[bowhunter_2]

Man what a sweet ride! I know you've gotta be excited

[RedRaider7]

I forgot to mention, awesome build!

[dcw]

Sweet!!!!

[CADDOKILLER]

SOB!! This makes me want to build another LOL

Great looking gun. Looking forward to seeing how it shoots.

What bullet have you decided on?

Thinking the 208g hornady A-Max

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

208's will work nicely. my custom 300WM loves them but only shot them out to 950 yards.seem to handle the wind a bit better then the 200g SMK's.

Holy smoke! Sharp lookin rifle. Would you mind sharing a ballpark number of what you paid for the rifle alone? I'm just curious what a good looking custom rifle like that runs.

I will do you one better than that. I will tell you exactly what it cost


400 Remington donor action
545 Mcmillan stock
300 rock creek barrel
225 jewell trigger
129 PTG bottom metal
40 badger recoil lug
240 atlas quick detach bipod
140 cerakoting
1025 for all the gunsmith work including fluting of the barrel and bolt, tac knob, chambering, blueprinting the action, opened the scope base holes to 8-40, muzzle brake and install etc

This started out as a pretty simple build. But the more I got into it the more and more it started adding up. I wish I had just gone with a stiller action to begin with but like I said I had no plans to go this far with this build. It just kinda happened.

Its a lot of money into a rifle (for me anyway) but I am happy I built it. Just the knowledge I have learned while doing it is going to make me a better shooter. Not to mention all the pseudo friends I have made while discussing it and trying to decide what to do. I am going to shoot tomorrow and go back to work Monday to make some money so I can start my next build

[CADDOKILLER]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

berger....

There is a good chance I work up a load or two with some boogers too

[RR 314]

I would give my right testicle for that...

Not much of a market for that trade.

[J.B.]

that is a sweet rig!!! congrats, post a range report when you have a chance! My next build will be done by Chad at Long Rifles as well.

[rg2]

slick as a gut !!!!

You don't need that muzzle brake. You should have bought a smaller caliber if you cant handle the recoil!!

I know I think I am going to sell it and by a really nice BB gun I saw at the hunters expo yesterday. That way it doesn't hurt my wee little ears and shoulder
