How did I do? all Factory barrel markings are intact. there is a gap in the wood by the reciever tang screw and I am gonna relieve it out even more and put a pearl inlay there to encompass the tang and swoop back toward the grip and end in a point like a diamond. soon as I make the inlay, .
still got some little things left to do, but I am going out to set up some ladder stands and camp on/scout some new hunting land with my hunting party, for a pig hunt next mid month.
Absolutely beautiful!! Great Job. I'm in the process of buying a M28/76 barreled action and you gave me some great ideas about a stock. Thanks for the great info throughout your project.

yep Boyds stock. on the bold, leave those comments at the door please.
Great job Gunney, she sure is a beaut'. As for the bolt, no need to change it. I have a few bent bolts, but only because of the standard eye relief scope. I prefer to work the stock bolt, as you can really grip and rip though rounds. If anything, maybe a max_shep pull ring cocking piece to engage the safety with gloves on. Think he sells them for $26.

So what load are you going to use?
for hunting-for now, either 203 grain Silver Bear SP's or 180 grain Sellier&Bellot SP's. both perform very well in my rifle. mainly the Silver Bears as they produce slightly better groups and are cheaper.
Looks outstanding Gunney!! Thanks for posting the video.
Indeed, looks sweet! I did something similar with mine, except I cut back the original stock to the lower barrel band, removed the upper wood, refinished the stock with black stain, and installed the Rock Solid scope mount and a nice enough 2-7x 32mm scope on it. Looks good, balances much better, shoots great.
And now for the rest of the story....
Went and bought a Ruger American Rifle in .308. Gave the Mosin to my best bud.
He loves it. It was his birthday, what can I say? LOL
