I've helped my buddy out as much as I could, but I'm just a farmboy who's spent my life mucking around hunting on our land. I Any suggestions for someone around DFW?

Aglifter - Is he looking for rifle fit modifications, or does he want to have a stock made? | |||

Aglifter, send jeffeosso a pm and ask him, he's down in the Houston area, but I am sure knows many smiths that could help your buddy out. Joe "I can't be over gunned because the animal can't be over dead"-Elmer Keith | |||

Right now, he's trying to clear his schedule -- so it really needs to be someone in the DFW area... Any suggestions for an instructor?

What does he need to learn about big bore shooting? As for the stock fitting, you might talk to New Guy here on AR. He may be able to help with that. Keith IGNORE YOUR RIGHTS AND THEY'LL GO AWAY!!! ------------------------------------ We Band of Bubbas & STC Hunting Club, The Whomper Club | |||

What kind of instruction??? I have a friend who has used the Beretta Gallery's gunsmith to adjust shotgun stocks. I doubt it is cheap, but... I am still confused as to what he needs and whether he has the rifle yet. How does he know it does not fit? If he is in a hurry, and low on time, that is a bad way to learn to shoot a new heavy kicker... Most of my recent work was done at Tip Burns' shop in Canyon Lake. I was willing to drive down and back in the same day, but it is an all-day deal from Dallas. I did have a comb pad put on by Williamson Precision Gunsmithing in Bedford, but they seemed to have a pretty full schedule. ------------------------------- Some Pictures from Namibia Some Pictures from Zimbabwe An Elephant Story | |||

Monty Kalogeras runs Safari Shooting School in the Mason/Brady area. A number of us were there in June for a DRSS shoot. If he wants practical help in shooting big bores, that might be a way to go. If he needs a "fitting" I would be looking at someplace like Brileys in Houston.

He's probably fine -- it's more that he's usually just borrowed one of my rifles, and said they felt good to him -- which I don't believe, since he's 6" shorter, and of a much lighter build. He's used a rifle, but not a heavy one much, and I think some instruction would be good for his confidence.

A couple of days with Monty would be good for him. Monty has clients bring all of thier equipment and puts them through a two-day shooting Safari. He'll learn quickly how well his rifle does or does not fit, how well it feeds & functions, how well it shoots, how well he shoots (winded, under pressure, at long distance, at short distance, etc...)which equipment is important, which is not. I believe Monty is also having Kevin "Doctari" Robertson host a couple of classes between some of Janary's various safari shows. | |||

Not that I know my ass from my elbow, but having been to Monty's place and spoken with the man, I would not hesitate recommending him. 577NitroExpress Double Rifle Shooters Society Francotte .470 Nitro Express  If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming... | |||
