Not always. An acquaintance propelled a .22 rod downrange with a 63 grainer in a .223. He swore his gunsmith to secrecy after he had the rig checked out. I was about the 10th call the smith made that morning.

Some like a brewery horse.

Who was it once averred (on this site as I recall) that it was his constitutional right to smoke cigars on the bench.

The one plus with the Sako is that it has that nice squared integral lug that can be used to mitigate against crushing the action ring as Al says if the wrench is well fitted.

No chance the action screw is interfering?

The huntsman's a poor inoffensive fellow that doesn't make a web but keeps the place clean of flies & cockroaches, if you let him. He just gets a bad rep from those with arachnophobia.

Quitter! :cool:

Have a leftie friend who does that all the time. Works best on scopes with similar windage & elevation capacity.

Cutting oil with sulfur in it can assist with recalcitrant bores. Scrub it in on a brush, leave overnight, for example, then patch out. It worked for me with a turn of the last century African .375/2¼ Enfield.

Could you have the cheek modified with a groove/slot for the rod without upsetting the feel when you're shooting - or are you reluctant to modify the stock?

Back in the days if my youth when we'd file the tip of military .303 brass & hunt with that with our sportrised SMLEs, we'd inevitably find that the necks would split in firing in more than 50% of the brass. That stuff was 20-50 years old.

When I had mine done, the replacement lenses came in ½ dioptre increments, so, if the ophthalmologist measures your eye accurately, you could still end up with up to ¼ dioptre miss on perfect vision. As it turned out, my left (off) eye is spot on, way better than 20/20, but the master eye is ¼...

Do any of your vests contain explosives and a means of detonation? :confused:

Gets me to https://www.nbrsa.org/ & so does nbrsa.org but, he, I'm only an Aussie

Speak for yourself. Hereabouts, you can't get your driver's license renewed if you have type 2 diabetes & are on meds without a letter from your doctor. But if you don't take them the day you apply, you can honestly say your treating yourself diet only ........... You don't get old by being...

This is when we start paying back for back when we were fit & our bones didn't creak hardly at all.

Maybe?

On the other side of the coin, I can't ever recall competitions being run midweek as a matter of course, so it's not difficult if you have more than a few of disciplines for competitions to take over the range every weekend leaving casual shooters out in the cold.

Had a friend decided to make a fixed rest to test his loads, using a vice connected to a steel monster something like one of those folding work benches. His first shot had the bell of the scope belted by the barrel not quite enough to shatter the lens, but good enough to make the lock ring...
