These are the ones I got, if i'm not mistaken. You can get them with or without the stands. Call them, that's what I did. Brian is a nice guy, willing to help you what you need. Tell him you want the ones scaled to shoot a forty. They have other kits, but I liked the ones with the twisted hangers rather than the flat.

Thank you ! its starts about 40ft. out my back door. Having a few farms and running yellow items with catipillar or case on the name helps a bit :mrgreen: as far as wind goes yes the trees help but on a windy day it is never consitant more of a swirl . IMPOSSABLE to read X( right behind the "fireing" line is my load/gun shope with indoor bench for high power load development. load a few shoot at a 100 m through chrono and take the best load to an area where the cows ain't and shoot at what ever distance you like .

Photography is a lot like silhouette shooting - you gotta hold the camera/rifle still. Maybe you were too cold!
Just my observation.

I'll second that...you'd be hard pressed to find a better hand setting up barrels either. This is Carroll, used to shoot Billings alot before life happened. You by any chance coming down to Ark in April? Maybe get the 'girl' with that BR to come down with you. I'm told she did well with the little thing at the Nats last year.
Mostly Mike and some Robison were most supportive during my 'don't know what I'm building stage", couldn't have done what I did without em. Ask Mike next time you see him about my newfound "smith" down here in Tx.
