    Kibler side effect?

    I used to work in a shop with CNC machines. I also admit they were dinosaurs to what Jim is using. One thing I learned is when they got a blink in power outage. Everything was toast, like crash bang boom.. It's not as easy to program as most people think. Plus ours were the old reel to reel...

    Kibler side effect?

    If the gun doesn't fit you. You are not going to be a good off hand shot with it. Why do you think skeet an trap shooters are so particular on how the guns fits..? I like to stalk deer so when I get a chance to shoot I want those sights lined up the second that gun comes to my shoulder. Many...

    Kibler side effect?

    Well I'll be the stinker on the custom rifle quote. With a custom you get your lop, cast off if asked for and other options. Like engraving , carving etc . As long as your lop is 13.5 the kits work very well for most . But for kits on the market that I have finished. Kiblers are the easiest...
