I'm finally about done with my 14 year old sons 7x57..just in time as we leave for our colorado elk hunt next week and the boy needs a little trigger time.
I only had 4 handloads sitting around so after getting it on paper pictured is the first 3 shot group. At 7/8" I think it's showing a bit of promise.
the specs:
mid 50's M70 fwt action
krieger cm fwt barrel @ 23"
talley barrel band
williams 1pc BM
bansner stock w/decelerator pad
talley 1pcs lwt mounts
leupy 4x33
it weighs 7lbs 8.3 oz. as shown
Lee did the barrel, chambering and action work, eddie did a great job on the cerekoting.
I bedded it and painted the stock.
