You might remember from the Steel Safari challenge I too have a Barnard SM action and am afflicted by the lack of spare HS Precision mags. Regards Mike sorry for late reply I have been ill yes the AI mag no problem at all for feeding very smooth no better than the HS but as you know AI easier to get hold of the bottom metal you wont go wrong with third eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fixings on the chassis seem to be fine. No furring up at all. As to accuracy- it shoots in the high 1s at 100 yards and under half moa at 600 yards with hand loads.

ejg223 Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Started my new project based on a T3 will have a slightly narrower forend on the stock. Goal is to be under 3.5kg for the complete rifle fitted with a 22" shortened F/TR barrel. Stock out the mould was 550 grams and will weigh well under 800 grams when completed with adjustable cheek and bedding. Recon the T3 action is quite good for lightweight builds. edi in the raw....
