Finally done decking out my pea shooter!

[Johnny5]

Well, it's been a long few years having the rifle made over into what it is today. It started life as a Remington Sendero and wound up being a full blown custom. Shoots like a house on fire and I'm finally satisfied (for now). Just thought I'd share. Cheers,

John

Mine is the AICS stocked rifle, the other is my buddy "Yardape's".

Another angle.

Stretchin her legs and trying out different field positions.

 

[Blackcloud]

Who built her up for yah?

Very nice!

 

[Johnny5]

Most of the smithing was done by Corlane (Rocky Mountain Rifles) out of Dawson Creek. The bedding and installation of the new stock I did myself.

Very nice piece of kit. Whats she wearin' for optics, Cal....?

My Sendero is with TMWSNBN getting tricked out as well, can't wait to get it back and do some shooting.

 

[Johnny5]

It's a Nightforce 5.5-22x50 with NP-R1 reticle.
Gaillard barrel chambered for .300 win mag.
TPS rings and Farrel 20 MOA base.


It weighs a ton but is pretty sturdy. Thats what I specified when I had it built. Had to be accurate and bomb-proof. I use it for hunting and target shooting.

Cheers,

John

 

[Yardape]

Very nice John. The one on the right looks alot like mine. Now I just need to learn how to shoot it.

 

[Jamie]

how do you like the NP-R1 reticle??it looks a tad busy.I plan on a 3.5/15 for my LTR

I love it! I used to have the NP-R2 on it but found that the spacing was a little much for use in competitions and I was constantly dialing the scope.

It is a tad busy but I find when I'm focusing in on a shot I can "tune out" all the clutter. I like the fact that once I have my zero set I don't really have tho dial the scope at all. Just know which line to use and shoot.

I love those AI stocks. My Remington will find itslef in one of those some day. Nice gun too. You should post some of your groups.

 

[Mauser Oberndorf]

How much does one of those AI stocks set you back?

 

[Johnny5]

Sure here are the last three 100 yard groups I shot with the rifle. Note the shiny quarters.

 

[Jamie]

Nice shooting!!


Jamie Barkwell

 

[Johnny5]

I think it was about 1200 with sling hooks and handstop.

 

[Jamie]

what twist and bullet are you using???My 300 loved the 178 AMAX


Jamie Barkwell

 

[MagnumPeanut]

Those are some impressive groups. Especially off a bipod. Good to see you can shoot as well as your gun. This is tactical shooting anyways, who needs a bench.

 

[Johnny5]

1 in 10 twist with 200 grain matchkings. H4831sc powder gettin' a bit over 2900 fps.

 

[Jamie]

thanks!!!

Jamie Barkwell

 

[Gunslinger]

Awesome!

 

[mdbuckle]

What does an AI stock run for these days?? Great pics, and great shooting by the way!

 

[Johnny5]

It was around the $1200 mark with the sling clips and handstop. Also keep in mind that it comes with one of the best removable mag systems on the market. 5 rounds of .300 win mag is nice.
