Finally got this long project completed. Barrel set back and re chambered, cut to 24'' and re crowned, trigger job done by my buddy Billy Russell, EGW 20 moa rail, Bushnell 6500 4.5-30 x50 mm, Kryptic stock pack.

Before it was cut... ![[Linked Image]](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/RJM52/22%20rifles/008_zpsewxlndlp.jpg) Date should be 2016 not 17 ![[Linked Image]](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/RJM52/22%20rifles/004_zps3pqt1doi.jpg)

Very nice. Thinking about going to 18-20'' but she shoots great now at current length.

How sturdy is that scope mount? Looks like it wouldn't take much of a bump to mess things up.

Held by 2 screws and is arched so it fits to the shape of the receiver. I am making a spacer to fit under the open part of the rail then screw it to receiver.
