He's a good smith and pushes my little projects through pretty quickly. Got back in town Thursday evening, picked the rifle up Friday am.

Did my usual tunings and tweaks... emery'd the feed ramp and underside rails, degreased bolt and trigger, tuned the trigger to 2.75lbs, mounted the Talley rings in JB Weld, bedded the forward receiver and barrel lug (Acraglas Gel). Saturday I lapped the rings and mounted the scope (in Rubber Cement), loaded up some rounds and went to "the range" (our rural property north of town).

Whew, I'm exhausted laugh
