This ones just sort of a piece of this, and a piece of that. Most of my Ulti is in there somewhere.
I had read a lot about the GM heavy taper, and wanted to try one out.
As luck would have it the heavy taper barrel and the S&K stock became available at almost the same time. A plan was formed.
I had intended to use a Que bolt for this build. My teenage sons found the bolts Que did for me on my work bench and decided to put them in their guns
Oh well.... can't say as I blame them. Guess I'll send their bolts to Que to get done.

Like I said, I had done a bunch of reading on the heavy taper, one of the things that stood out to me was the success Vincent is having with his bedding method. I guess the fact that it was done on more than one rifle, with very good results made me want to give it a try. So I used his method. I have to admit I was worried after I did the action, it's very tight and at first I thought I had stuck them together. It did come apart thank goodness.
I took the rifle to the range and fired a few hundred rounds. I was just messing around but couldn't help but notice how accurate it seemed. I broke out the wolf and shot a few groups. Here's a photo of the first target.

I'm thinking this one might get in a game or two, what do you guys think?
