Old tenon (Sako original barrel) was .020โ€ undersize) established after measuring the action

The barrel was so loose in the action thread it could be described as a โ€œwizards sleeve fitโ€

The new tenon is a โ€œslightlyโ€ better fit ,,,,not reminiscent of sloppy seconds

Barrel now chambered in 222
Very nice work.
 
The 222 was the first centerfire cartridge I ever fired . I shot my grandfathers 722 in 222 he purchased new in 1958 . I was about 8 when I fired the 722 that woulda been 1969 . His 722 has been in my possession now for about 16 years . My grandfather killed a boat load of groundhogs with it as well as a pile of hawks and one truely huge 6 point whitetail buck , the spread on the buck is 23โ€ inches now even after drying for 54 years .

.222 Historically accurate, and will be confined to a 200 yard foxing gun, but more so for the least disturbance at night, OK, can't do Ow't for the supersonic crack, but there will not be a perceptible boom shooting it through an ASE SL5.
Wisdom beyond words sir!
The young SD whippersnappers should marvel, bow their heads and give thanks for this post.
And then buy oneโ€ฆ.

Nice, is that an 11 degree target crown?
Ken.
:), Not sure, but it IS the jewel in the crown, picking up tomorrow, setting it up Saturday morning.
.25-06 sight stripped off, rail off, mag & bolt out... on deep clean, bore scope tomorrow for a condition check.
If declared in decent condition will put it up for sale.:thumb:
