    243 Bench Rest rifle

    I have a friend that I just bought a 22K Hornet from that has a Bench rest 243 he wants me to sell for him. It is a beauty but I don't have all the details. The barrel is probably
    1 1/8 all the way down. Winchester type bolt safety installed. By the way it is a 98 Mauser. Single set trigger. Beautiful blue and walnut. It also has a 12X Leupold with Tally mount. Not a mark on it. The gun was built about 40 years ago. You have to know this guy, he is a perfectionist. The Hornet I bought is perfection.
    Anyway I'm going over and take photos and get all the details. I will put it on here first . Having never having any luck on the forum selling a rifle I don't expect many lookers but GB will sell it if it comes to that. For some varmint or target shooter this could make you proud. I don't varmint hunt anymore or I would have it . lol
    I will put it up later this week.

    My friend might be getting cold feet. I was over today to take photos and he said wait awhile ? lol I don't blame him. It is a beautiful piece.
    Here are a couple of photos of the K hornet I bought from him. The quality is the same.

    That K-Hornet you have is too pretty to hunt with. Almost.
    I like the double set triggers. Is it a CZ?

    It is pretty but I'm planning on shooting it. It is a Brno. Same as a CZ.
    I have to tear into the trigger. It is to hard for my liking. I fireformed some brass today. The guy that owned it only shot 40 gr jacketed bullets. They are good and I have them also but I'm going with 45 gr cast.
    I got 22 Hornet and 22K Hornet Redding dies and over 50 pc. of new brass with it. I already had 200 new Winchester brass. Did you know the old Winchester brass was 3+ gr. heaver than the new Winchester brass ? Keep that in mind.

    Remington brass has varied as well. I'm becoming a PPU brass fan for my high intensity rifles.
