My Morgan got to shoot her own rifle to zero the scope and get a feel for her new rifle!
Very happy with the rifle and her quick pick-up of shooting.

Fire AWAY!
Well after long last and some trial and error (I had to relieve the bolt handle groove some more), the rifle fired off it's first 20 rounds!
My Morgan got to shoot her own rifle to zero the scope and get a feel for her new rifle!
She shot 4 groups of 5. The shots to the left are the third group after we got the scope close to zero. The pic to the right is a group of 4 with one flier.
Very happy with the rifle and her quick pick-up of shooting.

Daughters Rifle Update - Ready for Practice
We finished my daughter's rifle this weekend. Here are the stats for those not familiar with the little project:
Caliber: .22-250
Action: Mauser 98 set-up as single shot
Barrel: ER Shaw #3.5 Contour 24" 1:12 twist
Stock: Boyd's Varmint Thumb hole Pattern/Color - Coyote - action glass bed into the stock.
LOP: 13"
Trigger: Timney gold set at about 1.5#
Scope: Tasco Custom Shop 8x40x56 with side focus
Mounts: Weaver two piece 45/46 matte finish with Weaver rings.
Gunsmithing, bluing, final metal work, and barrel specifications done by Danny Robbins and Al Bennett at At Home Gun Repairs: https://www.facebook.com/danny.robbins.3705
The action came from my dad's stash of M98 actions that I gathered up after he died. The scope and trigger were also his that I gathered out of his shop.
Daughter picked out a Boyd's Coyote Thumb hole stock, and I had her initials laser engraved into the pistol grip.
Has not been fired yet. When we get it on paper at 50 yards or so, we will begin practice shooting beyond 100 and 200 yards in preparation for prairie dogs in July.

Progress Pics on My Daughters Rifle
Progress Pics
22-250 1:12 twist
24" 3 1/2 fluted varmint taper from ER Shaw
Had them lap the lugs and true up the bolt face
M98's and 98 clones was pretty much all dad worked on and/or built. After he died, I found 5 m98 actions and rifles in various stage of completion. This is one of those with a new barrel.
