I didn’t have him bed it. I’ll see how it shoots first. Great guys to deal with. When I picked up the ‘54 I didn’t think it had been shot much. Justin checked it out, and sent me an Email and said it was like brand new. Barrel was in perfect condition. So is the ‘55 Featherweight barrel I got from him. If it comes in under 8 lbs or close to it, I’ll be more than happy.
