The whitworth shoots M.O.A.

I'd been working on loads for this rifle, all the while making subtle changes and improvements.

First off, I installed a rear cross bolt and flush-fitted ebony plugs.
Next came a little bit of trigger work.
The front sight has been replaced with a (superb) NECG banded, hooded 'Universal' elevation-adjustable fiber optic front sight.
The stock ramp ejected itself 100 or so hot 350gr loads into the game.
The barrel has gotten a much needed recessed crown job, the factory detail there was just plain bad.
Finally, it's been fully bedded (and properly relieved) in Devcon 10110 steel compound.
I also had removed and relieved the original front stock bolt and properly installed it, flush-fitting ebony plugs to finish the job.

It finally shoots MOA
Just got back from the ranch where in late afternoon dim overcast I was easily getting MOA performance in a sitting field position.


Happy day
