my '1972 tender in 6.8

[embalmer883]

Tender with pachmayer furniture, and a 8.5" Coyote Barrel in 6.8 Rem Spc. I had just made and filled the bags so the tape was to make sure the shoe goo held and sealed it up.

Cute Little Tender!  What kinda velocities do you get and with what bullets?  Is this just a novelty or do you have a specific use planned for this short toting gun?

I think you will like the 6.8. A good medium power cartridge and gaining in popularity.

I really like the 6.8 Rem...........I have one with a 15" barrel, 3/4" MOA......sweet round.

I put the rifle together first. My wife decided that she wanted to try hunting, so the rifle is what I put together for her. Then I shot it. Wow, light recoil, little clover leafs at 100yrds.

Then I got into the tender thing. Found the barrel on gunbroker and the rest is history. I have shot a 3 shot group at 50 yrds that measured .166 center to center.

Here is a pic of both:

I would like to see a write up on that bag you made with the shoo goo  I hate sewing with am awl. Used to sew up my own rock climbing and caving gear and I just despise the chore.  But I do like to just stick things together. That bag looks nifty   Come on article please. with pichers and circles ad arrows and such for us that can't follow written instructions

Bad News: The bag is sewn. The only thing I used shoe goo for was to seal up the bottom where I filled it. Fairly simple, matter of fact my first attempt at sewing.
