Congratulations to Trudie Fay, Derek Rodgers, Jim Gaines, Dean Wheeler and the rest of the amazing shooters that shot some of the rifles that I have built and/or fine-tuned! If you have been left out, I’m suffering from CRS! Please … Continue reading →

I am making 5 rear offset sights! 2 of them are already spoken for. I’ve been doing a lot of woodwork, so time for some metalwork.

One will be a 2000 Anschutz prone stock and the other will be a combination Palma and F/TR stock with a Stolle Panda action.         

Hello Everyone. I put a video of my bike up on YouTube. Please take a look.

Hi Everyone. I’ve been slowed down for the last couple weeks. Albuquerque was hit with one heck of cold session. We all got it. We’ll be back to our normal posting schedule soon. Question. Anyone going to the Berger Match … Continue reading →
