Reeder Custom Guns - Hey Jim, rainy day project….

I hated to run off with that bog-tripod I let the boys use to hold their rifle. You need to make them some “kid sized” African shooting sticks! The support really helped them. When they get bigger they can use them sitting. Lol

That Bog-tripod was silly expensive but I use it for shooting,chronographing, and video. Really handy.

I will spend some time in the shop .. may come up with something for them that we can use in the backyard. They like shooting the single shot .22 and the Ruger 10/22.

But the gun was longer than me and weighed about 10% of what I did. It was hopeless to try to hold it straight and align the sights, I had about 1/2 a second.

The "pod" allows it to rest and I could turret around. In my safe I have an original Medford, OR first run Chipmunk .22 that weighs less than 3 lbs. I put a 4X scope on it that's light too. They originally had Douglas barrels on them. I wish I had brought it for those boys to shoot. I think about 35 yrs. ago I mortised the wood under the butt and hid the original peep sight! I need to check.

It's a little big for them but they will grow into it. They both like shooting it.

Jig, is the one Brownell’s sells? It would be fun to make a few “Boys” rifles from some old beaters. I have an old .410 bolt gun someplace too that might be fun. As a 5-6 yr. old I remember the .410 bruising my shoulder! A 20 about knocked me cold!

Midway did not have theirs at that time for some reason. I think it's the same thing.

Hey Jim, rainy day project….

Rains setting in tonight .. all day tomorrow

I remember as a kid, wanting to pull that trigger

The Model 67 I got from Gary and cut down for them works OK

Makes me want to mod one. The dovetail

I got the jig from Dixie Gun Works
