Another shot.  Chamber rough in.  I was so busy paying attention I really didn’t take any pics.  I’ll take some when I get home of it all before I screw it together.

Ill be hitting it with BBQ black for the “season” and breaking it down this fall for a real paint job. 

 

If you paint that barrel ....You don't have a hair on your ass.

Keep it bright.  Are you the new kind of ninja?

It's for shootin' not showin'

Gonna build yourself a ghillie suit too?

Excellent should be good 'till a grand on steel.  20 MOA base?

You know even with 20 MOA base I ran out of elevation on a NF Benchrest. Gotta hold over about 2" at 800.

Yes.  

20MOA Weaver base.  The bore was clocked so with the right bullet/powder it should reach out.  Unfortunately he had to trash his throating reamer so I will have to check how far out I can hang the bullets.  I have some rounds loaded up and may need to take them apart.  We'll see.

"Bore was clocked"? Explain not familiar with the term.  

Check the throat, may consider a uni-throater if you need a little more.

No bore is straight. They all have a curve. Clocking means the barrel is set up so it shoots up. Not left/right or down.

All done. 

Headspace checked. GTG. Hoping to get out to shoot Monday.

Barrel is 25" +/-.  Started as a 27" and about an inch off both ends.  

Not that anyone asked, but I just weighed the rifle and it came in at 15lbs.  Legal for FT/R.  Looks like I'm gonna be shooting this summer.  

Thanks for the kind words.

Need Range report!

[Bully 749]

77gr Federal Gold Medal Match on a windy day. Both are 5 shot groups off a bipod/sock bag. I think with some load development I could have a winner. 

The gun shot flawlessly. The trigger has been shot before so no surprise there. The action cycled smoothly. I did not shoot from a mag. I shot off a single shot sled. Worked like a charm. With the massive pipe, recoil was essentially non-existent. All in all, I’m thrilled with the build and components. 

[Rob0115 1,105]

Excellent.

Thanks.  I have test ammo loaded and ready to go.  

I took the FGMM to the range to burn it up.  I bought it to take to Michigan with me and we never got the opportunity to test fire the rifle.  Seems to do the job.  

[Bully 749]

Getting closer. There’s always that one tho...

I have much to learn from Topher. It’s unfortunate for him I have his number and a plethora of questions.. 

I apologize in advance!
