Congratulations Rodney! I'm glad to see all your efforts in building your own rifles come together for you!

Mike, Thanks for the kind words and any success I've had in building barrels can be attributed to my teachers...namley Jerry Sharrett and yourself and thanks to both of you for your patience and putting up with all my rookie gunsmithing questions.

Take care,
Rodney

That is just amazing. I didn't know varget was that good.. What were the wind conditions?

Varget is very good . Especially in a barrel that likes it and it is more insensitive to temp changes than the other popular Dasher powder. The conditions were overcast with 5 mph wind, switching in all directions, weather forecast suggested 19 mph gusts but I think the gusts were around the 10 mph range. Target #2 I had two hold three different aimpoints (as far as three inches off) to keep all five in 1.6". The record breaking target I didn't hold off at all, kept the same aim point and let'em rip.

Thanks everyone for your kind words. No one was any more surprised than myself

Well, the problem is obvious. His scope is off to the right.

Hopefully he'll correct this and shoot a better group next time.

As if I could do that, sure I can.

Incredible.

12 seconds. That was some fast shooting

12 seconds. That was some fast shooting

When some of the Liberals find out what Rodney was able to shoot in 12 seconds with a single shot bolt action rifle they will be wanting to add our long range rifles to the proposed weapons ban list.

Congratulations Rodney! Nice of you to mention your mentors. You're a class act from any angle. BTW, How much you asking for that obviously well used rifle :
