Did the now stock improve accuracy at all?

Very nice, Rich. Image

Does that beast weigh any less now than when we saw you at the range ? I'm pretty sure that's the only 13 lb. rifle I've ever shot. Image

It's up to 13.5 by the bathroom scale.

The stock still need bedded. Probably do that this afternoon.

I shot it for the chrono. My pet loads are pretty stable.

That's a far cry from getting all of us to shoot it just so you'd have once fired brass to mess with. Image



You've come far, Pilgrim. Image I'm glad it's all coming together for you. Image

It started off as a 3/4" shooter.
I got .3s pretty consistantly before the stock swap.
Wonder what it will do when I get a Pac-Nor barrel?

BTW if you are in the neighborhood let me know and we'll shot it again.

It will work, but you may have to shoot it as a single shot and get a different bolt head.

That is a mag cartridge so I can't use my bolt face? Is the dia. larger than a 30-06 at the base?
