Glenn,
"Michael: Yes, I will be shooting it at Lodi. No better place do do barrel break in than at a world creedmoor match."
Good luck , I hope you do well. If you have time say hello to my two friends from Alaska who will be shooting there, Mike-G and Bob-I.

I know those two guys! I had no idea they were coming down. I will be sure to give them your regards.

If it shoots anywhere near as good as it looks, you've got a winner for sure!

Glenn:
Now that you've mastered the Wesson, what's next? Given any thought to a Farrow or a Wurfflein?

Gentlemens:
Thanks again.
The rifle shot pretty well at the shorter ranges, including a truly impressive string at 900. Howsomever, it seemed to come undone a bit at 1000. I was afraid that might be the case, what with it only being a .45-70 shooting a 500 grain bullet. This was all supposed to have been tested out six months ago and the barrel rechambered to .45-90 if the 70 was found wanting, but the rifle was not done in time to do any testing. Like I always say sometimes, "Want to give God a good laugh? Tell Him your plans..."
None the less, it was not too embarrassing and after not making the cut for the American team, I was chosen to fill out the New Zealand team, as they did not have enough nationals to field a complete team. Shooting with those folks was a wonderful experience. I would do that again in a heartbeat.
All in all I had a wonderful time, and if I did not shoot particularly well at least I looked good doing it. I made some friends and learned some valuable things regarding reading conditions and techniques from my teammates.
Mr. Petrov:
As luck would have it, I was paired with Bob E. for the individual competitions and spent two days shooting with him. One could not ask for a more agreeable partner. I enjoyed those two days as much as the team match.
Mr. 40x:
No plans for a Farrow or Wurfflein. The next rifle I build that is not for someone else will be on a beautiful Fraser reproduction that is currently under construction. It will be a sporting rifle chambered in .400-.350. The one after that, if I ever get that far, will be on a Gibbs Farquharson action.
Best to all,
Glenn

Glenn,
Were those sight settings even close to sort of useful?

I'm very surprised that Glen's deliberate mistake hasn't been spotted yet. It's on picture 3 on page one of this thread. I'm sure Glenn has just done this to wind us up, but I for one have spotted it. Old Eagle eye strikes again. lol.
Beautiful work as usual Glenn, and I know you just made that error deliberately and that you can rectify it in less than 5 seconds.

The only mistake I see is that it doesn't say "made for Brent" on the Rigby flat  Brent
