My new custom from Rick at ATRS

A one-piece can put tension on the receiver if the receiver or even if the base is out of spec and doesn't match perfectly (I've heard this can string your groups, but who knows). Rick made sure my receiver was in spec so I could have went with the one-piece, but in my case I don't need all that extra room. Plus I get a bit more hand clearance to the camber....So really it boils down to personnel preference in my case.

I think the two piece makes it looks much nicer and old-school and is a fine departure from one-piece bases that you see on every Tom, #### and Harry's rifle. If I were you, I'd go with the olive type barrel colour others were referring to, but only if done through a chemical colouring process (like blueing) vs. paint... Otherwise, stick to the stainless.

Did you find the cause of your stringing? I'm noticing you're getting vertical for some groups and horizontal for others...

Was a little tough to figure out if it was indeed stringing vertically at 100, I blame my own shooting and not the rifle. At 200 it was a bit easier to see and there was no vertical variation at all, only horizontal. So no, I don't think there was any vertical stringing at all.
