Finally shipped em all off to Shaen to have him do his thing. As usual his work looks great. Defiance AnTi Bart 1-8" CF Rem Varm at 20" Hawkins DBM Hawkins rings TT Diamond LRHS 3-12 Should kick a bit with 180 ELD's. Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

It shouldn't be too bad. It's about the same weight as a garden variety hunting 30-06, and the 30-06 burns more powder and tosses 180 grain bullets faster.

Nice rings. Can’t remember now why I decided to change. Shaen bedded a 20 MOA rail on mine, then cut out the section over ejection port. Don't speculate when you don't know, and don't second guess when you do.

Speaking of rings, how is the bolt clearance on the LRHS? This was an older anti without the extra downturn - yes?
