Very nice rifle I really like the stock.

Also if you run out of bullets don't worry, you can just stab the person with that 27'' pipe.

Whats the OAL on that thing?
 
Nice rig. A TPS base would drop that scope to a nice height.
 
Well, I took it out and broke in the barrel. I broke it in doing the cleaning after each shot and after 10 did a cleaning after each 3 until 20. I was showing some low pressure signs so I have to play with the seating depths a bit. I may have to reseat the barrel farther forward too as the long bullits are hitting the bottom of the barrel and I can't seem to seat the bullits very long with out them hitting the rifling. Its supposed to be thoated for long bullits, I guess I should check with PacNor to make sure they did. As afr as the groups I didn't really shoot great on account of the break in proccess. I'll have to try again.

Peanut,

If you mean by "reseat" the barrel, adjust the barrel and nut... You can't "reseat" the barrel to adjust its throat length. That is determined by Pacnor's reamer. Adjusting the barrel and nut will only adjust your barrel's headspace..the length between the base of the brass to the shoulder.

Someone will have to lengthen the throat with a throating reamer if it proves to be too short.

I wasn't sure if I seated the barrel rivght to begin with. A guy at the local Gunshop lent me a headspace gauge and the spent shells were bang on so the barrel is set perfectly. I ahve to get the throat lengthened I guess. So much for these pre-fit barrels. Oh well, better too short than too long I guess.
