It's coming together! Can't wait to work up some loads!
 
Bear blade the gun looks great!


Sean, so is that your lathe at work in the pictures??

Forgive my lack of observation if the name of the builder has already bean mentioned.
 
very nice

i am seriously thinking about one of those stocks for fclass in the ff class,is it possible to give me a good idea of what it weights as it sits without the scope please pretty please..

what is the barrel lenght and contour and finished at the muzzle??what do you think of the overall stock fit finish and the way it balances.is it possible to put a mercury tube in the butt for balance and to tame recoil??sorry for all the questions but i would like to get all the info i can before i start a project and find out i went the wrong way.it looks very sharp.
thank you Darin
 
Just picked my lower jaw off the floor. I'm generaly more a wood furniture type, but that rig is just awesome. Congrats.

1x10 twist, what do you plan to use for projectiles?
 
I'm planning a mixed bag test, It may tak me til spring to play out some of the combos, But I would expext anything from 175 gr and up to fly the best. We will have to see what she likes best! :D (Still excited)

It has been a long time since I got to do any serious load work up. Would be curious to hear potential load/projectile predictions.

Barrel is 28", 1" at the muzzle, fit and finish is exceptionally good, A recoil reducing tube could be added

14 pounds,so to make weight with a nightforce and bypod will be very close.i am assuming you have not shot the rifle yet i will be curious to know how it will track.does it seem to be nose heavy or does it balance?is the check piece adjustible forward and backwards?hope you keep us updated once you start shooting it good luck.

thanks for the info Darin
 
Excuse me if this is crass, I've never been good with manners, but.... HOW MUCH! Holey crap it is beautiful and i want one. Something similar at least.

I weighed it with the bipod on and rounded it off, 13.2# with no bipod on.

You can't have one, the Precious is mine! :evil:

As for cost, that is up to the builder to reveal.

And yes, it is quite a piece of kit to say the least!

Nice Job Sean! :cheers:
 
Decided to make a switch and go with this knob...

Any thoughts or opinions? More for curiosity sake as this shape suits me better.
