Looks like they are all touching to me, closer to .308 inches center to center.

Re: Pretty Good Day
A slip on or lace on recoil pad might be another option. I use the leather lace on style on my Contender carbines to get a bit more LOP I like. I get these from Buffalo Arms. Do a great job of reducing recoil, too, when shooting one of the big boomers on the carbine.Mistered wrote:This is literally the tightest group I have ever shot with a 30-30.Very impressive groups, especially with that 30-30.
I attribute it to the ammo, gun, narrower aperture for the sight and maybe not particularly important but I have been figuring a way to increase the LOP on this rifle as the stock was a bit short for me.
Well i have been thinking of ways to 'lengthen' the stock but in the meantime I was scrounging around through my gun junk and found an older Winchester plastic buttplate and it fit perfectly over the top of the steel one the stock so it added about a 1/2" which really helped.
I could still use about another 1/2" so this winter I'll fab a piece of 1/2" brass flat bar into an extension and with the plastic Winchester butt plate will be about right.

Re: Pretty Good Day
I m seriously considering fitting a brown, hard rubber solid style butt pad on it. The stock is not the original (nor is the steel butt plate) so its not like I will be dealing with any value issues. I wont be altering the stock so if I ever wanted to put the steel butt plate back on for any reason I could.A slip on or lace on recoil pad might be another option.
Maybe something like this.

Re: Pretty Good Day
Do you eat jackrabbit? I know some do and most don’t. I’ve never eaten it but should try it sometime. Although that’s dependent on what the jackrabbit has been eating lol.Mistered wrote:And Jackrabbits on the desert this winter!!Looks like pine cones and forest targets could be in trouble.
BTW, great shooting!
