When I picked it up he politely told me to never bring him another and mine would be the only Bmag he would ever be bedding.
Had him chop the barrel back to 20 inches and thread it for my suppressor.
Used a 1pc pic rail from DIP Inc and a set of low Weaver rings to mount a Leupy Vari X III 4.4-14x40AO scope I had sitting on the shelf.
I bought a set of go/no go gauges for the 17 WSM from PT&G and mine checked out ok.
These things are easy to tune the trigger on and they respond well to a little messaging. Mine breaks crisp and clean at under 2lbs now. Cleaning up the trigger has nearly eliminate all of my FTF issues also. I can't remember the last time I had a FTF.
I shoot my Bmag suppressed 100% of the time and though it will certainly never win any awards for engineering or design, mine shoots very well and I've come to enjoy shooting it a lot and it is one of my favorite ground squirrel guns.
