    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

    Finally got my lithgow .22lr almost to where I want it.
    I changed the trigger spring but still not down to 2lbs so will have to get someone who actually knows what they are doing!
    So have got it threaded for an over barrel Dan can and a custom bolt knob and trigger spring kit.
    I nearly buggered up the nightforce custom rail as had been looking on line and people were talking 55moa rails so decided to run with that.
    I had an 5x20 shv but couldn't get it zeroed any closer than 60 yds with subs as only had 90ish internal, I ended up putting an nxs 5.5x22 x50 with zero stop on top with a nf bubble level.
    I now can get a 50 m zero with a bit underneath and just checked the internal elevation at 102 moa with 20 in the reticle.
    Some would say overkill, I say I could!
    A big shout out to nightforce Australia for a bloody nice job on the rail and their awesome scope!
    Just zeroed it with some hornady 40g roundnose running at 1070 on the box so will be in for a validation session as reasonably pleased with the cheapish ammo's performance.
    Looking forward to some great plinking fun!

    Nice set up on the 300WSM . What projectile are you running? What speed are you getting out of the 20"?

    Was thinking similar but was unsure on running 20".
    Cheers.

    Thanks, calibre is in .308 - Specs here

    I'm in the process of reducing some of my collection, some of which I don't really have much of a choice now... But fear not, I have a couple of LR rigs similar to this that I will keep. I'll be sure to post them here.

    Nice man. I'm considering doing a similar build with the confiscation funds. Where did you source the barrel?
    Shot it yet?

    Im pretty sure a cop would require a change of undies if he saw that. That would classed as one of those "evil" guns just because of its looks

    Got the barrel from Steve at burly arms
    He had plenty in stock probably still dose
    I have shot the rifle with a factory trigger seems to be very accurate
    Will be even better now I have the kidd trigger

    Get the Kidd cocking lever and spring kit, these are excellent at tuning the action timing.
