[QUOTE="1whocanshoot, post: 999473, member: 63930"] The 111 LRH is the ugliest gun I own. You need to torque the action screws down to at least 65 inch pounds or you will get vertical stringing. Check the accustock to see that all the overmolding is off the aluminum so the action contacts just the aluminum. Bed the recoil lug area a bit. Dremel out the end of the stock that pushes up on the barrel so the barrel is freefloated. Buy an oversized bolt handle cheap on FleBay. Replace the base. Mine had lugs rip off when I shot it... Loctite down the new base. Cut out the front top of the cheek rest so you don't have to lower it each time you take out the bolt. Buy shorter bolts for the cheek rest so they don't stick out. Borescope the chamber to see if it is cut straight. Then you will see the "ladder" appearance in the barrel that copper fouls quicker. Will need to clean more for copper fouling. Hand lapping the barrel will help. You WILL need to polish the chamber that is rough causing brass to stick. Put the soft part of some velcro on the magazine were it contacts the bottom metal so it doesn't rattle. Action is not the smoothest and the length may take some getting used to. It will shoot if you work with it. Worth 1K in my opinion. Very easy shooting gun just don't look at it. You will need to full length resize the brass bumping shoulder back .002 or so. Loads for mag length - 300 SMK. 90.0 grains H1000. 89.8 grains Retumbo. Loads for mag length - 300 Berger. 96.0 grains RL 33. 97 grains of RL 33 filled the case at mag length with the bergers. Use Lapua brass. Can find for 2.50 a piece. You will reload the Lapua brass 15 to 25 times depending on load and bumping. I have shot under 0.3 moa groups at 850 and 0.5 moa out to 1500 with it. My berger load shoots one hole at 100. If you find a take off FCP barrel it will go right on the 111. You will need to "inlet" the stock. Then the suppressor you put on wont make the barrel sag to the ground... I think the FCP and LRH are different actions. I'm pretty sure you can't buy a LRH and slap it into a HS Precision stock if you want to. [/QUOTE]
