Scott, the rifle and barrel are fully bedded - as you would expect on an English gun from the early 1900's.
I shot the rifle and found the sights were dead on and I carried the rifle for a few days at the beginning of our bear season this fall. but it ended up raining nearly every day of the season so I cleaned it and put it up and carried one of the new Ruger African versions in 416 Ruger. The two rifles are quite similar in weight, balance and performance.
