Some excellent shooting, way to represent!

All good information, thanks for taking the time.

I haven't placed an order for springs yet, but I did just receive my Kleindorst spring removal tool, headed in the right direction.

Thanks Rick,
I will do that.

Kelly. I sent you a post outling my many errors in setup. A mentor can really help in this regard.

I would appreciate any tips, thank you. Not sure if you sent it already? Nothing has come through.

Excellent, thank you both for the info!

Looks like very promising results. You must be happy, congratulations!

While attempting to create some type of order in my garage today I found a set of plastic ammo boxes I had purchased at Princess Auto a couple years ago. Looking at the size I was immediately hopeful one would work for my JJ Lo front rest, and one for the rear rest and some odds and ends.

The front rest is a perfect fit other than the lid on the box was 1/2" low. I was able to correct that by heating the lid with a heat gun and closing the lid with a spacer, this bent the lid enough to create about 1/4" gap on the top. A few pieces of foam glued to the corners where the feet of the rest are and it is perfect.





The second box I fitted some new foam in (also from PA), cut a recess for my rear bag, it also holds a couple boxes of ammo, a metal ammo stand, and the base for the front rest. Items in this case may change, but it's a good start.





I think I paid $30 for these boxes, they also com with 3 smaller ammo cans inside each one (set of 4) - pretty hard to beat for the price. Before this I had the front and rear rests in a large Rubbermaid type box, it was quite heavy and awkward.

Nice little project for a Saturday afternoon, and a good way to distract myself from a few chores that are calling my name!

The expression always seems to be happy wife happy life.....

What about the man being happy as well?

LOL

I definitely agree! But to be fair to her, it's a bit of a story but I had saved up and tried to buy this gun in January, the deal didn't work/timing wasn't right so I ended up buying a less expensive gun and a second motorcycle and all new riding gear (offroad). Imagine my surprise when the now ready seller approached me last week and offered to sell! I've done pretty good this year, no doubt.

Hi Kelly, welcome to the slippery slope. You are in good hands with the guys in Lethbridge. It is not too late to bring you and the rifle to Rosebud tomorrow and Sunday! We will typically run the schools in May, but in the meantime ask away!

Thanks Rick. I had thoughts of trying to get there for the weekend, however I've been tasked with cooking a 15lb pork shoulder for a big family dinner on Sunday. 20 hour cook will have me tied up for 2 days unfortunately!

Hopefully next year, but until then I will certainly have my share of questions.
