Very nice rifle and good shooting!

The only thing you are going to kick yourself in the butt later is not threading the barrel when it was being built. You will find very soon once you start shooting with guys using cans that you too will soon want one.

Got an chance to finally shoot this today. Let about 80 rounds go. I have got to say, I am in love with this combo. The scoped tracked well. I was able to get on steel targets out to 650 with minor mil adjustments. Thanks again for all of the info SH.

I have to ask, whose barrel did you use for the build ?
