7600 Makeover
I made it 14.5" I'm 6'4" and my upland shotgun is 15.5" which is perfect for that kind of shooting. I keep my waterfowl shotgun a little shorter than that because I tend to be wearing bulkier clothing when duck hunting. For this rifle, I wanted it to be long enough that my sight picture was...- Dougfirtree

7600 Makeover

7600 Makeover

The stock on my Rem 7600 (early 80's vintage) was looking a little rough and I wasn't satisfied with the recoil pad I had on it, or with the LOP. I use this rifle for tracking and still hunting when I know...- Dougfirtree

Sunday Pic of the Day
I've heard stories, but never experienced loon thievery until yesterday. An old friend and I carried into some little ponds to fish for Brook Trout and we did well. Twice, I hooked a trout, then saw a huge flash under water and a loon had my trout in its beak. I'd wrestle the trout away, get...- Dougfirtree

Extra Stupid Window Stickers
this VWvan cracked me up. Phish sticker on the back, sunflower dangling off the mirror and then the martial arts stickers on the side. I couldn’t tell who it was when I entered the hardware store…- Dougfirtree
