X-Caliber barrel.

Time for another barrel change on one of my Savage 110s. This time I ordered an X-Caliber .308 24" bull in SS. Barrel came in and looks pretty darn nice. Hoping to pop it on the next rainy day that comes along. Whatta Hobby!

Screwed the barrel on my .308 Savage. 20 moa rail had to come off to use action wrench so the thing is waiting until tomorrow for the loctite to set and then off to the range. Whatta hobby!

Mounted the scope and added a vertical pistol grip. Looks like tomorrow is going to be a good day. Whatta Hobby!

Started barrel break in today. 50 rnds fired with the old 1 clean 2 clean and so on up to a couple of 10 and clean. This is representative of one of those 10 shot groups during break in. I think it may work out. Max spread of .75 with an average under .5. Ammo was handloads in surplus berdan cases. 150 gn fb, 43.5 gn Varget with an sd of 10.5 traveling at an average of 2700. Whatta Hobby!
