I think I might have gotten away with Low EGW rings instead of Medium. But it actually fits me just right. Full picture in scope immediately. Now to boresight it and zero this weekend. I think I learned a way to do it in 3 shots. Can't wait to try it out. Oh and not much bolt zip in this one.

I cleaned the bore and any residue on the gun, bolt and chamber. Lots of black in the bore. (Probably factory shots) 2 scrubs with a copper bore brush and 3 passes with a cleaner soaked patch that came clean and then 2 passes with a dry patch. (I hope that was the right way.}

Barrel is floated correct. Slid a dollar down it all the way. No touching anywhere.

Looking good! Let me know the recoil on the 7mm PRC, I’m very interested in the caliber.

Will do. Not expecting much with the muzzle break.

Push some more dry patches down it.

The bore needs to be completely dry.

I usually have to push 10 or more after solvent.

The "caliber" is 7mm

The "chambering (cartridge)" is 7 PRC

I said what I said. I was too lazy to correct it, and he knew what I meant
