Finally #2
« on: April 02, 2022, 03:40:15 AM »
I finally finished the forearm after managing to drop it and break one of the ears that covers the frame completely off and having to epoxy it back on. I finally received the Weaver scope rings I had to order for it and  for the last "finally" I mounted and bore sighted the scope yesterday. Now I am waiting on Ma Nature to get it sighted in and start working on a loading for it. Looks like it will be midweek before  a decent day might be possible.  I put it on the scales yesterday afternoon and it weighs an even 11 pounds.

I finally managed to get pictures loaded on my computer. Now I can't get Imgur to find the pictures. I was born far too long ago to deal with computers and their programs.   :'(

I will keep working on getting some posted. I might have to dig out my wife's old window's 7 laptop to get it done.

This one is an Encore, a Contender on steriods, bigger, heavier, and stronger. I bought an Encore barrel by mistake and kept on putting off getting a frame and stock set until they went out of business. I stumbled into a complete rifle with scope in excellent condition at a gunshow recently and got it for less than a frame by it's self is selling for now on the internet. I have always been a Contender fan and currently own one frame and switch out three different scoped barrels on it.
