had the rifle on the range, try different cartridges
best group was made by 1960s soviet tula military ammo

just want to see if the iron sights were right. little bit low but I have another lower front sight now that will doing it, hopefully.
the stutzenstock is by a lady now who make the checkering for me. she asked if she can take the stock to a show in november were she will work in front of visitors and I agree, why not.
I am a little bit short of time now but believe the rifle will be blued until christmas.

Are you planning to position the forward edge of the forend checkering to incorporate the splice in the stock blank? That could potentially conceal the join line between the two grains very effectively.

This has been a fascinating build. Like all of us here, I can't wait to see the final product!
