Poor light or not Chris, that is some nice eye candy. Thanks for sharing.
Poor Aviator, Woody is going to be hard to live with this weekend. Patiently awaiting some pics of his latest passion.

Aviator did very good this weekend. Finished third scope master. I did get the chance to send a few rounds down range on Friday morning. These were FL sized rounds meant for my HW. I did have to cam them in because the first driving band was into the throat by a 1/16th inch. They actually shot very well and I got initial sight settings out to rams. I'll play some more this week I hope. Here are a couple of lousy pics.

Nice rifle Woody well done.
Sounds like Steve did rather well, and congratulations to his spotter also.

Got to the range this morning. Using leftover rounds from this past weekend, I sent a few downrange basically to fireform a few, but also to check how they look on paper. The few that shot at steel this past weekend looked good. Here are the results at the 200 yard line.

Question Woody, that target..............if that wasn't Aviator shooting your rifle?
If that was you on the trigger you better get to a match fast.....that is more than good enough for sure.
Impressive.

Woody - where did you get that 6" diameter penny?

At the six inch penny store, where else.
Reloaded that brass. Now to see how fireformed brass shoots.

That's a beautiful rifle. I have a RR on order as well. Out of curiosity, is that a AA or AAA finish on it? Also if you don't mind me asking, when did you place that order? I'm 17 and a half months into my wait.
Thanks in advance,
Larry Montee

Woody, Very nice shooting indeed with a very nice rifle. What scope setup are you using?....

Larry,
It's their AA finish. This order was from a Shiloh gift certificate I won last October in Georgia. When Shiloh quit giving away actual rifles as prizes, they move certificate winners to the front of the production process. You can't judge your arrival by mine. Sorry.
