You recall correctly.

Nice rifle bsa.


Thanks buddy. That is a cheapie I just got a few days ago. I'm liking it though.. The action is buttery smooth. It was, at one time, someone's favorite rifle. By the looks of it. Some after pics for the late night crowd:

Paint turned out pretty good. 3 coats of paint and 3 coats of clear with a little texture. Feels good in the hands. Glass bedding as per usual:

The barrel is totally freefloated now too, so it should shoot pretty good. Another thing I found interesting is the barrel length is 25". I thought they came with 26" barrels? Maybe this one was cut? It also has an 11 degree crown, so I'm thinking someone hacked it, but why only cut 1" off?
