That target was printed at Davis St, I do most of my shooting at a private ranch.
It's been a couple of years since I've been to Chabot but I've been going there for years, it's nice out there

My Whitworth needed a lot of work to get shooting right.
It *needed* the rear cross-bolt and I strongly suggest you add one to your rifle.
The front sight popped the head of one of it's screws off, the whole thing got replaced with a NECG universal banded system which works great, really a nice setup there.
My muzzle needed a bit of work, the rifling lands were burred and bruised from the factory crown effort, fixed that with a recessed crown job.
The only bedding from the factory, at the barrel recoil lug, was just plain wrong and had to go, the full bedding job which followed made a huge difference and I strongly suggest you do the through bolt and bedding before you shoot it.
You can get the devcon 10110 steel epoxy off the web from numerous sources. I think the kit I got was a One Pound kit. Get it and don't look back. Great stuff.

I'll likely refinish the wood too. not till I get a storage-trap grip cap for it.

There I'd just about be able to call it done.

It's accurate. That load will likely be the thing for the 300yd leaf.
I just want to set up with proper targets for the sight regulation work. Gotta be able to see what I'm doing...
