I have a 40X .308W. Very accurate with IMR 4064 and heavy Hornady BTHP and SST.

I owned a 40x Sporter Repeater,22LR; one of 791 built. Holy grail for rimfire collectors. Beautiful rifle ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/kX9QWMrV/82-BEA9-C0-2499-4194-A6-A1-726394-ACB142.jpg) I had one as well. Watched the prices keep going up, and got to the point I was scared to take it out of the safe, so I sold it. Built a custom with the funds, Stiller, Rock Creek, McMillan, Jewel, etc..... Yes, I had same problem and was scared it would get damaged in shipment if I sold it. A collector contacted me wanting to buy it. He had original soft case and box for one. He offered to ship it to me to use and agreed to FOB Origin terms; meaning when I handed it to FedEx he owned it. I pocketed some big $$$ and we were both happy. Though it was an amazing piece go gun art to own.

My cousin had a 40x in 22 lr.
He shot at least a case of ammo through it every year on gophers up here.
I had never heard of such wealth.
I am MAGA.

Did the 40 X have a screw in the forend that put tension on the barrel ? Yes, they did. From what I’ve read they worked but needed to be readjusted any time the wood of the forearm moved. We didn’t worry about the bedding screws when I shot one in competition in college. I think that pretty much became the SOP for most shooters. I’ve read that some folks used a volt meter to find “contact” when the screw first touched the barrel and then adjusted tension from that point.
