Tah for the valuable input. I appreciate it.

I basically gave AFRO Carte Blanche to build the rifle with limited input from me. The stock and action are the same as my 9.3x62, however they balance differently. The emergency rear Ghost Ring sight is effective in range conditions out to 200 yards (witnessed by FATBOY404 and 450 Ackley)
with the 154 load.

44 grains of 2209 under the 154 does the trick

so I will start practising with that load and take it to the Shakey Isles.
