Benchrest 10/22

[22forever]

Just about finished this one, only the butt plate to fabricate. Dlask receiver, all Kidd internals, trigger and barrel, Burris Zee rings, Weaver T-36 and a Harrell tuner. Stock is a Don Stith benchrest stock with a 3" wide fore end, maple and walnut laminate, finished with Tru Oil. Not bedded yet as I was excited to try it out and see how it would shoot. The barrel is not tuned yet as I shot with the tuner set at zero. Yes, this one will break the piggy bank to build. Here's a target shot today, 25 yards. Three group average is .117" and the four group average is .130" Ammunition used was Lapua Centre X. I'll wait now till warmer weather to find the ammo it likes and tune the barrel.

Funny, I just emailed him last week. He said no export permit and no plans to get one.

Or 100 yard. Almost seems like a waste to be shooting such a gun and that ammo at 25 yards.
