Product Tests and Site Updates :)
Greetings! Just wanted to let you all know of several Product Tests which are underway and also of several Site updates which I have posted.

Go to the link below to see three product tests and reviews (one complete and two in progress) of Bellm and Bellm/VVCG products which I have recently been working on.

Due to the many questions and inquiries that I recieve both public and private regarding forends for Contenders/Encores, I will also be posting more in coming weeks to this Product Tests page on several Bullberry, Factory, and VVCG forend variants which I have been using, and my thoughts as to which amongst the various options are the most effective (the short answer is that the VVCG free-float forend designs are my absolute favorite and that any of the three methods that they use to float the barrel - pillar bedding, single screw hanger bar, or double screw hanger bar, are a vast improvement upon anything else in the industry, though I do have a preference of the three!) Concerning stock work, in my experience VVCG are absolutely the best in the custom T/C Contender-Encore business!

Can't wait until their Synthetic HS Precision style stocks are available for the Contender [Big Grin]

Sean, the site is looking great and I can't wait to see the review on the .223. This .223 wouldn't have a rather "dubious" background at the pond would it? :-)

Why as a matter of fact, it does indeed have a rather dubious background at the "puddle" (hard to call it a pond anymore given it's reported drop off in swimmers). [Big Grin]

It has been an especially fun barrel to test, and dispite it's also rather questionable lineage (Shilen, or more likely due to number of groves etc a Wilson by simple and honest mistake) it is VERY accurate [Smile]

All the details will be in the next update!

I always liked live whole fish for bait for the big ones, catfish that is. They run with it, happily suck on, and eventually I set the hook. Love playing with them.

When the water in the puddle gets low, the big cats have no where to go.

To each his own. You can keep your stink bait.
