Sorry to hear of your injury........
I'd imagine this kind of good stuff won't last long.

Don't be hasty and do something you'll regret! Any chance of swapping around for a lighter rifle to reduce the strain? Reminders of my misspent youth influence my equipment choices, shooting posture and exercises (no snickering) but it doesn't stop me.

edgrat, I agree with Blaubear (I know BB hard to believe isn't it :D ). I hurt my back a few summers ago and was on the floor for weeks the first thing they told me was no more motorcycle riding (Trials) and give up Silhouette shooting and I probably would need surgery. The short story, physical therapy, rest and being careful had me up a shooting again in months. Gave up the Trials bike and it still catches me at times now so I'm careful at those times. Don't get discouraged and give PT and rest a try before you sell everything.

Let me see some pictures..PLZ

Hello, I shoot a finnfire too and am always on the look out for cool stuff. Shoot me some pics of the stock (what barrel is it inletted for?) and is the trigger for the Finnfire also?

I'll go with Bob and BB...having been thrown from and run over by an airboat on land 14+ years ago and being told that I would need surgery within 10 years by 3 ortho's and 2 neuro's, still haven't had surgery, still shoot, still work, and am extremly careful with what pain killers I take...basically none except in extreme circumstances. PT, ice packs, heat pads, chiropractic care and caution in doing certian things ( I don't play the accordian anymore) has allowed me to keep on going.

I appreciate the well wishes everybody :) No fear I shall return once I am healed but my ADD would never allow me to keep this stuff AND sleep at night. I can always re-tool at a later date when i am back up and running ;)

Damn Isaac...I'm a day away from finishing this custom Sako Finnfire trigger guard for you and you are already trying to sell it ?

It's okay, it happens all the time in my business....we;;, not really. Perhaps, That is why no other sane type of machine shop business owner would touch a one part job job like this. They are in business to actually make some muny !

No disrespect intended.....Get well soon...This injury of yours would at least explain why I have not been getting the numorous e-mails per day that I normally get from you...M.
