i did look at a flinter the other day, a traditions that should make bb happy, but them came to my senses and left with a pellet gun instead.

You did use a 15/16" impact drive didn't you? Ha Ha

i truly do appreciate it Ron. I am enjoying the rifle a lot to be honest. Its a good solid bolt action and its fun tinkering with things on it. Once i get more supplies to build the primer holder/spacer, i'll be able to mod the new firing pin and make it a very thin shaft that hits the primer rather that the big chunky firing pin it currently uses.

Shot this yesterday evening at 100 yards with 90gr bh209, cci 209m and 245gr powerbelts.

1.5" on the money,

If I was gonna do all that I would just custom build holy cow. Whats sold me on BH powder all the prior mentioned & no shelf life that was very cool. I agree with HM who ever said tighter is not better

I'm talking about guns

yup like i said, bought a cva had a bad experience with them and i pass that info on. others may disagree but that doesn't change my experience or opinion.

I agree I would not give that gun to a kid. The recoil may ruin or ward off ever shooting again. Unless they want to hunt from a led sled. Or a really light load. I never use a sled to sight in a gun just a front rest be it sand bags or so on. I could sight in with a sled then pick up the gun shoulder it & be way off target. Adding that extra lop from the sleds recoil reduction butt stock holder & awkward cheek weld compared to shouldering the gun can effect accuracy in the field big time.

never an issue with my lead sled, love that thing and she shoots center off hand as well.
