I was going more with 'always point guns in a safe direction'...
I imagine it was empty, but it is pointing at someone's house with the bolt closed, and there is a round ready to load in the photo above it. Not trying to be an arse about it but I figure it doesn't hurt to remind people about gun safety from time to time!
No problem. Round was inserted for the photo then removed, cleared, checked and the bolt was then decocked for the rest of the photos. Not that it makes much difference but that was on 24x power and that house was well over 1km away.Quote:

And the metal work

Not sure about the metal work - but that stock looks the business.
What products/method did you use - PM if you prefer.
Have you been DRINKING?
You do the can too?
Not the can it has a carbon fibre look wrap on it. Method was simple as degrease four/five base coats of khaki, then add the olive drab as desired. For the metal work an etch primer was used first. Matt clear coat over top on the stock. As many coats as you want. I use hairdryer in between coats as it dries faster/harder and keeps the finish matt. Paint was rustoleum camo special.

It's a M70 Classic Stainless--used to be a 375 H&H--now a 338 EDGE. Action truing and lapping the lugs by Hart as is the barrel. The 30" BR1000 barrel (1.250x6x0.900 at the muzzle) is where most of the weight is--as you see it--21#. Premier Heritage 5-25x56 mil dot in milrads set in a Near Alphamount on top of a Near base. Watt's extended magazine handles the feed, Atlas bipod, Muscle Magnum 4 Port brake, all in a Manners T5A stock. I was attempting to make a "both shoulder sling-pack" to carry it the short distances I have to, but Len Backus's Long Range Shop just got some in; it's the cat's meow. I think I could carry it over a mile, but I have four great gun cases: my truck, my Honda, my snogo, and my boat and have no need to carry the rifle farther than say, 100 feet. Weight was never a concern. Consistent accuracy is.
Thank you all for your interest; I'm always "gazing on guns" as the wife says and I enjoy looking at rifles here.
how does it group with abit more distance?Quote:

I received the barreled action July 17, put it together, and commenced shooting, testing loads. The safety lever broke and it went in for replacement, a 10 day--I was lucky--halt. I figure by next September I'll have shot it out to a mile, but my goal right now is to shoot at every opportunity and be proficient out to 1200 yards by then. Reality is that serious shooting isn't happening until sometime in May when both light and temperature combine to eliminate the worst environmental conditions making meaningful systematic development possible.
A labor of love--this is the most pleasant rifle I've ever shot--and it's practice, practice, and practice.
This turned up this morning :)

Slick Sako, solid elegance, but then they're made in the home country of the world's most successful sniper!
