Well I recently had a custom EDGE built For me By ATRS and due to work and waiting on DHL and Whole sale sports for supplies its been sitting in the safe burning a hole in my mind . So this weekend everything came together and I got to take it out for the first time . After I got it sighted in at 100 I took it out and did a drop chart out to 500 now I know this is only short range for this rifle but thats all time allowed . And all I have to say is this thing is AWSOME . Now the next time out im hopeing to really get out there maybe 1000+ . This is all new to me this is my first long range rifle and I must say im hooked

I want to say a big THANK YOU to the team at ATRS for not only building the rifle but helping me with every step.

Now the details
LH 700 Rem action Fully Accurized
30" Rock Creek Barrel 1 in 9.4 twist
ARTS muzzle Break
McMillan A5
Jewel Trigger
ARTS recoil Lug
ARTS Bolt Knob
NF 5.5X22-56 NP-R2

LOL ok Rick made the changes And ear plugs will deffently be on hand at all times. Iv got to say your muzzle Break is worth every penny im only a small fella 150lbs and this rifle has less kick then my old 308.

Now I havent done any load workup for the rife yet and I forgot to mention in the original post but this is the first time I have ever tryed relaoding . Just so you know how new my bullets powder and brass arrived at the house two days befor all of my reloading gear . But with the loads I was using I was getting around 3/4moa all the way out to 500yrds I even more saprized when i shot a 1 3/4" group at 400yards but you might call it cheating I shot two rounds on target waited about 10 minets then shot a rock that was right beside my target then put the last one on target

Im not sure were the sling came from its one I got from Rick but its a pretty good piece of gear it can be worn as a backpack or as a regular over the shoulder sling

I designed that sling, that particular 1 is 1 of the early prototypes.
The idea being that you can carry the rifle on 1 shoulder, or wear the rifle backpack style if you should need the use of both hands.
I set this up after having to try and drag an animal back to the truck while hunting with my 50 cal that weighs 28 lbs a few years ago.
They work well and are a fair bit more than $5.00:)
The latest generation should be in stock in about 4 weeks.
