Two are 4 5/8 which are just too short for me.
You could always PM me if you thought they needed a new home...
Just sayin'.😁

Here's what I tell my fellow shooters;
You want to see this or that (poppers, flying birds, reloads, close targets, farther targets, etc) then move the steel and write the stages.

Did Ruger make any Vaquero's (New or Old) in 44-40.
Either regular or Bisley grips?

For monthly matches, the starting line I write in the shooter package I email out and post online is "State when ready".
For an annual, sometimes a movie/TV line, sometimes something I make up. But, for an annual, I post the starting line at all starting positions.
Oh, and keep the starting lines short/simple.
The longer the starting line, the more likely I am going to say "let 'er buck".

Animated today is not what a lot of us grew up with.
It can be done tastefully for adults.
Animation will also allow voice actors to take on roles of characters if the series is successful beyond the desires of the current actors.

I never saw it on television, but my understanding is they did not show them in the order they were shot. They did not show them in the order they were supposed to be shown.
That is correct.
Not only not in the correct order but they would cancel a showing (preempt) for other shows at the last minute.

Yeah, I'm a bit puzzled too. Of course I don't shoot PRS either.
I'd like to see the finished result when you get 'er done. 🙂
I'm putting this project on hold for now.
I'm working on a trade for a chassis that already has a bag rider. Gentleman is willing to trade straight for a scope that I happen to have that I just took off another rifle.
I prefer the look of a traditional stock over a chassis and the feel of fiberglass over aluminum, but...
This is what's currently on the rifle (only in green):
This is what I'm now planning to put on the rifle:

Likewise.
So you build your PRS gun with one of the chassis style "stocks". Then you have to get this bag rider so the butt of it will "interface" with the rear bag like a regular ol' rifle stock.Ok.Well, I'm not shooting PRS and never have. I read the quote above but I don't see how a bag rider will aid positional shooting in PRS. In my limited experience, these work best from a bench or prone.
For me, this is for a bench gun - specifically for 22LR Long Gong matches.
It's been driving me crazy that almost all fiberglass stocks come with a cut out under the stock these days (hand-grab/butt hook - I don't know what it's called). And on top of that, most of these don't have an easy way of attaching pic rail or a bag rider directly.

If not Much a simple Helicoil kit and epoxy or Fiberglass epoxy if you have it
I would not think much. The rifle is heavy but it's going to to be shot from a bench and is chambered in 22LR.

I've read a little and watched a couple of videos.
It quite frankly just doesn't interest me, but I'm not a techy person.
That said, I am interested in WinLink for EmCom in case we have another Katrina level event down here along the coast.

Use AcraGlass. It's specifically made for gunstocks.
Brownells carries it.
You mean instead of 2-part epoxy?
I had a though of cutting the ends off a couple of older arrows I have and epoxying them into the stock. I believe the inserts on the arrows are threaded 8-32. Thoughts?
Or should I use a 1/2" long, 10-24 threaded insert?
I don't think I trust a rivnut. I don't know how thick or strong the fiberglass is.

I have a fiberglass stock (Graeboe Ridgeback) that I want to put a bag rider on.
Problem is, there's no picatinny rail on the bottom of the buttstock.
Was thinking of drilling a hole and using epoxy for a nutsert or similar in order to attach a short piece of picatinny..
Looking for recommendations on accomplishing this.

Actually, no. Pretty solid person.
But how was my initial impression...just drawn, hands hadn't fully mated up yet?
The scene looks familiar, I may have seen the video it's from. A relaxed grip, but when it was time to pull the trigger, his actual shooting grip was pretty close to textbook.
Sorry, but a "pretty solid person" doesn't critique based on one frame of video.
I'm not an expert, but there's no way I would critique this officer's grip based on a single picture. There's not enough to base a critique on.

i pointed out that it was real life, not the range, and that the officer had probably just drawn. Got back that it didn't matter, it should still be perfect.
This from a keyboard commando being a Monday morning quarterback. A person that's never been in a compromising situation in their life, unless you include running out of soy milk for their latte.
You can't educate people like that.
I try to stay away from them.

@Widder, SASS #59054 what is the thread pitch on the barrel? I can't find that info.

To be honest even it it had a bad taste it works so well for me that I'd figure out a way.
Ok. I just ordered some.
I started riding a stationary bicycle on 12/31/25 to try in get in better physical shape. I try to ride 10 miles or 30 minutes, whichever takes longer. As of yesterday, I've rode 224 miles, in just over 14 hours. My knees are achy, but my hips feel better than they have in months.

This has help my joint pain more than anything I’ve ever taken. I can now shoot a six stage match without my hips screaming in pain.
I told several friends about it it’s helped several of them.
Do you just add it to water? What's the taste?

@Texas Maverick I don't take the pills if I don't have to either. As a former abuser of alcohol, I've never wanted to take a chance with drugs - prescription or otherwise.
One of my former doctor's told me something along the lines of, the body is not properly healing if you're in constant pain.

Did she have any gotcha's that I need to be aware of? I hope it is all easy as the doc keeps telling me it is.

You're having less done than she did so hopefully it will be "easier".
Muscles are going to hurt. Everything goes through that area - cough, sneeze, any movement.
Do as much PT as you can push yourself to do - as early and as often as the docs will allow.
Stay on top of the pain meds at least initially. Once it starts to be excruciating, it's a little late to knock the edge off.

I am specifically looking at the Bambu Labs H2S.
I want the larger bed to build cosplay stuff for my daughters and maybe even for me (I've wanted a set Mandalorian armor for many years).
If not for wanting to print the larger items, I would definitely order the P2S and save a lot of money.
The P2S has a 10" x 10" x 10" print area.
The H2S has a 13.38" W x 12.59" D x 13.38" H print area.

My wife had one.
If they go through the front, she says it is minimally invasive and could be closer to the two weeks.
If they go through the back (which they did in her case) expect closer to six weeks or possibly longer.
She had four or five vertebrae roto-rootered.

I'm on my 3rd #D FDM printer, this one is a Anycubic Kobra and I am very pleased with it. FDM printed stuff is a bit more rugged than resin. Also, odors can be a problem, especially with the resin printers. I printed this up for a game the other day, the base is 30mm so you can get an idea of the detail possible with FDM, resin will turn out even better detail.
Not familiar with that printer.
The Bambu Labs have a couple of different nozzle sizes; .2mm, .4mm, .6mm, and .8mm.
Are you using a smaller nozzle for that detail?

Been running a Bambu P1S printer since last September and added another in December. Both of them are set up with a pair of AMS 2 Pros and a single HT. They've both been running almost nonstop since setup printing things for the wife, grandson, shop, reloaders, or range. Although you can find a ton of things on line that are ready to print, there will be times that you'll need to design a part yourself. A lot of folks will recommend using TinkerCAD but I found it frustrating. I'm currently learning Fusion 360 and it makes much more sense to me.
Fair warning about 3D printing . . . it can be a bottomless rabbit hole. My intention when getting the first machine was to simply use it to print a few things that were needed around the house. That all changed once I discovered how useful they can be, especially if you can create your own designs.
Do you find yourself using the same type of filament for most projects? Any filaments that you find particularly useful for a specific project?

Interesting new lever gun
in SASS Wire Saloon

Several years ago Michael Bane did a feature on one of these (in 460 S&W IIRC). The action looked to be really stiff and he had to really work it to get it to cycle.
