[QUOTE="ejg, post: 279159, member: 12381"] My father bought a used 308 L579 in the early seventies. **** thing never really shot well. She had a track record of winging kudu, bushbuck and what have you. I got ahold of it about six years ago and couldn't get it to shoot well, cold or barrel warm barrel. Clean barrel would not even hit paper at 100yds but grouped almost 1" when warm and dirty. Had Roedale Precision in Germany put a 1in10 Lothar Walther Match barrel on. Slightly heavier profile (heavy magnum sporter 22") Now she shoots nails. I can really recomend the action, not too heavy. I have a sako laminated stock which I tossed into the corner because it's fairly heavy. Then had another look at the original walnut and did a little job to it. Widened the channel to take the barrel, had to widen the outside to and used straight carbon rovings. Perforated the stock to get weight out, fitted the uncomfortable grip area to my hand and added a "kaiser grip" Fitted pillars, reinforced the inside of the action area with carbon and stiffened forend. Bedded action and drop plate, and covered outside with twill woven carbon. voila, stiff as hell, although a bit crude looking. She groups well under 1/2" and is very consistent. The best thing about her is point of inpact is always the same, summer winter rain.... always. Head shot a Sika doe this year at a bit over 360yds. (We often have deer just peeking out the gorse.) Good trigger, still got the original, tuned to about 800 grams. edi [IMG]http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x264/ejg223/Image025-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x264/ejg223/DSC02514.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x264/ejg223/Sakocarbon1.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
