Very nice find, enjoy.I’ll look more closely but I don’t think it sits down in the holes much if at all they aren’t much bigger than action screws. Recoil lug is machined into the chassis at the front so that is one flat surface yes.
Masterpiece arms it doesn’t wanna roll over. I guess the smart thing to do would be put it in and Shoot it. View attachment 445914
I feel OP's pain - I hate gluing stuff (and cutting stuff).Post up pics of everything once you get it put together
You can blacken the action or use something that will transfer, lipstick works.I think your onto something here I just went down and looked at it a little closer and it looks like there are witness marks on the “v block” as u call it. So maybe there isn’t direct contact at the action screw? View attachment 445920
So you don’t thinking bedding will get me to the .1sIf you’re not happy with THAT, you need to manage your expectations. That’s a $800 barreled action in that chassis. What exactly do you expect that’s better than .3-.25?
Did you do the OCW test with that stock?So the action screws showed up today and I mounted her up. Seems solid. I also was able to load up a seating depth test. 5 each starting 5 thousandths of the lands in 5 thousandth increments. I settled on a charge weight of 24gr for this test as groups looked promising from 23.8-24.2View attachment 448651View attachment 448653View attachment 448652

Oh, i will call upon the Varget gods to bless your new chassis
You should find as many different scopes you can look at before deciding on one. I don't think those 2 options are much of an upgrade over the LHT. The extra magnification is nice but you probably won't even use it when mirage kicks in.Not at all it’s a vortex razor lht with sportsmatch rings. The glass and rings are going on my hunting rifle once I find another optic for this one. I’m thinking of trying the strike eagle 5-25 or a pst gen II but haven’t decided yet.
Does not need to be muchOutstanding.
Explore OCW or put in some work with a chronograph to help you discover most consistent velocities/standard deviations with a given charge--large deviations in velocity will translate into stringing at long range.
You're pretty f***en close, Kid.
That must feel nice.
Factory tikka varmint barreled actionWhat barrel?
I’ve been asking around not a lot of options for higher end glass for me to get my hands on at the moment. I don’t think I can justify moving up to a razor gen II though it would be nice. I’d like to go with something ffp and like the new vortex ebrc7 reticle. I know the glass quality won’t be as good on these as the razor.You should find as many different scopes you can look at before deciding on one.

I do need to get a chrono for sure that’ll be my next big purchase as it’s between the magneto speed and LabradarOutstanding.
