Steve shows how to have a rifle that is easier to shoot accurately, with little shift in zero, using only hand tools. Bedding techniques demonstrated on three styles of stock. His methods for mounting and lapping in a scope and crowning process will assure you of improved shooting.

I viewed all three of Steve Acker's Gunsmith videos in a weekend and this review applies equally well to all three. My biggest complaint would have to be the camera work and editing.The lathe setups and procedures were mostly filmed from one vantage point and often not close enough to get a good look at what was happening.Often Steve himself was blocking the shot while performing the procedure. The editing was often disjointed in a cut and paste manner with several scenes re-used in all three videos, basically giving the feel that it had been edited by a monkey. Having said that, I found the videos extremely informative with many good ideas on achieving an accurate setup and shop made fixtures for several different accurizing steps. Without a doubt Steve knows what he is doing and I believe he was successful in conveying that information in his videos.
Information and instruction were great but camera angles, sound quality were poor. 5 out of 5 for information but 2 out of 5 for video and audio quality.
