      Looking for a smith to do Taylor Throating on a couple of revolvers.

      And PS, 239, in case you're an old hot-rodder like me, be advised that BBC no longer means Big Block Chevy....

      PSOD, this would be great, if you'd check into this for me. I really appreciate it! Carmel and nearby would be fine. -Dave-

      Benchrest?

      Hawkeye, thanks for the info, I'll definitely be looking you up. Thanks for all of the work you do; it's the future of our sport! Gotta say, the .22 "long range" is sounding better and better!

      Benchrest?

      Thank you Goodcat! Gotta look into that Connorsville range. I'm starting to see that there are several places in Indiana to shoot long range. People just don't talk about it much. I guess it's kind of an obscure hobby, in terms of numbers of people who do it. I sure wish I owned a large chunk...

      Benchrest?

      Thanks guys, good points. Boilermaker, I AM interested... My target gun is a Savage Model 10FP. It was originally a .223, but now has a Shilen barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor. Everything else is stock. To me it seems heavy, but I haven't weighed it. Based on what I see some guys shooting, maybe it...

      Benchrest?

      I've been curious about Farmland. My wife's from Winchester originally. I went to Thunder Valley Precision ( https://thundervalleyprecision.com/ ), where Tom Sarver put on a 1,000 yard benchrest course. It was a freezing cold, windy day, and I learned a lot. I was so thrilled just to be on the...

      "You had to see it to believe it!" experiences.

      The first police substation I worked out of had 3 bullet holes that I remember going through lockers, walls, and break room equipment.... When we moved to the new substation, there was a stern lecture about firearms safety, with dire results promised for any mistakes. One of my academy mates...

      "You had to see it to believe it!" experiences.

      Here are three from my college days, when I shot at an excellent little gun store / indoor range in Bloomington, Indiana. #1 Owners of the store appeared to be brothers, possibly of the Korean War era. Cool, no-nonsense, no-BS kind of guys. A younger employee (hereafter referred to as "the...

      Indianapolis or north would be a plus, if you know anybody.

      Benchrest?

      From my searches through this forum and Google, it doesn't appear that benchrest shooting has much traction in Indiana. If I'm missing something, please let me know; I'd love to find a central site for that info. I just get individual clubs, state conservation ranges, etc. I did some 1,000 yard...

      Greetings from Monticello.

      Thanks actaeon! Weirdly, there's no "attach file" link on THIS screen, but when I'm on the other areas (like the thread you linked me to), the link is there. I see exactly what you mean, and I tested it, and it works, so thanks again.

      Greetings from Monticello.

      Hey, quick question.... I see that the only way to post pictures is to do so via a URL. Is Photobucket the only service that does this? It seems like all the photos I see have the giant PHOTOBUCKET!!! logo obscuring the picture. (So annoying.) If there are other services, what are the good ones...

      Greetings from Monticello.

      Thanks guys! I have a nice patio and a firepit down by the river; hopefully sometime you'll come over for some meat on the smoker, and tall tales by the fire! Autumn is usually best for those things; spring and summer are so unpredictable. You're still welcome to fish from my pier any time. Go...

      Greetings from Monticello.

      Thank y'all, I am humbled! (As a former Texan, I'm allowed to say y'all!) I'll try to let you know, Mij! I live right on the Tippecanoe. Last year, the small mouth bass were back in force. I guess the Asian Carp ate themselves out of all the greenery, and left the area, because the water down...

      Greetings from Monticello.

      Sounds good, and I'm glad to help with any advice I can provide. I'm pretty new to rifles, but had a lot of handgun experience over the years. I was a firearms instructor for ISP, and Defensive Tactic instructor in Dallas. If it's not against the rules to post outside links, here's a thread I...
