I always feel the urge to then explain that building a gun stock is not hard; it only takes time and some basic woodworking skills. Whether it be for your granddad’s worn down hunting rifle or for your custom precision rifle, this article is going to be a walkthrough of how you, the “average joe”, can build your own rifle stock like you have always wanted to.

Although it is possible to shoot with one eye closed it is not the most effective way to shoot a shotgun at moving targets. Starting to shoot a shotgun with one eye is the biggest mistake that anyone who wants to shoot or hunt effectively can do. I personally struggled with this as a young shooter, shooting almost my first two years closing one eye.

I don’t know what started me down the rabbit hole of gun control and racism but I came across this NRA produced video on Youtube. It’s a pretty good primer on the racist roots of gun control.

Fed up with eyeballing and Home Depot bubble levels, I finally reached out to Wheeler Engineering and Straight Shot, LLC. Both companies have designed devices that, ostensibly, take the guesswork out of reticle leveling.

Law Enforcement was one of the obvious target audiences for this gun, and it shows. The 1301 Tactical features a slightly shorter receiver than the 1301 Competition, part of an overall size reduction. The stock is also slightly shorter, offering a 37.8 inch length of pull out of the box.
