Contrary to my whimsical Precision rifle post, it is the beast responsible for this target.

I have others built on XR100's but Richard's look more flamboyant than mine.
 
Ok, maybe not as fancy as some but I love it!

Barks, that configuration represents (in my mind) the ultimate varmint gun. Fast, phenomenally accurate and comfortable to shoot.

That is one sweet rig you have there!!!

I've only taken it out once - target pic is using virgin brass and was my very first 5 shots.
Look forward to some significant improvements using fire formed brass and tweaked loads:D

That is a beautiful rig! If I read this correctly, you are using 75 gr. Vmax? They obviously work very well! I suspect a heavier bullet will really shine. like 107 Sierra or a 105 Berger.
 
dog gone it :mad:, there was a custom build 6mmBR at the last gun show that caught my eye, I sort of thought at the time, that I should take it, but I didn't, for some dumb reason, now as we speak, I'm searching for the dealer's contact # to see if he still has it!
