    Here are pics of my rifle that I've bedded into the carbon stock that I made a couple of months back. The rifle shoots nicely with most bullets I've tried. 146901 146902 146903

    Still in milling mode, have changed the cutter for a rounded tip one so puts a corner Radis to help stop cracking. This is now milled out to size ready for the hammer and breach block so may have...
