Jeff
You have much more nice toys to build gun stuff with. I used a couple of files, and a grinder with various discs.
Fantastic work!

Righto we have an almost finished product. Just waiting on a set of F class feet. Ive made a bastard set up out of some flat bar to give it a test run tomorrow. Absolutely stoked with the hydro dip finish on the base plate. And the farley top is very nice too. A huge improvement overall on a caldwell firecontrol.

AJR,
What length is that barrel? Why I find funny is f class guys keep getting longer barrels and the BR guys all seem to be around 27".

Re: Second current DIY project
Took it for its first spin today at the range. Very blowy 800m. First load I had made up for the 6 dasher was pretty average and only a 54.1 but the next load was a ripper 56.5 considering everyone was shooting 52-56 on average.
The rest was fantastic. The farley bag makes a huge difference. The rifle actually slid back and scope hit me in the bridge of my nose! Very smooth. Lucky it was only a dasher and not something bigger that would have split the skin and made me look a fool (well more than usual anyway)
Cant wait til the new rifle is built and I can get back into shooting again.
