    Very nice.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Spent a bit of time and money getting my Vixen back to original.
    Managed to get hold of some open sights and Sako rings, just need a scope of the right vintage and I’m there.

    Sneak peak of my Mark X Mini mauser I have been tidying up, stripped all the varnish and it has nice wood underneath so I have been furiously rubbing my wood the past few days with linseed oil, a few more days and we should start to look pretty good. Tracked down an original one piece weaver rail for it and put my Burris 4x Mini in some steel QD rings. It's going to be chopped and wearing a dpt on Tuesday

    Ryan, how short are you going to go with the barrel? Any bedding? Have you done anything to the action as their a little bit rough?

    Keen to see how you get on as I was eyeing one up a couple of years ago but in 7.62x39

    The stock was already bedded and I'm guessing its had the old valve grind paste treatment on the action cos I reckon it's a really slick wee action. Its 7.62x39 and I'm going to cut it to about 14-15" so that suppressor sits against the stock. It's a nice wee rifle to point and shoot, really light but doesnt feel like a "toy"
    If I had one gripe it would be nice to have a slightly larger bolt knob, might see what the gunsmith can do about that when I drop it off to get chopped but I dont want to ruin its lines too much

    if its anything like mine dont baby the bolt...be forcefull and you will have few issues.... now is the bolt a controlled feed like a 98 mauser..pre 64 winchester mod 70 or is it a push feed like post 64 with a rail tacked on the outside of the bolt???? Ive got one of each type and the push feed is the smoother and more reliable of the two.
    good to hear its already been bedded as mine were pretty basic from new...the .308 had been played with and was completely BARE under the action eg NOTHING at all in way of bedding so it clunked around and shot accordingly badly...

    This could explain why you feel you need a bigger knob.

    Got a butt plate in much better condition that you can have free and Redfield 4X in great condition that would suit for 130 all up including post.
