    Ranged a rock at 150 meters, scratched an aiming mark on it , cranked the scope up to a massive maximum of 9 power , let rip 2 shots that went into the same hole basically.
    Worked out that they were hitting about an inch high at that range , thought thats good enough for today ( where I was going a long shot is 150-200 metres) .
    The weather and high rivers didn’t play the game , after 3 days I called it quits and went down the Sounds .
    I burned up another 10 rounds checking the zero properly on paper this time and only changed things by 3 clicks .
    I realise now I didn’t take any pics of those targets , but it easily shot 20mm groups and those will get better with more trigger time . Greg did load development for me and loaded up 100 rounds and I’m fairly sure he shot groups in the 14mm - 15mm range , which goes to show he’s a much better shooter than me
    The only other thing I’ve added is a new bolt handle .
    Who made this stock please?

    I picked this Lithgow SMLE No 1. MK III* up from a forum member.
    I’m going to debubbfy it, ie restore it back to full wood.
    As you may know, the replacement SMLE wood is hard to find.
    I have a repro set on order and a permit request in for the missing parts.
    In the meantime I took it to the range yesterday and fired it for the first time.
    First iron sights shot with factory S&B 150gn softpoints was 2 inches left and 1 inch low.
    The rain then came down and my next shots dropped a bit, but she’s going to be a good’un.

    Sako L461 action has been cerakoted not the original vixen barrel but is a borofs steel sako one think I'll get it cerakoted to match. I had forgotten how nice the vixen is!! I've always been a fan of the A series but think the L461 is just that bit more special.
