Just finished up this build a couple weeks ago, only got to shoot it one day before going in to work for a week.
-The action is a Pierce short action repeater. I got this form juanvaldez of North Shore BBL's.
-The BBl is a #7 Shlien Select match 308 10 twist from Mystic Precision
-Stock is a HS Precision I got used off the EE
-I chambered in 308 with a PTG Palma Bisley reamer from winchester_070 of Bighorn Sales
-I did all the gunsmithing myself on my Busy Bee 12x36 lathe.
I am not a precision rifle shooter or a precision reloader by any stretch of the imagination. The main reason I built this rifle was to test myself. To see how accurate of a rifle I could build with my smithing skills,, as well as learn how to shoot and reload on a level I have never attempted before.
I chambered, screwed the bbl on, bedded the stock and put the only scope I had available on it a 2-7x33 Leupold
Here is the rifle.
I shot a few rounds of Rem Core loc factory ammo through it to get it on paper and do a little of the shoot-clean thing.
Then I grabbed some random Remington brass I had sitting on the shelf for a few years put a random charge of R15 in it and seated five 155 matchking to a random OAL. I also made 3 rounds with a 178g A-Max, again totally random.
Here is my first 5 shot group out of the rifle with my random 155g MK load as well as the 3 shot group with my random 178g A-max load. Range is 105 yards.
Yep, it shoots.
