Re: Fixing cracked wrist on stock?
A length of surgical tubing wrapped tightly around the wrist works better than clamping and won't leave any marks on the wood. I have used a good marine grade 2-part epoxy with this method and it has given very good results. I get as much epoxy in the break as I can and then wrap it tightly with the...

I think I like my Gunsite Scout better also. Great little rifle and surprisingly accurate. Not sure why they went with 30-06 instead of .308, can't see any advantage to the 30-06 in a 14.5" barrel. Plus a modern military round would make sense. I kind of like the orange camo stock though. Hunte...
