Thanks, she’s a solid girl ….about 10.5 pounds.
Thought she might be but no doubt you will be glad of the weight when you pull the trigger. :o I've always thought folks made too much fuss about weight anyway......

Thanks Charles but my video skills are crap.

First photo is of a group at 110 meters. 6 o’clock hold on the target . Over a bag.

Next photo. 50 meters shot over a bag. 6 o’clock hold. Top group with Hornady Factory 400 grain DGS. Bottom group with 400 Woodleigh reloads.

I’m pretty happy with her. 30 factory loads and 20 reloads went down range.

Rear sight may need to get moved right about 1mm. Maybe 🤔

Anyway….I’m happy 🥳

Well done Rod, that’s plenty good enough.

Tried her with some 410 grain Bertram Bullets.

Target shot at 25 meters. Three shots over the bag and four shots standing unsupported.

Pretty happy with this rifle.

That’s some fine shootin!!
"That if you properly respect what you are after, and shoot it cleanly and on the animal’s terrain, if you imprison in your mind all the wonder of the day from sky to smell to breeze to flowers—then you have not merely killed an animal. You have lent immortality to a beast you have killed because you loved him and wanted him forever so that you could always recapture the day." —R.Ruark
