Why that? More sense to me in the left side so you can see it?

No biggy, just a question I always had.

getting amped for the manson trip? Club guys going in on Sunday so if I hear anything I will let you know, looks like the snow has all but gone off the eastern face that I can see, warm rain will quickly get rid off the rest

Not pretty. Surely a drop of loctite would have been easier and tidier?

I built this rifle up for myself about 5 years ago after my L42 style No4 .308 struggled after 800 metres (probably my fault). It is in .30/06 and throws a 167 grain Lapua scenar at 2950 fps for 0.5 MOA groups. I found an old M17 action which I modified to Rem 700 dimensions, altered the bolt handle and removed the magazine belly. I fitted and chambered a 10" twist John Thompson (Azumith barrels, Christchurch) hand-lapped CM #5 blank which I finished at 26" and threaded for the over-barrel suppressor of my own design and manufacture. The trigger is a tweaked Timney Sportsman, a laminated Boyds semi-finished blank which I pillar bedded, 20 MOA Brownells Rem 700 LA base, and a Sightron SIII 6-24 mildot scope. I bead-blasted and blued it. The 26" barrel allows the use of slow powder (ADI 2214SC) to give good velocity at low pressure. I started out using IMR 4350 but got a few pressure problems with it at the upper end velocities. Now that summer is here again I will have to drag it out a bit more!
