:confused: I really need some advice on selecting a rear bag, I just purchased a used Farley coaxial II rest, it comes with the Farley front rest bag (might upgrade this to a Edgewood) not sure about that either. Anyways I will try to answer some questions of my setup and I’m sure many have...

Im shooting a scoville stock and want to get a mini gator rear bag. Im shooting free recoil and im pretty sure others shooting scovilles or leonard stocks prefer the 3/8" spacing but what about the heigth of the ears and the bag itself?

Good point Jackie, I'll be sure to keep that in mind and again as always thank you everyone who replied, I know these are simple questions for you guys and with me being new to this i appreciate all the help i can get.

Thanks Jerry i should have mentioned that i have neither my gun yet or the bore guide. My lucas bore guide is going to be made in the coming weeks. I was just wondering whats the shortest rod i could use on my 6ppc 22" barrel starting from scratch.

I need to know which dewey rod will be better for my 22" barrel using a lucas bore guide the 36" 40" or 44" action is bat ds which i belive is around 7". Should i go 36" with less flex in the rod or do i go 40 or 44 to ensure that it will be long enough with my bore guide.?

Ordered Just put my order in for mikes bore guide. Thanks to all that replied to my question and for direction.

My question is it possible to order a lucas bore quide in advance before my gun arrives or will i have to wait till i actually receive the gun and measure the bolt diameter etc? The action will be a Bat Ds action if that helps.

Great Story and thanks for sharing Turk. I dont know hardly anyone yet in the benchrest community but after reading your post I'm sure Ed Shilen Left that impression on everyone whos lives he came in contact with. God bless him and his family.

I agree dusty, ill just bide my time, and i can understand buying a used gun to a point but from all the advice ive seen on this forum most everyone says you can expect to rebarrel a used gun and to me i ask myself isnt that the reason i decided to buy a new one in the first place. I mean most...

Yeah i did consider it Dusty but in the end i wanted it with everything that i wanted on it, the action, stock, barrel, not to mention the gunsmith that would do my build.Guess im ah a buy once cry once kinda guy. As for a spare i guess that would be nice but at this point i would rather aquire...

Uhhhhhhh hate hearing that BUT I'm still keeping my hopes up. This is my very first benchrest gun and just ah little anxious to get it. Being a total novice to this game i did learn one thing, some items like rests, stocks, etc you just pay your money and Stand In Line. ?

Not sure about being real close Dusty as i have one thats been there since last November. I can only hope that i have it for this Spring.

Just got the e-mail today that my march ep-zoom shipped. So its safe to say bullets.com got their first shipment in and cleared customs. Now waiting on my gun. ?

Thanks Centerfire. I appreciate your efforts.?

Good information here. thanks guys i really appreciate it.?

Thanks Dusty for sure weight is a factor, i think with my scoville and bat ds action im gonna be ok but if not i'll have my smith take ah smidge off my barrell.?

Uhhhhh changed my mind Geeze the people at bullets.com are gonna think im nuts nah just ah newbie trying to get the best value for his money. I called and changed my order from the straight 40 to the 36x55 ep-zoom. After reading all the replies and getting a long detailed email from a guy down...

I am going to purchase a wilson seater from Sinclairs for my 6ppc which isnt here yet? but in their description they list two different seaters for the 6ppc. One simply states 6ppc and the other one states 6ppc oversized. Im not sure which one i need. My gun will be chambered with a .269 neck...

Went with the straight 40x with the 3/32 dot.?

On the 36x55 EP-ZOOM model can you focus the eyepiece on this model ? Also how does the clarity of the March Straight 40x compare to the above variable. I never looked through a march and just getting started in benchrest and with bullets.com offering 15% off these scopes I think i should take...
