It is, If it sells ill upgrade to a Cadex Dual strike with ELR extender. Just think that looks cooler, not that this isnt already pretty nifty.
Yup! CHAS is the main place I shoot currently.

I did a little internet creep and realized I know you. Lol. My wife and I have shot with you in Mcmurray and chas before.
Ill be trying my best to come up to McMurray to shoot your F class matches this year!
Hit 2840 Fps with 59gr of N570. -5c. Brand new barrel. Previous barrels I've experienced a 100fps + Gain once shot in a bit. So we will see how that goes. N570 isnt the ideal choice byt it was what I had on hand, waiting for some N565 to be delivered.
As expected. Very little recoil. Took it out all the way to 800m

RL23 is magic with the heavies if you can find it.
Seems to fall between N560 and N565 (in that cartridge, anyway).

RL 22 was pretty darn good with 160gr and H1000.
As pictured its sitting at 27~ lbs
I have about 5lbs of chassis weights coming and a heavier bipod should get me to the 35lb goal
Why so heavy? Is this an F-Class thing (I have no knowledge in that field)? My .300 Norma Mag has a massive (MTU-Heavy Varmint hybrid contour) 29.5" barrel and only weighs 21-22lbs. With a 5-port Insite Heathen brake, it's a real pussy cat to shoot (like watch your trace soft). No judgement, just curious why the 35lbs weight target.
Absolutely no real reason other than i think a gun that has a 35" Barrel and is 35lbs is funny.
F Class open is a MAX weight of 22 lbs .

What did they charge you to do the one piece?
I Cant recall exactly, but it was a very good rate! they even did a Mil-Discount for me. worth a call and ask!
Great looking rifle. That speed sounds about right... never really found super long barrels to give me that 'extra' speed expected. Maybe your barrel will speed up??? for me, the fastest accurate speeds were always in the first 100rds+ then the barrel slowed down as internal pressures increased.
Enjoy...

PS, keep an eye on the bolt lugs and uneven wear. That is a whole lot of barrel hanging off the front unsupported (assume you didn't bed the action). Actions can bend under load.
