Did some scope swapping and removed the 4.5-14x Leupold from my .223 Contender Pistol barrel. Replacing it with the 2-7x Vortex Scout Scope and Nikon base.
Sighted it in yeaterday at 100 yards with 77gr Mark 262 Mod 1 Ammo (77gr SMK).

He fired 5 rounds at 100 yards.
Not bad for his first time shooting the gun. I think this will be our practice gun for the upcoming season.
The .308 Win SP is off at my friend’s getting threaded for a brake. I have a reduced load worked up for it that I intend to use for the boy. If not, I have an 80gr A-Max loaf for the .223 Contender that I know kills deer as I took one with it at 140 yards a few years ago. If the .308 isn’t ready or I feel the boy isn’t ready, I’ve no problem letting him use the 80gr A-Max from this Pistol.
Only time will tell.

My friend timed the brake to the barrel after the fact.
Not bad? You have a very good handle on understatement.

Either way, I want him to take one with a SP this year.
But I am desperate to see more pics of the heavy .243 rifle. It's been a while. I am still planning to build something similar one day. When the cards align.
