after a bunch of elbow grease polishing the barrel, ctting and crowning, turning the rear sight off, doing the scope mount and polishing the bolt and chamber(it is SLICK!!), now it was time to spend some $$ on the Finn
first was the trigger. I went with timney, the only other option being Huber concepts. I really didn't understand how the Huber was going to make a dramatic difference over polishing, I must be missing something, 100$ for just the actual trigger, I get that it's supposed to take away the trigger pin, but I just didn't feel confident with it.. either way, I felt like a dope spending 90$ on a trigger, but when you see the timney in person, you don't feel ripped off at all, it's some real quality stuff, and breaks awesome.
my only gripe is I couldn't find one with a stainless trigger, all good though, very happy with it.
I was torn on stocks, and was thinking I would be happiest with a wooden custom stock, but my wife cleared that up for me when she got me the archangel for Christmas. the stock is pretty impressive. super duper tight, I can't find play anywhere and the barrel is really free all the way to the lug.the cheek riser goes insanely high, you could put high rings and still get a proper weld. and I think with the scope over the receiver, the detachable mags are going to be a blessing.
has the bushnell 1-9x from my AR and a vanguard equalizer bi-pod(which is really nice, but way too tall for this application). also threw on a stainless brake last weekend.
I may weld the scope mount and reblue the receiver in the future, but for now, I'm just ready to shoot it. we have a date at the range on Tuesday with a variety of bullets.
