My rig is FINALLY done!!!

[skooch]

Well, this has been a pipe dream for the last 6 years and finally had funds to build her. Many thanks to Rocky Mountain Rifles of Dawson Creek, BC for making it a reality.

I know its not the best photo. Here are the specs:
-Rem 700 action, trued and Phase II Accurizing
-Bolt sleeved and lapped, Badger Ord. bolt knob
-Gre-Tan Firing Pin Lite assembly
-Tubb Recoil Lug
-Krieger 27.5" #17 Heavy Contour SS barrel with muzzle brake, 300 WM match camber, 1:10 twist
-Jewell 2lb B,C trigger
-Accuracy International AICS 1.5 LA stock
-Nightforce 40 MOA base and rings
-Nightforce 5.5-22x50mm NSX with MLR
I will be taking it out for a test drive within the next week. I can't wait!

Looks nice What caliber? The boys in Dawson do a good job I've had 4 rifles built by them.

 

[Paulinski]

very nice ,,,,drool,,,,

 

[chemo]

how much?

 

[skooch]

Parts around $3200. I was collecting parts for 2 years so I don't know the exact tally. The optics, rings and base, well, $2300 as we all know. The labor was quite affordable at $800 (shipping and case included). Grad total of around $6300. In a build like this it was the parts that were the limiting factor. The labor really isn't that much of a concern.

Awesome rig man...how did you come to the decision on caliber...

 

[lbgun]

NICE RIFLE! Let us know how she shoots.

 

[skooch]

Caliber choice was three fold. First, I wanted to have a long action caliber that has plenty of ammo and data availability. Second, I wanted to keep my rifle calibers to 22 and 30 to limit the need for extra components. And third, because the barrel came up for sale on the EE and the price was right .

nice rifle

If you haven't decided on a bullet, I would suggest the 208gr Amax and 210gr Berger.

H1000, Retumbo, Re25 lit by a Fed 215M primer.

My guess that once tuned, you will be looking at 1 to 1 1/4" at 300m 5rds groups.

The ingredients are definitely there....nice rig

Enjoy.
