I wanted to show you fellers a 7 mag I built with Burris' new Veracity on top, but obviously I'm dumber than a caveman because "The Ultimate Guide to Posting..." does not at all jive with what I find in Photo Bucket. If you're interested, and have some easy to follow advice, I'd love to post a couple.
Thanks.

Thanks to Rick W for posting my pics (below). I will conquer Photo Bucket! Maybe not today, but...

I really think that paint job accents the stainless and black hardware on the rifle very well. Specifically, the rig is a 112 7mm Rem Mag, varmint contour barrel, Timney trigger, Boyd's Pro Varmint stock (pillar and glass bedded). The scope is a Burris Veracity 4-20x50 E1 FFP in Millett rings on a EGW 20 moa rail. I purchased a 12"x12" sheet of 1/8" thick Kydex to make the cheek rest (very simple).
I wanted a bit of grip texture on the stock, so I painted it with Valspar Stone and then added two coats of Minwax Helmsman exterior polyurethane. The feel of the stock is fantastic.
The stock barrel, which is 1:12 is not quite fast enough for my preference, but with it shooting as well as it does (1/2 moa consistently) I think I'll probably wait til it's shot out before I order an OEM. The rifle shoots two loads equally well: 1) Hornady 154 gr SST and 63 gr IMR4831; 2) Berger 168 gr VLD (hunting) with 64 gr IMR4831. At 800 yds the Bergers group very well.

Pics of Old Medics rifle. He'll have to give the specifics on stock, barrel, bases, & optic.

I simply tried to follow the directions on this forum on how to post pics through Photo Bucket. I opened a tab, Googled Photo Bucket, signed in, and uploaded photos. And at that point is where I am at a loss as to how to get the pics from Photo Bucket to this forum. I hope that answers your question.

From your album page in photobucket, click on the picture you'd like to insert into a thread. Once that loads, you'll see a little chain link near the top. Select that chain link and a window will open. That window will say "photo links" on the right side. Click on the one that says "IMG" and it'll load the link into your clipboard. You can then paste that link into your thread post and your picture will be inserted into the post.

Part of the issue may be that the WYSIWYG editor may need to be turned on.

It's been a while since I posted a pic, and when I went to post those above I noticed that mine was not on.


Go up to the very top of the frame where it says, Welcome, (your user name)
To the right of that you should see My Profile and then Settings.
Click on Settings.

When the new window opens, look on the left side, Within the box labeled My Settings"you will see a link called General Settings.
Click on General Settings.

Scroll down until you see the section called Miscellaneous Options (probably the last section).
Under Message Editor Interface, click the button that says Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing

If the WYSIWYG is not enabled, you can't even cut and paste a picture.

'Preciate it. I felt a little iffy about whether that Valspar Stone would be too rough, but after two thick coats of polyurethane the texture and feel is great. Took a while to dry though.
