It finally arrived, 2-1/2 weeks after buying it on GunBroker.
Of course I took it apart to clean, oil, inspect, etc.. Looks good as far as I can see.. The AccuStock rail system is impressive, providing what appears to be a solid foundation in the synthetic stock for the receiver.
Both sling-swivel/bipod screws are threaded into the Accustock aluminum frame and NOT into the 'wood'.
The scope, a Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24X50, fits well in the Vortex low rings.
I removed the site-mounting rail, wiped the oil off it, and reinstalled it with ZAP Z-42 medium-strenth Thread Locker.. All 12 of the scope-mounting screws are #8s (I believe) with Torx #25 sockets.. I used my new Wheeler F.A.T. Wrench torquedriver to tighten all screws to about 18 inchpounds.. Turns out the two receiver screws are also Torx 25s but larger diameter, and I tightened them to 30 inchpounds IIRC.. I thought the knurling on the bolt knob might be tough on my delicate office-boy hands, but it's not.. Tomorrow I'm off to my casual-shooting place north of Phoenix for site-in and break-in.. I guess we'll find out if it really shoots! :-)
Didn't touch the adjustable comb height or adjustable length-of-pull, but I'm bringing all those parts and a screwdriver with me tomorrow.. The light-brown color is a bit darker than I thought it would be, and I like that. The magazine is a MAGPUL-brand 10-round AISC type for 7.62X51 caliber, and I just ordered three more.. With Sleepy Joe the civil-rights thief in the White House, he who hesitates may well be left out.. So break-in/site-in Tuesday and the first shooting of 16 trios of three different bullets and lots of increasing powder charges on Wednesday.
