Old School 611 Posted February 27, 2018 9 hours ago, Bully said: 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?

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Bore was clocked"? Explain not familiar with the term. Check the throat, may consider a uni-throater if you need a little more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeke 5,504 Posted March 3, 2018 Need Range report! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bully 749 Posted March 5, 2018 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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
