When you're a dumbass, you sell good stuff for dumb reasons, and sometimes the good stuff finds it's way back to you.
The stock from this rifle....
Made it's way back to me, and I dumped a Stainless Steel 700 7mm Rem Mag into it. I didn't even bother rebedding in an effort to save some time and hassle, and I fortunately lucked out in that-the rifle shot great today.
Dogshooter, his friend Steve, and myself ran through a short course of small steel targets from 250 out to 633 yards today which proved to be a good little test for the gun and my rusty shooting. Standard load of 66gr of IMR-7828, CCI-250s, and a 162 A-Max kissing the lands pounded everything I pointed it at, and was a great break from class and work.
Oddly enough, I could not find a ladder anywhere out there.
I'll get off my soap-box now... just thought the whole thing to be kind of funny.
