The scoped X7 has been glasbed. It helped the accuracy. I don't usually as a habit shoot good groups with this rifle, but i 'know' i can hit a deer with the X7 @ 300 yard. Probably never will, but if i ever get the chance, i won't pass.

It is full length glasbed from the end of the stock to the end of the action, and includes both lugs. I didn't do any pillar work. Doing a glasbed project isn't fun for me. There is only one thing that can go right, and a jillion things that can go wrong. The ram rod channel has to be protected, of course. One fella say he used silly putty; i used a piece of wood covered by masking tape, and painted on a lot of that bond breaker juice.

After 10 or so hour, i had to beat the barrel out of the stock, but it came out. I used plenty of bond breaker juice that came in the box. Today, the barrel still fits very tightly. The barrel is hard to remove from the stock now, and it also goes in hard.
