Even though I started grade school in Mississippi, I eventually learned to do the 3 R's. Your weight of 3811 grams = 8 lbs 6.15 oz, scoped with Lynx bridge mounts and Leupold VX-III 1.5-5x20mm, well under 9 pounds with 4 rounds of ammo on board. Excellent.
Might be some all-thread steel hidden under and behind the action recoil lug, or maybe not. Chet Brown stocks must not need it. No secondary recoil lug on the barrel either, apparently. The Mauser spacers on the action screws could be glued in as pillars, or left as the original compression preventers ?
Are you showing a barrel that is 54cm from muzzle crown to front of action receiver = 21.25" ? If so I am guessing it would be closer to 56cm to breech face of barrel = 22.05". Saint Sir McIntyre was mistaken, oh well, he was only human at the time. Stick a rod down the barrel with action closed and cocked to get firing pin retracted. Mark the rod at muzzle and see if it is closer to 56 cm, pretty please.
I now rephrase my rhetorical question:
Q: Who needs more power than a 22"-barreled .458 WinMag ?
Ron aka "Rip" for Riflecrank Internationale Permanente NRA Life Benefactor and Beneficiary .458 Winchester Magnum, Magnanimous in Victory THE WALKING DEAD does so remind me of Democrap voters. Donkeypox.
