   I can't comment on accuracy as yet, but now the rifle is "complete" I managed to get a couple of test shots off to make sure it held together. 251324 Load was 44gn of 2213sc behind a 75gn eldm,...

   Weight and balance, balance is pretty good. The balance point is right at the rear of the foregrip as most of they weight in those Baikals is in the action. The weight with the rail but no...

   I was chasing some more strength from the carbon as there isn't much timber in the wrist area. So next I gave it a coat of epoxy to wet out whatever didn't get much soak-through. 251292 I was...

   Here is a close up of the extractor, showing the spring loaded detent that extracts the case. It is held in place against the spring by a roll pin. 251233 Once this was all sorted the barrel...

   It's pretty rough round the action, more just to get an idea of the shape. Next step was to cut and shape some paulownia for the buttstock, it certainly works easier than the pine! 251261 251262...

   Final shaping of the forend and then it was time for carbon. I decided to go with a schnabel on the forend, I felt it was fitting with the style I was trying to achieve 251283 251284

    Now onto the foregrip, which was more challenging even though it was much smaller. First I made a "pillar" so I got the distance between the forend iron and release catch right 251272 Then I...

    5.6 is just the metric rounding for .224 in this instance. Case capacity sits it between the Swift and a 22 Creedmoor

    Next step was to make a trial buttstock out of pine to see what I needed shape and size wise. 251255 251256 Now I had to decide what to build the stock from, I had acquired some nice walnut but...
