All work was preformed by me thanx to many hours of great readin on here an listenin to my peers :)
 
Nice looking rifle. Here are my constructive criticisms:

1) I would get a lower set of rings or a lower QD rail for the SEI mount. Your scope is rather high.
2) Consider a lace-on or strap-on cheekpiece. The SEI cheekpiece would go well with that rifle as would a USGI leather one.
3) It's personal taste, but I find these rifles look better with the GI handguards.
4) You need a target sling ;)

Now for some questions:
- What model leatherwood is that? Have you considered getting optics with target turrets? (not a big deal).
- where did you get your NM rear sight? Hard item to find these days.
-How is the versapod mounted?
 
The Leatherwood is a older M-1000 model with the low turrets with auto ranging hence the one piece design for the ring setup.
The NM sights I got from a buddy that had them layin around in his shop, but the last rear setup I got was from a fella in the states.
The versapod rail just replaces the stock sling setup then I just lok tited the unit in place so it doesnt come loose.
 
She does shoot like a dream couldnt be happier with the results ,I will post some targets later still playin with a few loads to find her true sweet spot.An to see how far I can push things consistantly without the pills being all over the place.
 
Glad the bedding job worked out. I did mine a few weeks ago with JB Weld and I am heading to Olds today to test her out and put some rounds down range with a few pistola's.
