Of course and those Tossers are no doubt more than happy to invest in a real of camo tape. It is after all a “working rifle”.

Save on camo tape and use Humbrol spray paint left over from airfix kits.
Think the tape comes on reels.
Just dropped working days down to three, 
Will be using the time to do just that, although it's initial showing with factory means a shorter journey into home produced, and thank you Andy for the short turn around on the less than common calibre.

Very welcome Steve, good to see the transition from a box of parts to a working rifle again
Doubly satisfying that I was there to assist with zeroing and first proper accuracy test
Always nice to see how my builds perform and it’s rare I am there to see the owner shoot

Hornady state 2960 out of 24” not checked over a gate yet but a reliable source said their factory stuff has some respect.
I have an extended wait for Lapua 6.5 PRC brass / Redding dies, Lapua keep moving the goal posts for Mark (Spud)
I was very impressed by the way, by this "Cheaper" Phillipines built scope, Tracking was absolutely superb and positive.
Just out of curiosity, I put a caliper on these red diamonds, 18mm North to South, 14mm across West to East, going to a bit of ground for fox tonight, ground big enough to use the PRC & try some better loads in the Winnie.....Visual proof. First two low & left after a bore sight & @ tad under the hundred, a further handful of rounds walked in expertly by Andy, final round in the sweet spot, this with factory offerings.
....... 
Last night, I used the remaining daylight to shoot to 200 yds with the new / old girl, The first round after putting on clicks landed a tad high & right over the aiming point, back down to four clicks on from 100 yds poi, & a two round print on the aiming mark, I was aware of my heartbeat moving the reticle about, so I was happy with a gap of around three quarters of an inch between impacts, A confirmation shot on a steel gong measuring around three & a half inches, landed just right of centre of the plate. Must practice more on squeezing off in same point of chest movements.
Had a chance to put two or three rounds of this factory stuff through a gate this morning, 3100 fps.
And the Winnie is behaving properly now after a three day soak/scrub/patch, 3100 fps with GMX reloads into an inch group @ 100 yds, Also had a quick grouping check for the 25-06 with Thermion, 3200 fps 100 grain soft points for Autumn.
Sounds like your more than good, to go! Proper job!

And why would that be, If clench doesn't like the stock It doesn't follow that he can't appreciate Ronins work.
It seems to me that people of your opinion should take a good look in the mirror at themselves.

Lighten up Uncas old bean. That was purely written in jest, and I feel appropriate. Klenchblaize's banter in other threads would suggest he's not easily offended and he hasn't complained about my cutting remark so I imagine he either isn't offended or he doesn't care what I think.
