Recently got the rifle cerakoted

That is a sweet looking rifle. My 308 NM is a Parker Hale Safari. Good accurate rifle. One of my favorite 30's. - dan

I am a lefty and I love what you are putting together maybe a little heavier than I would build I like around 8lbs -8.2lbs for that cartridge but it is not mine and should be a shooter for sure.

very nice rig and esppecially for us the left handed peons.

still like the montana 1999 action?

Late to the party, cool build and chambering. Nice action choice haven’t built on one yet, keep getting close then getting distracted.

Been a busy year, hadn't gotten the 308 Norma out until yesterday. Mounted a Vx3i 3.5-10x40 CDS ZL2 on it.Five clicks to the right and she'll be ready for moose. 180gr Nosler Accubond over 74.7grs RL26

Looking good! Good luck.

I liked that rifle the first time I laid eyes on it! Now you need to take that moose down, Mark.
Not a thing wrong with accuracy nor velocity. Dave.

Nice set up, looks like it's ready to rock.

What the frig are you talking about? Looks like a hunting rifle to me... All be it, one that desperately needs a can of Krylon as opposed to crayon...

Edit; now that I see your Avatar, it may have been sarcasm...

Very nice rifle and classic cartridge. The entire setup is a great choice for moose and elk. I'm also waiting for my custom 300 H&H. I should receive it by mid October, but won't be used until next year. Good luck harvesting old swamp donkey!

 

[Markus]

Nice build. Any feedback on the Montana action?

 

[todbartell]

I wanted controlled round feed on this rifle, and finding a left hand m70 isn't easy. The Montana 1999 is working well, no issues

 

[dan belisle]

Nice build. Any feedback on the Montana action?

I've owned a couple, have a friend with two of the southpaw versions. No issues for either of us. - dan

 

[todbartell]

Got a chance today to send a couple at 300m

 

[blargon]

dead moose!

 

[Leeper]

You see a couple of guys talking on the corner and you would never call them a group of guys. Likewise, that's not a group of bullet holes though, to be fair, most guys would have left the middle one uncovered and claimed it as the other of the pair. Seriously, I often fire just two shots from hunting rifles. After all, after two shots, the animal is already dead! Right? That appears to be a good shooting rifle.

 

[todbartell]

The target was up when I got there, and like usual at 300m, there's only one or none holes in it. So I pasted it over and walked back to the bench. Already had fired six rounds at 100m, only ten rounds left loaded of that Accubond load. I figured I can spare two, the rest will come with me on the hunt. Have 50 rounds loaded of other loads that share a pretty similar point of impact out (180gr A-Frames, 180gr Win PP, 212gr ELDx) and a gun safe full of other rifles aren't far away if needed

 

[Eagleye]

Any hunting rifle that maintains < ¾ moa out at 300 and beyond is a very fine shooting iron, and will mean "Meat in the pot"
as long as the shooter does his part. Right, Mark?
