How does it shoot?

[Dingo745]

Like a good Savage does. I can keep up with some of the costly setups, but this is still a less than $1K setup in total.

That's better than I expected.....typically rimfires and aluminum stocks don't get along with one another.

[Dingo745]

It has always shot better than I can, but lacks the consistency because I only feed it cheap CCI SV's so it would probably be better if I had mor $$'s to waste on better ammo but at club level shooting it doesn't warrant the outlay.

Nice machining work on the stock. Is it 6000 series or 7000 series?

[Dingo745]

Not sure but is marine grade that I score from the ship works that I worked in as they were all off cut pieces.

Moving this up to the "My Build Thread" board.

Nicely done stock! Here in Georgia, mid summer, it would be a real cheek burner though, lol!

[Dingo745]

I retensioned the action screws back to 15 inch/lbs. on all three screws, and it is still shooting nicely.
These 5 shot groups are shot at 50 metres using cheap CCI SV's ammo.
