Let it sit in the tank for 24 hours, or more ,then go pick it up and go on to step 2 !!

    Whats the worse rifle or gun you ever bought ? I hsve several tied

    I forgot that many years ago I purchased an Intha 12 gauge Flues Side by side model. It liked to fire both barrels at the same time when you went from barrel selection to SAFE position. Button located on the tang . Extremely Scary. Thats the worst gun I ever bought.

    What gun did you want that was never made ?

    I always wanted a Weatherby Mark V Deluxe, in a CLASSIC WOOD STOCK . The shape and dimensions of a Model 70 Super Grade, or a Dakota , with a black rounded ebony fore end tip. All the metal would be lightly bead blasted at the factory so the bluing would be rich, but not shinny or glossy...
