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'

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.

Look at that it’s a Bully original.  Shoot that thing let’s see what it can do!

Need Range report!

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. 

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.  

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

Muscle!

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!
