Gordy Gritter did a write up for Varmit Hunter's magazine, on them and ended up buying one and building a long ranger rifle on it.

Thanks Guys
You pretty much told me what I wanted to know. Can you tell me which VHM volume it was in --- guess I missed it.

I don't have any idea what issue it was. It's been several years ago.

I have three of them and like them a lot. They are very true and precise. The only problem is finding a stock maker to inlet for them

I have not got that quite figured out (how to post ) but I`d be glad to send you a photo via my cell phone if you want to send me a private message.

OIF/ORD. Sent you a picture earlier, you are welcome to post on this site for others to comment on, still need to do some finish work on the stock, and may set up a second stock specifically for BR shooting.

That thing is beautiful Sir holy crap. I hope mine comes out close to that..

Pretty simple finish sand with 80 grit, then 120, then 160, then 200, then 300, then followed by 6 coats of Minwax Antique Oil finish with sanding (400 grit) between. I was amazed at how simple and inexpensive the finishing process turned out to be.

My first attempt at posting pics.....
