Shout out to Alex Wheeler

[Mulligan]

In Jan of 2021 I reached out to Alex Wheeler about some ignition issues I was having with an OLD Bat 3LL.
Along with the ignition issues, the raceway/bolt relationship was a bit snug.

I sent the action to Alex and received it back in short amount of time with the mods/repairs complete and replacement parts installed.

Several months ago I decided to try another wildcat cartridge, and ordered a reamer. I had my good friend Dan Dowling fit the new barrel to the 3LL because, it is the one rifle I own that I can always count to to shoot small. That way if the wildcat didn't shoot, I would not question the platform. Yes, a 6 Hammer will shoot!

As I was cleaning it this morning, it dawned on me that I have been a bit tardy in reporting back to Alex and letting him know, that he in-fact, did fix all the issues with that rifle.

@Alex Wheeler, Thank you, this old 3LL in a Masterclass stock is a solid performer.

Alex has helped me many times during my time here as well as at Deep Creek with information and just working on my rifle more than once, I can’t thank him enough for all he’s done for the shooting community.

Same here, Alex built a 6 Creed for me a while back and it shoots better than I do.
Incredible craftsmanship!!!

A few days of it is great, but long term every day for the whole season, not my idea of fun. I went to North Ga to help dad get mom home from a rehab center after they operated she had a bad infection from the surgery. I stayed about 10 days and it never got above 43 the whole time. That was doable but what got me was the overcast sky. I didn't see one square inch of blue sky the whole 10 days, when I got close to Atlanta going home the sky cleared up. Its was so grey it was depressing.
