To begin, I want to extend my appreciation to Bryan and Nicole at SK scope mounts in Sugar Grove, PA for working with me to fit my rifles with their SKulptured bases and rings. I have a few of my other rifles with their bases and rings. These are the cleanest mounts you will see. They are sleek and compact. They keep a nice looking rifle looking nice. In my first post regarding these rifles, Chiro1989 wanted to see a group. Let me preface by saying these rifles have made it hard to shoot consistent groups. Their fore ends are so narrow it's hard to get steady with the rests I have. I came up with somewhat of a solution by using an old Hart front rest and putting a rabbit ear rear bag to stabilize the fore end. It has worked to some extent, but not perfectly.
Here are some photos:

Nice! Everything is working great looks like you have the load recipe dialed in as well. I love falling blocks and that walnut in good light beautiful.
