Put her together today and I think it turned out exactly as I wanted. The 6 Hole base was loktite'd and torqued to MGM spec ... the Warne Rings were dry torqued per Warne's Specs. I'll keep a close eye on scope slippage for a while. Let's hope it's a shooter!

Looks good! Is it a 44 mag (thought I could make that out on the barrel)?
You've got it set up nicely. Hope she shoots bug hole groups.

It is. I've already loaded some 200 XTP's to start load work.
Thanks!

Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

Looks great! What length barrel is that?
Can't wait to read a range report.

Did you add extra freebore so you can shoot the long 300s out of it?
If it jams force it! If it breaks it needed replacing anyway.

This barrel is accurate! After 5 shots at 25 yards I was smiling ... 2 shots touching ... adjust ... 2 shots touching ... adjust ... 1 shot and done.
Shots 6,7,8 were a 3/4" cloverleaf at 50 yards. Im looking forward to some 100 yard work soon.
