Doing a little something different, as a project, with this one. Trying to create a 10 dot challenge rifle using a standard M14 type receiver. This will be a first for as using a standard receiver will require the use of a side mount for the optics. Have chosen a Sadlak for this purpose as they have proven to be the most stable of all side mounts. Got a good start on the barreled action using a Bula Defense Systems standard receiver heel marked James River Armory with a Bula bolt and an ultra heavy Bula barrel in .308. Still need to add M1 rear sight, a bolt stop and connector pin. Other than that she has been barreled, headspaced to 1.632 and fitted to a very tight birch usgi stock..

SADLAK MOUNT ON BULA DEFENSE SYTEMS M14
Finishing the standard receivered 10 dot challenge rifle. Plenty of chopping and chewing to fit the monster barrel into the USGI birch stock and lots for grinding on the underside of the handguard to get it to set down where it belongs. Installed the Sadlak optics mount so she is almost ready for a test run. Like to let the Loctite set for a day. That gives me some time to decide what optic will be crowned with.
LEATHERWOOD M1200-XLR 6-24x LANDS ON THE BULA M14
Getting ready for first function tests on the range. Chose the Leatherwood M1200-XLR 6-24x50mm for its scope. It sits a bit high, but will see how it performs in the 10 dot challenge. The TAC-PRO cheek riser, in it's uppermost postion, will handle the altitude very nicely.
FINISHED RIFLE IS READY FOR THE RANGE
