Nice work! I like how you are able to tell what stock you were basing the design on, but the stock is different. Really makes it your own.
How do you feel overall about the rifle?
Thanks!
I like the rifle.
The low scope rings arrived yesterday. Mounted the scope and first zeroed with a laser bore sighter.
Then zeroed the scope with some JSB 25.39gr pellets.
Ten shots with the JSB's
Ten shots with cast 47.5 grain bullet unsized and not sorted.
The trigger is light and crisp. It needs a shoe on to the improve the tactile feel of it for me. I will design and make one to take care of that for me.
I am really happy with the rifle and look forward to more shooting with it.
Seeing how our high temperature yesterday was -3 degrees, I was shooting indoors at 15 yards so accuracy hole on hole on hole.
Looking forward to spring!
I was using the single shot tray. At one point I decided to see how my cast bullets worked with the magazine. To remove the single shot tray I used a small screw driver to spin it and flip it out of the action. And as though David Copperfield was there I flipped it out and the thing just disappeared.
I didn't see it fall from the action, but it had to have fallen. Looked all over the bench, under every peice of gear I had on the bench, all over the floor. Crawling around on my hands and knees. It is just freaking GONE! After 40 45 minutes trying to find the damn thing I gave up, and decided to just put the rifle away and go order a new one.
As I was handling the rifle to put it away I heard a little rattle.
Pulled the bottom metal off. When I was trying to spin and flip it out, it had fallen into the lower part of the action. Needless to say I was relieved to find it, but felt rather dumb at the same time.
