I picked up this rifle last week just to see why everyone loved the White's so much. I know it's the bottom end gun but wow, this thing is smooth. It's a .540 and I was shooting Hornady GP 425's with 70 grains of RS. Hardly any kick which really surprised me. I believe it has a Wilson Barrel in a 1/28 twist.





I started at 50 yards and with my eyes I need to choose between seeing the target with my glasses or seeing the sights without them. Either way, one of the two will be fuzzy. The top three shots were clear target and fuzzy sights. I have no doubt these would stack up if I scoped it.



The gun came with bases but I'm not sure which rings will fit these. Does anyone know from the picture what rings to buy? I'm thinking about a Simmons Pro Diamond.



Lastly, the stock is wood with an orange peel coating. I really had to hammer the conical's hard to pass the crown and I was a little worried I'd break it at the grip. I read on another site that these can be strengthened by drilling a 3/8" hole and gluing a dowel in for support. Anyone ever seen tips on this job?
