Rainy crappy weather so needed to find something to do inside. Nothing amazing, I've got a few things sitting around idly so had a look a what I had. First a slazenger m55 that's had a rail fitted to it then a rummage around and I came up with some mounts and a period (sort of) tasco 4x40 scope, one with the old tv screen type view when you look through it. Threw it together to see how it felt and looked. Looks ok scopes clear but could do with lower mounts. Metal work needs a bit of a tidy up and reblue might even thread it for a suppressor, and while I'm at it may as well redo the stock. I just want to take it out and shoot it and make sure its ok in that department and then ill do the reblue and wood. After I've done that one I've got another aussie to do as well, a sportco semi.

ended up threading the m55 and took it for a shoot. I've heard they are quite an accurate rifle and this one is. Got another project on the go as well, a parker hale 243 that shoots ok but Id like it to shoot better. I'm in the process of doing my first bedding job so a bit nervous about that one...
