A naval subbie put it together; interviewed all the top scoring competitors on what methods they had used to bed their particular rifles. Included are hand drawn sketches on where the work was done, materials used i.e. sheets of cork, hardwood draws, etc.
If I get off my ass long enough, I'm going to put all my collected pams, gun plumber sheets, etc into a Dropbox account freely accessible to all. I just have to figure out how to set it up.
Any alleged expert who wants to dismiss the No4 Mk1 is self-identifying as somebody who never once spent five minutes at Bisley, Connaught, etc to watch the best belly shooters in the Commonwealth nations prove what that rifle can do with aperture sights shooting the Bisley aggregate (200 - 900 yards). And do it with military ball ammunition.
