Bedding Vanguard in Boyd's stock

[Barrelnut]

Should clean up nice with a small utility knife, rat tail file, or dremel.
Don't forget to give us the glamour shot of the rifle after she's all back together.

W, perhaps on your next attempt apply some release agent on the tape also. Makes clean up much easier.

Thanks
I did.
It's cleaning up quite nicely

Thanks!
I have time tomorrow to buff it out and get to the range.
Photos will follow.

Clean it up job done and mounted the scope




I got to the range. Re-zero'd the scope with some old 168gr Accubond LR's.
I tried some VLD's from Choice Ammunition and 160gr Vor-Tx TSX

The Accubond's shot the best group, 1.1". Not my best group. I shot a cold bore dead bullseye after I zero'd it and let it cool.


I still hate the trigger. I ordered a Timney for it

 

[CoachChris]

I changed the trigger to the Timney from the stock trigger
Got back to the range this evening and shot groups with 168 VLD, 168 Accubond LR and 162 ELD-X

VLD


Accubond


Eld-X (Not bad for factory ammo)


After shooting that group with Eld-X I adjusted my zero, let the rifle cool down and shot this bullseye cold bore to confirm
