    Near the end !

    Got the action out of the bedding last week. Cleaned up the edges and also made a couple of ferrules for the action screws do that it is metal on metal contact.

    Torqued the barrel, trigger and bases back on.

    Starting with prep for painting now. Made up a stand to carry it inside between coats, the workshop is way too dusty to leave it drying in there.

    Making tape came off today, coz the rifle is being put back together for some load testing before final paint.

    Total weight (ready to shoot, including bipod and scope) at the moment is bang on 8.0 kg ! FTR limit is 8.25, so it might need to go on a bit of a diet if I get a heavier scope....

    A new problem is that it does not fit into my safe with the but pad wound out new barrel is 4 inches longer than the previous one.

    Did some test firing on Tue morning, nothing exploded and I still have all my fingers

    Relieved a bit of the stock behind the bedding area.

    Second primer coat on, just repeating a cycle of prime check for imperfections, spot fill, sand and prime again.

    Done more testing today.

    All 5 shot groups @ 100yds, looking promising.

    Depending on where you are a club might have a good FTR gun, Ive used Petone's FTR gun, easily capable of winning events ie 50.10s at 1000yds (though I think I'm on 49.6 or 49.8).

    Yes, great looking result.
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.
