    Prepped all the bottom metal rings and screws yesterday, sprayed them Matt black this morn, need to strip the floor plate and re do, has some drips on it, I'll leave it all a few weeks before reassemble to harden- overall pretty happy.

    Yeha mate, from memory it weighs all up with 2-7 scope and sling, maybe 3.4kg.
    Actually just weighed it....less than 3 kegs with scope-without Sling and ammo.

    In my wisdom, I coated the inside of the action- to make it look pretty- bolt extracting is a little more stickier- whoda thought that'd happen ill have to clean out the inside of action- and wanna polish the bolt up more on a bench polisher.
