Finally got it (mostly) built
Had this barreled action for a while waiting on a stock. Finally tracked down a Wooster with exactly the inlet needed.
I may swap to a spare 1712 barrel or taper the existing one, haven't decided yet.

Re: Finally got it (mostly) built
Very Nice. The paint at the front of the stock gave me a doubletake as it looks like a bad break at the front. Is your rifle a single shot or repeater?

It's a single shot but the stock and bottom metal are for an MSR.

A similar setup to my 54.18msr. It has a 1712 barrel and merrier stock. The 5018 trigger was resprung by Neil stepp for a 2lb pull weight. I think your rifle will likely become the favorite of your silhouette herd.

Did you swap the barrel yourself? I'm slightly intimidated by that process.chickenhater wrote: ↑Sun Jan 08, 2023 7:55 pm A similar setup to my 54.18msr. It has a 1712 barrel and merrier stock.

Waiting on springs from Neil right now. Plus going to make a trigger blade which is longer and set to the rear.
Had a quick session with it yesterday. Definitely seems like it wants to shoot.

Re: Finally got it (mostly) built
Trigger reach was a bit far so I knocked this out in the shop:

No, I bought it from a friend who had the barrel swapped out. It was a complete ready to run rifle when I laid hands on it.

Re: Finally got it (mostly) built
Turns out the barrel swap was not a big deal. Just had to get the action quite hot then place ice on the barrel. Few snacks with an aluminum drift I made up and out it popped.
Installed the 1712 barrel after machining for a slip fit.
Tye really fun part is it was within 2moa after reinstalling the scope. So I'll call that very well aligned.
