Hope all is well, I know you have been a busy man. Viking, I havent seen one personally but I'll bet that wood is sweet. Ingwe, Were you reloading for them or just factory ammo? I have a bunch of 69, 75, 77, grain bullets to try in this once I get it. Josh, Did your rifle come threaded or did you get it done? Running a 5/8×24 thread or 1/2×28? I lopped the factory barrel off at 16" and threaded it 1/2x28.

P I’m not seeing a 223 offering? Would be a nice option though. Gonz I’m sure you’ve checked with Josh about the mag mod. I noticed Brownells has them for $45 if you wanted a extra.

Cold bore shot was good. Next three shots, cloverleaf. How boring. Last edited by OrangeDiablo; 11/12/19. I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery - Thomas Jefferson

Toss a 1913 inclined interface atop,that is pinned and you can quit fretting base failures. I'm DONE with 1pc base/rings,as I've puked too many and because ring spacing is your scope's(ANY fhuqking scope) BEST friend. Hint. Pass the Good Stuff. Hint. If your DBM isn't an AICS footprint,rest assured...that it is a piece of fhuqking schit. Hint. Bless their hearts for trying. Hint. Laughing!....................

To date,I've only puked (8) sets of LW's. Hint. Bulletproof. Hint. Bulletproff. Hint. Fact is,I'm prolly slammin' a new rifle together right now and 1913'ing THE schit outta it too. Hint. Just sayin'. Hint.(grin) It's never been difficult to cypher who shoots and who don't. Laughing! Hint.................
