Well the Withworth express rifle in 458 win mag is back home after a little trip to the smith Gary Flach for some work. You might remember that one as I had issues with rear and front sight not wanting to stay on, well he fixed that and even added a front sight band to make sure it stays on( and plus it really look good) but before that I had him chop the barrel to 21” not too short not too long and it looks fantastic, he reinstalled everything and ceracoated the barrel black( I don’t really like the look and feel of ceracoating but that is the way it is). He adjusted the trigger to a better feel, not perfect cause those triggers are not perfect lol.
I put it back together now and remounted the scope a nice B&L Balvar 1.5-6 with a good 3.5” of eye relief.
The entire thing right at 9lbs, add a sling that I will make this week and load it up and I should be a hair under 10lbs, a bit light for a 458 win mag but it will do!
I will try and go to the range tomorrow to re zero it and see how much velocity I lost.
