I said in an earlier post that I would post pics of my sons rig once I got it finished. Nothing too fancy, but it will suffice to test out his commitment to the sport. http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp90/daviscustom/logansrifle.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp90/daviscustom/logansrifleb...

The closest one is in Colorado Springs, but it is a week long with smallbore, air rifle, and pistol....No way I can do that. I'd love to, but that would require vacation time I don't have. Sept 11-12 is in Union, SC ....14.5 hour drive. Think I better hold out for something closer. Does anyone know ...

I plan to get in touch with the local 4-H group to see what level of membership/involvement is required to be in their shooting program. Don't know if they do 3-P SB or not, but I know they have an active shooting program. It's been so stink'n hot for the last few weeks that we haven't been doing mu...

John is the fellow that runs the local camp. I have already emailed him for info. The closest town listed is an hour away. Doable for matches but a little much for practice, but I'll look into it.

That sounds like a good idea. The gentlemen who runs the camp my son attended asked if I wanted to help with the camp next year. I'll look on the CMP and NRA websites for training schedules. Do they have any kind of junior shooting program locater? I don't think there is anything in the area but 4-H.

Soupy, I was very tempted to buy that stock, but after careful consideration I think I would rather wait and see how my son progresses and how he maintains his level of interest in the sport. My Dad has expressed an interest in dusting off the 1413 and shooting with us some as well so I don't want t...

I wonder if a rail was inletted into the fore-end and epoxied in around it with Devcon plastic steel if that would stiffen it up enough.... maybe if the action was bedded as well so the entire stock was epoxy filled from the action forward (with the barrel free floated) . I think with a little head ...

I saw that one, but some folks aren't too whoopy about aluminum stocks. I myself prefer the looks of a wood stock. As far as I know they are the only option out there right now. I'm guessing they are in the right price range though.

Thanks for the input, I think I will look at little harder at getting that stock. It's been a while since I have looked at the rifle but I think the 1413 has the hook butt plate and a bunch of other gear with it, so that would be even better. Don't know if they are all interchangeable or not. Will t...

Much interest in an adjust. target stock for Savage Mk I/II

Just been kicking around the idea of making an adjustable stock for the Savage CMP rifles....wondering how much demand there might be for such. Considering building from scratch or using an existing aftermarket stock and modifying it to accept Anschutz accessories. The idea being that you could buy ...

Am I in the wrong section? Lots of lookers, but no input so far. One of my sons coaches at camp recommended this forum for info and used gear. We don't have a local CMP club and my son is in Scouts instead of 4-H so I am in the situation of having to be my sons coach... along with my Dad who was a S...

New Junior 3P Smallbore shooter's Dad

My son just finished up with a CMP camp in Missouri and had a good time. Says he is interested in continuing and definitely wants to go back next year. Getting ready to fix up a Mossberg 144 sla with an adjustable butt plate for him to continue with until we are sure he's hooked. In the mean time th...
