Oh, and bed the recoil lug - it will be hanging in thin air.
Mine went from borderline accuracy to very reasonable, my mate that I shoot with has had similar experience with his..... gluing his existing mounts made the difference.

Stunning wee truck gun - love it, has certainly been a good way to ease the round count on my main rifle without spending the earth.
Story coming soon, last weekend certainly filled the freezer.

Just bought one. The previous owner had bedded it nicely, floated the barrel, cleaned up the trigger, smoothed the bolt operation etc. All I had to do was change those ghastly mounts ($20 the pair) Took it to the range and it shot great, better than I can shoot it basically. All was well until it broke the goddamn extractor! If anyone has one lying around getting in the way (haha) I will buy it off you!

Ohhhh not good - I've heard of this happening before...... if you do find somewhere that stocks them, please let me order one at same time!!! Definitely keen to have one in my spares.
I managed to get over enthusiastic with my grinding on the bolt to clear the scope and weakened the bolt handle so it snapped off..... weld weld weld - better than new.

One bunny,shattered its skull with .22

Had a standed day out the farm cleaning up a few goats for dog food 11 in total

Good work dale.

6 bunnies and a hedghog on Friday evening in the lucerne. A couple of the rabbits were splashed with the HMR, the rest with the 22.

The hare today. I refer to him as "the hare" as I have seen him in the same area regularly and tried to get close with the subsonic 22 but he had gapped it every time I've tried. So today, I got out the hmr and drilled him from about 200. No point claiming him as it wasn't a head shot so lucky local hawk but I win in the end

Is his rangefinder ever sober?

It was a young juvenile Magpie that landed on the barrel causing the rifle to slip and impale itself up the Magpies ring piece. Dundee tried to shake it off but accidentally loaded and pulled the trigger which blew the Magpie 3.8 metres from the barrel where upon Dundee walked away 97 metres and got his range finder out.

Good afternoon with both 17s the HMR and the Hornet, shot my first reloads in anger and scored 7 kills, longest 189 metres so happy. The Hornet deals to them. 16 rabbits, 1 hare and a magpie!
