New long range hunting rig

[Shawn_338]

Here is the newest addition to my addiction. It's a 7mm stw, built on and benchmark action, benchmark carbon wrap barrel 9 twist finished at 28", apa break, mcmillan a3 stock, rifle basix trigger, and a factory bottom metal while I'm waiting for my new one to show up. Gun is bedded with devcon. Nice lite gun, haven't had a chance to shoot it yet due to work but I'll have a range report soon. Optics will be a NF 5-20x56 in NF rings, just haven't had time to mount it yet.

What hunts are you planning on using it for?

Looks good! Be interested how the benchmark carbon wrappeds work out, Gary was just telling me about those. You should probably do a review on that action as I'm sure nobody up here has seen one yet.

How do the benchmark carbon fiber barrels compare in price to the proof research barrels?

I'm pretty sure I have the only one in Canada so far s/n on it is 003, it's very smooth and as soon as I have time to shoot it I'll post some results for sure

Not sure how much proof barrels are, these are pricey but worth it I think. I'm a huge benchmark fan

 

[Robmcleod82]

What I coincidence, I am a huge benchmark fan as well.

 

[Shawn_338]

Perfect we'll get along great then haha

Proof are around 1k I think.

My gunsmith had a carbon wrapped benchmark barrel in his shop about a month ago when I was there, looked like a nice unit.

Beautiful rifle. Who did the smithing for it?

Nice outfit and good glass. I imagine that loaded with 180 gr Bergers that thing will really stretch its legs.
