Title: Adding a rear bead to my shotgun
Post by: The100Road on November 03, 2013, 06:48:46 PM: I was looked at some "how to" videos for adding a rear bead to the vent rib of my weatherby PA-08. It looks like i might get in over my head if i attempt to do this. any of you guys ever done it before? Or have any recommendations on a good gunsmith that can do this for me? What kind of price would i be looking at?

Thanks.

When I pull up on a bird out in the duck blind (wearing waders and coat and stuff) if i see red, I know im not lined up.
