Remove the single standing leaf (dove-tailed with locking screw) for use of peep sight:

BTW, if Sir Jerry chronographs any of his CFE-223 loads with various new bullets and new COLs
it would make for some new entries at AmmoGuide dotcom.
Such is the trust we all have in his reporting, but of course the loads will be attributed to "gunner500,"
even if they are entered by "ripr."



LOL, damn, like minds Sir Ron, just got in from the chrono before dark, results:

400gr ABW Kodiak, 2259 fps
400gr Swift A Frame, 2276 fps
400gr Nosler Partition, 2260 fps
400gr BBW#13 Solid, 2232 fps

Both 400gr Woodleighs average 2255 fps, the pointed ABW's, NPT's and SAF's will give this rifle another 50-75 yards effective range, iirc the SAF's will expand down to 1650 on heavy game animals, a 250-275 yard middleweight that punches like a heavyweight with recoil next to nil packing 6 rounds on board is ready for anything, it's one of the most accurate rifles i own.

Yessir Big B, beautiful old classic rifle.

Trump Won!
