It looks like I am getting my Christmas present

I got this email today:

The barrels are now soaking in protective oils. Due to the vagaries of the calibre and nature of thin European barrels it took 2 visits to the range and 2 regulation blocks to get the barrels converging past normal regulation of 65m. All shooting is done off hand and we achieved a free hand shot spread at 100m of 150m. Obviously the sights are very difficult to be accurate with but we were fairly pleased with the outcome. The rifle still shoots high and really could do with a higher front (not practicable) or higher rear (no more adjustment left).

That said, I am sure you can be fairly accurate once you are sure of its impact points.

Thank you for the work and attached is the invoice. I was able to bring the regulation in lower than originally thought and then there is the blacking/ finishing and consumables to be catered for.

It was $1,176.

I asked if he had any targets but haven't heard back from him and I am assuming the 150m at 100m is a typo and its prob 150mm? I am also a little confused about the comment on front and back sights could be higher (if its shooting high I would have thought higher front or lower rear?).

I have paid the invoice and so hopefully will get it before Christmas and I will let you know how I go with some tests at various ranges.

If you're wondering about the sights the rear is a Skinner adjustable ring sight that Andy Larsson made for me (he owns a Sabatti DR as well). The front is a tall post with a brass bead set in the top.

When to much recoil is just not enough.
