Well my 9.3x62 project rifle is in the white and bedded to its partially finished stock.



I will finish the stock myself and then send the project back for final rust blueing.

Barrel: 25" Lothar Walthar pre chambered and screwed.
Action: FN Mauser '98
Trigger: Timney Sportsman set at approx 3lb.
Guard: Slimmed and shaped.
Stock: Mail Order Slee XX Grade Classic style with two tones of wood. (good for use with a scope but too high for the iron sights fitted).
Recoil Pad: Black Kick-Eez Sorbothane
Safety: Two position Brownells replacement swing safety.
Front Sights: Recknagel ramp and white bead.
Rear: Recknagel two blade express sights. 1st regulated to 50 metres.
Scope: Leupold 1-4x20 VXIIc Shotgun scope with heavy plex reticle and parrallax factory set at 75 yards.
Scope rings: Will soon be replaced with Warne QD items on the weaver grand slam bases.

All current work was done by Nickal Traditional Gunsmiths near Armidale, NSW.

My son and I just took it out for a test fire useing 286 Woodleigh RNSP projectiles and a mild load of 52 grains 2208 in Lapua cases. Recoil was very nice. Just a firm push with a little muzzle rise. Perfect for penetrating future buff without overexpansion.

Cameron put three shots into a 2" circle off hand at 50 metres. (Don't ya hate it when the young ones out shoot you?)

More later.

Excellent. Am I right, your stock has dual reinforcing crossbolts?

Yes, two cross bolts to stop the furniture 'springing' outwards upon fireing.

I forgot to mention that an Interupter has been fitted to the rear edge of the feed plate so that the bolt can't shut on an empty magazine.

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.
