Joe did you ever get this one out to shoot after the latest modifications?
I did, and it shot well.
However, not being happy with having to wrap the cheek piece with leather,,, this rifle and I spent last week going over it without the leather cover on the cheek piece and I found the problem...
In my haste to get my retirement rifle finished, I over looked one thing (you get older and things happen),,, anyway,,, my butt-plate was canted a tad so I corrected that and it shoots wonderful without the leather cover... It now just shoulders perfect and where it seemed I had to fight this darn rifle to keep it from "canting" - it now shoulders and shoots great!
Thanks for asking, Bull...
NOTE: Even the smallest of cant will ruin accuracy, and aging eyes sometimes miss things that are obvious after one scratches their head enough.
PS... Correcting the Cant also lead to making new front and rear sights.
