Went With Frank Yesterday To Pick Up His Deer Rifle ...

at the Gunsmith in Stephenville, TX. It looks like he did a good job accurizing the Kimber Montana. He re bedded the stock and worked to smooth and lighten the trigger pull. From the looks of the target, it appears the rifle is now capable of shooting consistent 3 shot groups.

Frank Bought A New Shooting Rest Yesterday ...

I talked to the gunsmith the other day and he is through with work on Franks deer rifle. He re did the glass bedding of the stock and re floated the barrel. He also did some work to lighten and smooth out the trigger pull. The gunsmith said he shot the gun at 75 yards and was able to get three shot groups of less than one inch. Looking forward to seeing what the gun will do on the 100 yard range.

About Me

Name: JDP

Location: Fort Worth, Texas, United States

I am 61 years of age, married with two children, a son age 31 and a daughter age 28. I was forced to retire in 2001 due to health problems. I was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy a short time later. I worked for fifteen years in the Insurance Claims business. I then worked for about five years for the State Of Texas Department of Human Services. Being disabled and not working is the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. My respiratory system is weak and I have to sleep and breath with the aid of a Bipap machine and an oxygen concentrator. This has all but stopped me from making overnight trips away from home due to the equipment being bulky and not easy to move and set up. I have for the most part had to give up the things I loved to do the most which were hunting and fishing. I also can't drive my 1983 Jeep CJ-5 any longer because it has a standard transmission. It is now in my son's hands. I hope he takes good care of it. Being disabled sucks. I am taking it one day at a time. My children are a blessing though they can be trying at times. We have an american eskimo dog named Foxy we got from a rescue organization and a stray cat my daughter named White Kitty.
