Recieved first custom rifle (Pics added 3-4-08)

I have started to break in barrel and am amazed at the accuacy it is showing at 18 shots fired.

With 3 -3 shot groups of .828", .728" & .537" useing 150 gr gamekings over 46 gr Varget.

The break-in is being done with whatever i have laying around,but I am dreaming about possibilities when I get a load worked for this rifle

Feels right when a rifle shoots as well right out of the gate, don't it? Good on you, it'll prove to be a rifle you can have some confidence in from the start. Them's, ALWAYS been the ones I've liked the best. Jolly good on ya!

That accuracy should tell you something about the need to break in a perfectly good barrel...

Wish I was a better at taking pics, because they do to rifle no justice. Pay no attention to the dates, because I can not set the camera either.
