    Might bring it to frighten a wobbly next time we're down your way after a salmon.

    Started off on the 338 trip with a little caution, went cheaper with a rem 700 . Its a keeper it so spent some cindy bucks on a defiance and Hawkins upgrade.

    Gave the Bergara s birthday with some better optics, picked up a monarch 3 2.5-10×42 BDC from here, suits the rifle perfectly.

    Well after a few delays finally got the WSM back, it's now done to my satisfaction.
    Just had the bolt fluted by gunworks also had a cup bedded into the fore to accept the javelin spartan bipod I picked up.
    Previous work:
    Standard sako A7 action
    Finnlight barrel
    Stug stock
    Graystone titanium muzzle brake
    Lightened factory trigger

    This thing is shooting bug hole groups a 100 yards, it is as close to a carbonlight as I will own. It's a keeper and will be on the hill as often as family life allows.
    Again big thanks to @Ryan_Songhurst @stug @matagourie and Gunworks for making this possible

    That's very cool. What's the recoil reducing device like? Effective?

    Light is good.

    You are shooting 145 eldx, eh?

    Its great cartridge.

    Yup 145eldx, I'll be honest the gunworks brake was better at recoil reduction but the finnlight barrel was a different thread so I was looking at having to buy another one as it couldn't be re threaded without taking an inch off the barrel and @matagouri came to my rescue with the graystone brake.
    The graystone one is still very effective and being titanium it's lighter too, it's a pussy cat to shoot so long as your wearing hearing protection.

    Nice break. I got a titanium radial brake with a rifle I bought not long ago. No idea who made it but was going to throw it in the parts bin and just use it bare or with a supp.
    Has to be one of the better ones I have used. Not too obnoxious and can keep the crosshair on target at all ranges if everything is setup right.

    Have been away for a while. Finally got to have first rounds with the "HK" 416 22. Given that it's not actually manufactured by HK, I'd personally not consider it as such. Out the box it feels very light compared to the real deal, which it would obviously. Barrel is a pencil type contained within a sleeve, another factor that contributes to its light weight but in the greater scheme of things, it's only going to be slinging .22LR so functionally speaking, an AR standard thickness barrel is superfluous in my opinion.

    +:

    * Cost
    * Build quality
    * ~250rds of CCI standard velocity sent downrange with zero malfunctions of any sort
    * Accurate
    * 1/2x28 thread

    -:

    * Standard trigger is, to quote a friend, "AIDS" - unnecessarily heavy and a lot of creep
    * Paddle bolt-release is notional only
    * Dust cover is a completely different colour to the rest of the rifle for reasons unknown

    Recommend? Yes.

    Does it lock open on empty Ryan?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
