Jerry,
I've took a few pictures this morning. Not the greatest but they give you an idea. It is well done but the inletting could have been a little better. I think I could straighten out a few spots like the top of the buttplate and the tang area but it is not "my gun" although I'm the current owner. So, I think I'll leave it as is.

The barrel is original, extremely nice inside and out. It was cut to 26" rather than the ubiquitous 24" (is there a law somewhere about the need of 24" barrels for sporters?). The trigger, has been checkered but it is way too heavy. I'm going to install some adjustability there and see about lightening the spring as well.

Overall, it shoots pretty well, but really high. So in the targets below, buy the time I got to 23 or 24 grs of 5744, I was holding on the bottom of the bull or the lower edge of the paper. That created some eyestrain and my eyes have not been working out much lately (first match is next week). But even so, it seems to shoot okay. I think it should do better but I need a better aim point - and thus I need to fix that sight ramp.

Thanks all for pointing out that it is a Williams ramp. I googled them up and it does not appear that they still make sights like this one. If not, I'll look on ebay for a while, but I'm pondering what my other options might be. Suggestions are welcome.

Photos are not the greatest, but I threw in one of the underside - just because it has a brass washer (escutcheon) smile .

The targets were all shot at 100 yards. 5 shots per group, some sight picture and sight setting changes between groups changed centers of impact. After talking with Mike Venturino, I settled on 5744 powder and a 311284 cast GC bullet from NOE - weighs about 215 grs or something like that. Lubed with straight Liquid Alox and well crimped.
