Here's a pic of my .308 made by the Sean at North Shore Barrels I am waiting on lower rings should be in next week. The rifle is a rem700 trued action with 18.5" Broughton 1-10 twist barrel H-S Precision stock Rifle Basix trigger set at 2lbs scope base is a Nightforce 40 MOA one piece base . I bedded it and painted it myself bolt knob I made on the lathe out of Delrin need to make one outta of alum. when I get a chance. I am very happy with Seans work! I will post some 200m targets when I get home later today.

DG,

it is very cool. Was the stock originally green? If so I would never have changed its colour. The green was uber cool.
 
Looks awesome! If it shoots anywhere near as good as the 308 Sean built me you're going to be VERY happy! My 10 twist Broughton has shot everything from Sierra 2155s to 200 Hybrids very well. Looking forward to seeing the targets.

You say this after I spent $12 on my rattle me can paint job! How dare you!:p
The original color was black so I added some color to it:D All I need now is a light cheater trigger ####! there goes another $300

I want to try something in the 200's what powder are you using and how many grains.

I think we need to buy Sean a custom Barrel Pimp Fedora! I volunteer to make the pimp cane Laugh2
 
I have a 16.5 on my aics 2.0 folder and love it. Love short barreled rifles. Unfortunately I just finished my 6mm crusader and it's got a long freaking pipe on it. I'll manage though with what it does but love the compact stuff.

Nice rig. You will still be able to reach out with it. With 175's try around 45g of varget. Used it on both 175 smk and the Berger vld's.
 
win brass,175 smk fed 210M primers and 44.3 grs max mag length in factory guns ( work up) but in 5 short 308s I had it was a magic load
 
Jamie I ordered some H4895 is there much difference from the
IMR4895 or same thing burn rate wise. If there is a dif I will change
My order to IMR
