Default Another Project - Probably not Necessary

As some of you know I am trying to get a Renegade to shoot PRB's at all ranges like an inline with a 3x9 scope on it.

Last week I stripped the rear sight off the gun and installed a tang mounted Lyman peep site. It certainly did help my shooting. But when I got home stripped the barrel out of the stock and cleaned I got to 'thinking' (and yes that can be aproblem for me). since the rear sight is no longer attached to the barrel, when I put this barrel back in the stock how do I know that it will be exactly in the same place it was when I zeroed the gun? It probably will be but I was not happy with probably.

So today I decided I would bed the front of the barrel so that it does have to go back in the same place each time. I also decded that I would use the method that a lot of Ruger #1 shooters do and a method that I saw Cascadedad use on his Neff. I was going to use Blue RVT to provide stability and also somewhat of a recoil (harmonic) cushion.

So on went the project... Tonight it looks like it was a success. When the barrel is inserted into the tang, then down into the stock ond the bed and the wedge pin is installed - there is no movement side to side or up and down at all - can not wait to try it...



Don't uall laugh to loud... Semi must have a rule to cover this...
