I emailed the table from my shooter ap on my phone at 5mph then again at 10.
Copied what i wanted into excel then cloured it all. Mucked around with the scale until it was the right size then printed it.
Happy to whip you up something if you wanted

Phew. Way over my head Thats a kind offer.

To float barrel or not? I have a older model in blued sythentic in 7mm08. It gets 3 shot groups measuring 1" at 100yds, using 44.5gn 2209 and 139gn Sierra Pro Hunters. Have had similar groupings with 139gn SST's and 139gn Hornady spbt. Have been shooting off sand bags. It was in near new condition when I aquired it, I doubt it had shot more than 20 rounds or so. After 100 + from me, it still copper fouls badly. Should I lap the barrel? I wondering if I should float the barrel to try and squeeze out any more prescision.

I'd give it a good polish out with autosol first before doing anything else.

They have fore end pressure for a reason. Especially with original barrels.

I wouldn't float it unless buying a new chassis.

I did one with original stock and made it worse. Bedding it helped but once I bought a new stock it shot to its potential.

Others may have had a better experience. I am thinking of buying one for my son. He likes the blaser a bit much but I dont like sharing it.😆

He will have his FAL soon so need to get him his own rifle.

Love the model 7. Make a great first rifle I reckon.

And in GWH's case a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th....

@GWH process for doing that? I seen videos of it done with a parker hale jag with Kroil and autosol.
