Butlers are good and all i used until they start to break , so i will be switching to vortex ones now . 

Dave , please post progress on your load development and some pikkys ? Pretty please - all the best ..

Ha , looks like the Royal color laminate - i went for a barracuda / boyds in Royal laminate  subtle,  or is yours grey black ? Hard to tell by the pikky 

Would like to see a picture of the stock , looks laminate 

I read about this action and sometimes a clearance issue , looks a great job to me the tapered knob is perfect with the old ball part . I have a 527 but probably will leave the ball as std . I remember sometimes they Wouldn't clear the scope 

I wonder how many rifle dave has re-barreled as a std ? Probably over 1k ??

Minimum 8 - twist , id go 1-7 to be sure . Wonder if there finiky to tune ? I know some bergers are 

Personnely i shoulder bump then neck size . If you had to be impatient you could have a custom die made from your fired brass - to have 1 operation not 2 . Or like they pointed out fl typeS bushing die . Thatl be 1 operation too .

Quite naughty looking , love the cheeky carbon stock ...

Nice indeed , and an absolutely fantastic allround cartridge . 

At the op , iv had a std 223 & 223Ackley , have had a 20p for some years and honestly for varmints its the dogs . I prefer it to the std 223 & 223Ackley . The ackley was 8 twist shooting 75 Amax . But i replaced that with 6br so have a 400 yard 20p and 6br does alot futher . Id like a small 17 for 200 yard quiet gun but haven't done much about it yet a few years on . The 20s are less likely to ricochet than a 75 Amax too so in that respect , similar to say 17 rem - seem safer. 20s are devastating on crows etc 

Can you put a picture of the right hand side of rifle pls ?

So sad to read about , i never met mark or George /gbal on here but hope somehow there having a right chin wag . Best whishes and thinking of them

This is sound advice 👍 always confirm what’s is going to be done , just lapping a bolt and truing an action is not in my opinion blueprinting . It’s a fair bit more involved than that .

There are blueprints, and there are blueprints. Steve Bowers did a 30-06ai for a friend including a sleeved bolt. It was better than any high end custom, 0.001” bolt/body clearance but it wasnt cheap. Some builders just true an action which is good but not in the same league. Best to confirm what is actually being done and to what tollerance.  

This i recon is probably your best bet for a full BP , steve did a R700 223Ackley , it was as true as true can be . Even sleeved the bolt which most dont do , but is it better to get a custom action insted ? Save the possible wait also ? Forgot to mention he also  turns/cuts the outside diameter of the action so it really is a full blue print . And surly turning sleeving the bolt helps the firing pin stay absolutely center of the cartridge - if you want perfection this is it .

I got frankford Arsenal digital and Yes they drain batteries . So i normally buy 4 batteries at a time _ should just buy the mits tho 

Well it’s nice to be different- 22dasher ,immediately sruck me as barrel burner / overbore cartridge. If that doesn’t bother you then why not . Although I don’t like forming cases too much in the form of an old 223ackley now a 20 practical. I do shoot a 6 br and it’s really quite unfussy. I’d personally go 6 something maybe even 6/47. Obviously the better bc 6mm bullets are better out further but up to you I’m sure on that action it’ll be 1 sweet rifle😎

Iv got a few Ledwave tactical torches , there quality but the price is not cheap but they got many types to suit different budgets ..My favorite is probably my MTL DEFENSER-1 its multi function 3 different power setting , strobe , and battery power indicator level . Small and light .

All  NF with a tapered top turret has zero stop , the older models that have a flat top turret dont have zero stop - i think lol

Good matey ill have it - How do you want payment ? I can do bank transfer etc - please PM me cheers 

Hi have you got one for a SBE2 if yes I’ll have one please, should be in touch later tonight- cheers Tim.. 

I personaly would never buy a beserk , because of the risk of movement . My choice would be a proper composit or laminate and have bedded , iv just got a boyds laminate for a cz527 it will be bedded when its re- barrled and as for movement ? Well the barrel wont touch thats for sure - youll understand when i upload a pic - the boyds are reletivly cheap . But should give peace of mind once bedded . 

Thank the lord , just watched ian summeral on Utube ...

Its good of the shop to offer replacement pin after soo long a purchase . Kudos 

Sounds good , do you recieve a certificate once completed ? 

Bugger lol
