Rifle one is a Bula made JRA receiver, lapped and installed an old Bula Forge bolt , finished reamed an M118 chamber to 1.633 in a pull off Chinese chrome lined barrel, gas system is Bula, op rod and trigger group are Harrington & Richardson. Scope is an old Redfield 4x (Think almost everyone has one of these old Redfields on a rifle in their vault somewhere) set on a Bassett low mount in a USGI birch stock. Broke out some 8 year old across the course 168 gr SMK over 41.5 4895 with 210M primers in RA 68 brass for function firing and getting her to settle down into the stock. Shot 4 targets on this cloudy morning. Rifle and ammo work great together. It's the shooter's not being able to see the target well with the 4x scope. You can see from target 1 thru 4 how the rifle itself is settling back into the birch USGI stock after being out for chamber work.
