Gunwerks action, Muller works 1-8 twist ,5 contour, SS fluted and cerakoted barrel. Timney trigger,carbon fiber stock ,VX 6HD scope. Weighs 8.12 pounds. Little heavy but put a large scope on it for my bad eyes. Is a dream to shoot so far.

Thanks I wish I could take credit for the build and load development, but a friend who was a SF sniper gets all the credit! Hopefully my next one for the wife I can be more involved. I am just squeezing the trigger on this one.

Great looking rifle!

 

[nuclear worker]

Thanks love the gun! My first non factory gun,wow what a difference! Of course what a different price also

 

[Catahoula]

Super slick set-up! Enjoy it....

Bolts on correct side even.

 

[nuclear worker]

Hard to even get parts for a gun with the bolt on the correct side!

 

[nuclear worker]

Got to stretch it’s legs today. Did some shooting at 450 off bipod laying on ground. 4” groups. Not bad but it was me not the gun. Still learning

 

[mtnwrunner]

Yup, bolt is on the correct side and you got a great caliber. My current go to is also a correct handed tikka 6.5 x 284 and it's a hammer.

Thanks not many of us south paws. When I was in basic training they made me shoot right hand, couldn’t hit shit. Let me qualify lefty and qualified expert.

Training is going good I do 120 flights of steps with 87 pounds in pack in the morning. Then after work do 120 flights again to simulate coming off the mountain at the end of the day. Days in between I go to a local gravel pit and hump up and down the sides with same weight. Then I have targets set up at 300 yards that I shoot when I get to the top and out of breath. Hopefully all the pain is going to be worth it

be oh so careful coming down the stairs, especially with that much weight ! slow and easy down should be the rule
