Looks great! Is the barrel/action stainless? Also, who did the Cerakote for you?

I like the looks of a black fluted barrel.
 
Wow..That looks sweet Randy..Loved it when it was stainless but the black coating looks awesome..Gotta admitt Kampfield kicks but.

Hows it kickin now that the break is gone....??Thanks for posting your STA ...STA..Grin
 
Mike I shot it off the bench today and it kicked the crap out of me! Was just shooting some 225gr TSX. I have two boxes of 280gr AFrames that I will be working up a load. It shouid be fun.....lol....
 
Yup those Swift bullets will hurt.Which powder are ya using Randy?How does a guy post a pic here without posting a photobucket link?Anyone
 
With the 225gr TSX its RL-19.
Thinken I will try RL-22 when I go to the 280gr Swifts..
I tried to post a pic but had trouble so I just posted a link...
Would like to know how to do it to!!
 
I'm sure it's a handfull @ the bench, but nice it is. :)

Now that there is a rifle to hold on to for life! What a great lookin' machine. That would fit nicely into my collection between the 300 Rum and the 375 Rum. If recoil is wicked I would recommend a mercury recoil reducer be installed in the butt of the stock. FANTASTIC!!!
 
Ok I just got back from the 100yd range. It did ok. I still have a lot of work to do to get it just right. I was shooting 280gr Swift bullets and 86gr of H4813sc....

Nice shooting..Man that things moving..Not much that rifle and load couldn't take on this planet..Well maybe a horned up water buff.But I'd try without pause..
