That looks pretty good, hope you'll show us some pics when it's finished. What wood is that cheek piece made from?

Todays work.

Multiple coats of neat Linseed Oil painted on, rubbed in with a cloth and some wire wool then wiped off.



I also prepared the wax that I will be polishing the wood with later in the week - 50/50 Bees Wax and Linseed Oil

And so here is the finished rifle, new cheek piece and all!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I took it to Merignac on Friday 6th February to zero it in at 200mtrs. Unfortunately, although I was not certain then, I was starting with shingles and found it quite painful to shoot so only managed 5 rounds at the 200mtr target giving me a lateral grouping of about 3”.

 

Can’t wait to get back and do some serious shooting before the next 400mtr shoot at Souge!

Ducan is that a non Gunsmith scope mount? I like that rifle and can be made back original if needed.

That was the whole idea CM. Because this rifle is already a mix of parts and therefore has no history I was prepared to do it.

It's from S&K Scope Mounts in PA. Part Nº. 1165 which includes the mount rings. Was easy to fit and to zero.
