Big Al Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 This rifle came in last week for a new barrel and a change of caliber. Originally a 22/250 the owner wanted something that was accurate for long range vermin and foxes but also deer legal, he decided on a 6.5x47. The original barrel was a 24" varmint but I profiled his new one to 22" and what I consider a heavy sporter. It really improved the handling of what was a very muzzle heavy set-up. After re-fitting the customers scope these are the first and only 3 shots the rifle has fired and it was nice to see the original zero had hardly changed. Ive no doubt we can tighten things up with some proper load development but a promising start nonetheless. #happycustomer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcampbellsmith Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Hi Is it not possible to mount the scope lower, or are going to get a clash with the bolt handle? Regards JCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted August 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Yes, you could mount the scope lower if you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted August 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Those are the mounts that the customers uses and the rifle came in complete. I just rebarreled it and fitted everything else the way it originally was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
