Yup and loving it. It did need a bit of tutu-ing @tikka - but most of that was playing to my OCD - stiffening the fore-end of the stock, lightening and taking creep out of the trigger all really easy do yourself stuff and next once I've got Mark at Waitaki to do the custom overbarrel supressor I'll glue and screw the final bedding in for it (nathan Foster style) just like yo do for a Accuracy International stock. I understand that's how to get the best out of it.



From the firing different projectiles I was well impressed with the grouping of the lehigh 196 ME rounds as they were second in grouping accuracy onlybehind the 125 Sierra match kings that I expected to use for the benchmark. The Hornady Whisper 208 factorys were slightly worse.

Now gonna have to make up my mind what to do with the Troy PAR in 300 with a same 16" nitrided barrel but 1:8 vs 1:7 for the Ruger - next project or flick it on ???
