Cant wait to see what speeds you can push it to.

Rifle was built by previous owner. I wish I had a factory original.
Ammo is home made as well. Too much $$ if you can find them for factories.
Gunna be fun for sure. Speeds won’t be lightning but I’ve got other rifles that do that.

It’s not k every one, I recognised the start of the slippery slope and have successfully backed away from the edge.
Believe it or not I’d really like a cheap water resistant hunting rifle that I could take out in the rain without caring about it. Like a howa 308 from cleavers but I’ve got jimminy cricket on my shoulder saying ‘no you have too many guns’

This coming from a bloke who has been very well known to say "they don't have a use by date", "just get another one", "Kerry wont find out (knives)"

This would be a good model to rechamber to .224 Weatherby Trev.

Just need to have the bolt face opened up a smidge and get the chamber re-cut.
