    The next bolt pistol will be a rear-grip design with a much lighter trigger pull that will ride the bags much, mush better. No one will have their nose endangered.

    And maybe I'll actually have it sighted in before the meet. :)

    Hunter if you want something real nice, any other if you just want something twice as nice as a Ruger.

    that aint nooooooooooooo shit! LIGHTER??????????????? :facepalm:

    He could well mean electronic.
    In this case, I don't mean electronic. I mean crap. I have a Canjar Lite-Pull that hasn't been used in decades. It can be safely adjusted to 1 ounce. At that weight, it can't be set off by slamming the bolt closed or bumping the firearm. It's very safe at those light pull weights. However, safety and reliability of the trigger are its only virtues. It's a really crappy trigger when it comes to the way the let-off feels and how well it can be controlled. For a bench gun, though, that's not a big problem.

    For me, too, it has an additional virtue. It's free. It's been sitting in my parts box for a long time and it's about time I put it on something or sell it. Since I also have an action, a chambered barrel, and an aluminum stock for a build, I might as well see if I can get them assembled. Right?

    Is 6 oz. too heavy Ben? Holy cow man.
    No, for that center-grip gun, 6 oz. is about where I like a trigger, whether I'm using it offhand or from position. There's always the possibility of touching a trigger prematurely while setting up for a shot, so I like the trigger of that type of gun to have a bit of weight and feel.

    After watching all the porn his grip gets a little weak
    I started to leave this one without comment and then I realized that people who don't know me well might not understand the timeline of my life. That stuff is way, way in the past for me. Nowadays, my porn is pretty much limited to the odd set of boobies that show up on Game of Thrones.

    I'm replying to this one again just to put out the word - If anybody can find *complete* electronic trigger kits in good condition for Remington bolt guns, I have cash.

    They never sold well when they were offered decades ago and the kits I've seen are usually in bad shape and missing parts.

    I'll consider buying other electronic trigger kits to fit other guns, too. I'm especially interested in talking to any qualified assembler of replacement triggers for Walther pistols, especially if they're capable of reprogramming the EEPROMs involved.

    Holy smokes, I just realized I haven't posted to this thread! A lot of thanks to go around from my end!


    YG, thank you for the shot on the .50. I was not even aware that upper existed. I hope you/LG are able to find a use for that ammo can and the MOE grip.

    Dawico, thank you for the turn on the .338. What is the optic you have on that rifle? Also, thank you for the .30-06 brass (I think that was you).

    Orbitup, I really liked that Model 12. I'm going to have to track one down and see about getting into shooting clays on a regular basis! Also, thank you for shots with the Colt and Smith. That Smith is in excellent shape.

    Scott, thanks for nothing ;) Stuff happens, man! Thank you for letting me borrow it in the first place. And one day, I will get someone with a Single Six.

    Greg, when I replace my Single Six with a New Model, I would like a rematch! Only this time, I'll have a .22 mag cylinder loaded and on standby like I should have had.

    Sugarland, thank you for letting me run a box through your Uzi!

    Wade, thank you for the shots on that sweet 686+ and the Sig 1911. I was very impressed with that Sig.

    To those that brought food, thank you all! That cheddar jalapeno sausage was really good. And a big thank you to Sterling for doing all the cooking.

    I know I'm forgetting someone/something, but it's been awhile and I thought I had posted this already.

    It was me with the brass and you are welcome.

    The scope is a Vortex 6-24x50 first focal plane. Viper maybe? Can't recall but the ffp is very cool if you had a chance to mess with it.
