who fluted your barrels? I have an Encore with two barrels and I couldn't find anyone willing to do the fluting.

If Our friend akaroa does not do it, Dpt will :-)

By the way, Bergara is chambering their single shot rifle in 6.5x65r I beleive ;-)

Maybe !

Had a wee play with the G1 this afternoon
Made a quick takedown screw
Quite different to the G2 one on right



The G1 frame stock bolt spigot is very different
But it works well



Built up the cheek piece with some bubble plastic to get a better cheek position so I can work out a perminant solution



Sighted it in 20mm high at 50m

And it started raining again
So won't be going for that walk with it now

Ill raise Bill an extra ha, Ha ha ha

Barrel got shortened, threaded a barrel band and heavily fluted now
It's lost 1 pound
Half from being cut to 18"
Half from the fluting
So it should be nicely balanced now because it was horrible with a 23" straight bull barrel
