Some final tuning like hammer polishing, and tweaking torque values is all that remains.

Like. It. A. Lot. Congratiolations. The Name fits.

simmons? I figured they had to be out of business by now.

Cool gun.

How does it shoot? Thats really the only thing that matters anyway?

I've had the 44MAG scope for years. Has been on everything from a Charles Daly Superior II .22 to a full custom .300WM Mauser.

It sat on the last 10/22 I built which ran 5 shot groups at 25 yards consistently around 0.155"-0.255"

This one was only test fired in its original form before its modifications. Once I find my "FAT Wrench". I'll torque the v-block screws to 20 in/lb which was the sweet spot for the last one, and the action screw to 28 in/lb, and start testing.

I have
Federal 510 Champion
American Eagle AE5022
Federal Automatch
CCI Std Velocity
SK Std Plus

The last one grouped best with the CCI so I'll test it last to see if that holds true. I just have to remember to run about 10 fouling rounds after the SK to run out all of that weird booger snot lube they have on it.

I think the FAT Wrench is just under the Joker, at least that's where I saw it last, on the rifle rack/support.
Good looking rifle for sure, have fun with it

It is. Wow.

Spent 20minutes in the garage this morning and looked over it the whole time.

And one or 2 others all apart on that bench so it gets confusing.
