    UF55 Range Rifle

    Last time I took this rifle out, it was throwing shots all over the landscape and then started stringing vertically---which indicated to me that the damned thing was either disintegrating in my hands or demon possessed.
    I was wrong on both counts.
    1.It doesn't like PPU boattails.
    2.The handguard was riding the front sight block.

    I did some serious front band staking to fix the handguard and took it out to the range again today.
    After running some very aggravating "groups" with the PPU, I ran one last string with the FNB 86 and it's odd Frenchicon pattern bullet. Two elevation and one windage correction got the 100yard target pictured here.
    Photos of the expensive and complicated Schattenbaum Accurizing System to follow later.
