Always nice to mount the scope back on the picatinny, and have the point of impact the same as the wore out barrel...no re zero needed on this new barrel. Target on the left were the first five shots fired through it. This morning I got to "air it out" a bit. I think the new tube has some potential....;) Barrel #3 for this rifle. Bartlein 5R22" 1-7.7". Velocity was right at 2950, and I'm expecting an increase of 80-100fps after a couple hundred rounds. And yes, I do hunt with this rifle. It was my primary coyote rifle for five years. Luck....is the residue of design...

Have heard good thangs about Alpha.(grin) Stretch that rear ring's spacing............................

Those rings are as far apart as possible. There's a sleeve on the rear of the tube that supports the lit reticle. I've got another 6 CM with a new tube I'll be working up in the next few days, along with another 22 CM with a 17.5" Bartlein. More reports coming.....;) Luck....is the residue of design...

I'm now approaching 600 rounds in that rifle and took another elk at 380, 1 shot this week. With the rebarreling, how many rounds were the previous lasting in this 6 CM? Also, I think I know the answer to this silly question, but what's your take on the folding stock in the field? Why have it? best, Jason

Do you think Scenar got “schooled”? Or did you “school” Big Stick with the comment you made? I can’t tell. "The world breaks everyone,and afterward, some are strong at the broken places" Hemingway
