In the sun the grain moves like a hologram. I did hit it with one coat of walnut stain, just to bring it up a bit. If you ever get yourself one of those Springfields I highly recommend Fred.
Then I glass bedded it. It's wicked accurate out to 500 which is the longest I've been able to work with it. But I have no doubt that it's a no shit 1,000 yard rifle.
This is a Springfield Armory that went through their custom shop, fancy barrel, etc. Belongs to a buddy my age who is still a contractor.

Another buddy is shooting it while I took this picture. We were dinging 20" steel plates on yonder mountains near Las Vegas. You can't do this in Florida!
