In my hands. Gunsmith was not thrilled with sighting the sights, I will see. Some trouble with brass, this batch appears to be on the thin side, required a neck sizer (captech found old note in Jamison desk drawer with 9/1000 minimum!!!). I am guessing A^2 was also cheap. Others have had no problem
CZ action into a CZ stock I bought, a McGown barrel turned to the stock (the RIP recommended 1:12 twist, Wisner drop bottom metal and both express and peep. Rifle balanced with .375" diameter tungsten rod in the buttstock. Feels good to me.
Photo bucket appears to let me post, who knows.... (But painful)

Nice looking rifle

Congrats looks great! It's a cartridge I seriously considered.

Thanks guys,
Chuck, I liked the 495 because headstamp brass always seems in stock and the AA hype, ie ghost shoulder. But the brass gets sized down by 12/1000 each re-size, so maybe starting with the necked down as in 500 A^2 better? Don't know.
