Thanks all. It was both a fun and rewarding project. I'm used to detachable box mag fed rifles and figured I'd try a single shot setup to slow me down. I like the experience allot.
Will likely bed the rifle soon but first, I've decided to install an Elfmann trigger to get the pull down to the 12-16 oz range I'm accustomed too for a range gun. I'm sure Ill be reporting on the rifles overall progress once I get my loads developed.
