Screwed it together and took it out today to put it through its paces at 100 yards and I likey. 700 Action Hart #4 McM Remington Hunter Jewell 3-12x42 Precision Hunter ![[Linked Image]](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii190/confederatewarrior/BFFEF39D-B573-4880-8A39-E604D516C50C-9932-000008A2926E6F13_zps87baed72.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii190/confederatewarrior/360C613C-5E8D-43E2-81C3-3CE7D66870CD-9932-000008A285B0D7B6_zps7bd6d9fb.jpg)

Teach every child you meet the importance of forgiveness. It's our only hope of surviving their wrath once they realize just how badly we've screwed things up for them.

Well this is one thing I don't dig about the rifle. It is 28". I had thought about spinning it off and rebarreling...until I shot it. It won't make much difference considering my style of hunting. Still, its silly long. Have you ever noticed how much longer 4" looks on a gun barrel compared to a tape measure?

Yes I have.
Actually for laying prone all day shooting I could like a long barrel but for hunting I like short barrels better.
Still, I like it.

Thanks for all the nice words guys. John, this Hart is an 8 twist. And Roger, the Mississippi flopears had best beware.

If you ever decide to flip that barrel and it isn't shot out let me know I might have a use for it.

I cut the barrel back 4-5 inches so I'm into the fluting, then I would cerakote the first inch of the muzzle in either pink or brown. depends on what color starfish cranks you up...

Tanner,
I didn't. Ordered it with pillars, but I haven't skimmed it. I had to do a tad of sanding to make sure all was free floated. I have several McMs that are not glass bedded that shoot awesome.

Cool! I'll likely bed my 243 Ackley build coming to life right now before I ever shoot it, but I'm tempted to see how it'd do if I didn't.

They don't all shoot without it. Just got a brand spanking new tub of Marine-Tex, so this one might get it yet.
