Yup. Looking good my brother!!! I am glad you like it!!!

This is the gun the stock has every action of every gun I own in it A kelby , a Hall , a ranger arms and two different Remington . and now a XP100 with a Urbanrifleman Wilson barrel . Scope is a old B&L 6-24 power .
I changed the bolt handle fluted the bolt and put a lever type bolt release on the other side . And trued the action . And I need to make a new trigger guard for this action .

Urban Rifleman made my 6BR barrel and I can't say enough good things about the Wilson barrel and his service.

Brad is working on a 20P barrel for me now that I'm really looking forward to getting.

Here's my 5 shot 6BR group with 105 Bergers. This was my last rounds of the day.

Started production today. Now just to catch up and make all these barrels. :)
 
Went out and did some target work to day 12/11/23 . All 3 shot groups and different setting depths . Looks like I'll work with the .005 out of the rifling , and .035 out is pretty good . . what do you think ?

PS: all with 30.7 gr Varget .

One thing I like to do in all testing is keep all increments in order on the target so it is easy to see similarities or trends in POI. Then I simply choose sometimes the middle of the most consistent area and fine tune there.

But I like .005 I think.
