Treedave Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Does this mean that he'll stop telling us how to and show us instead? Can I suggest a presentation at a range day, with the relevant friends there to give support. Can't wait, there will be NO pressure on the firing line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannywayoflife Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 How much "truing" did you have to do on the tikka? I've read they don't usually need any? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 I have taken a fine cut off the action face, bolt lugs, action lug abutments and bolt face. Once done the lugs have been lapped, the donor in question had seen a bit of work hence the extra effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejg223 Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Very nice Andy, what do you think of the centring ring on the barrel? edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted July 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Hi Edi yes a good idea especially for your stock as they have a uniform barrel channel, the delrin (non taped ring) was farther back towards the action when it was set into the compound - it moved forards when I was messing with pictures - devcon had set anyway. I usually have a two points of contact - one at the tang and one at the barrel channel - as far forwards as possible. With your stocks, I will be using the two ring method from now on - definately works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejg223 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Had a med. Palma at 20" before, great compromise between weight and accuracy. Looking forward to first targets from this one. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted July 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Completed rifle: Now fitted with Contessa rail, bonded to the action. 4-16 PM11 mounted in Third Eye Tactical ringset PSE ETact vs 3 stock really makes this a perfect all purpose rifle.

Ronin Posted July 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Andy is the Red tape on the bipod, to stop the spring twanging? When stalking? It is, if I use that bipod, I tend to use an Atlas now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
