First custom build

[droptine8850]

Alamo Precision Rifles 270 winchester

Trued Remington 700 action
24" 1-10 twist Premium air gauged Douglas #4 barrel with ratchet barrel flutes
HS Precision stock
Side bolt release
Hex cut bolt shroud
Shilen trigger set a 2 lbs
Double Diamond bolt fluting
APR custom bottom metal
Custom bolt knob
Graphite cerokote bolt, bottom metal, and barrel flutes.
Titanium cerokote action and barrel
Leupold VX-3 4.5-14 with side focus and Boone and Crockett reticle
Talley LW ring mounts

With less than 30 rds thru the barrel, it shot a 1/2" group at 100 yards with Nosler 130 gr Accubond factory ammo and just over 1/2" with 140 gr Hornady SST loaded by Dallas Reloads. This load wasn't tuned for my rifle, just a load Chad uses on several other 270's he loads for. To say that I'm impressed, is an understatement. Very happy with my new rifle!

That's a fine looking piece of iron.

I was out performing some load development on mine today. Shot 1.25 and 1.5 at 300 yards for 3 shot groups with 115 Bergers in my 240 WBY.

Going to tweak bullet seating just a bit and retest.

Very good looking gun.

Jason said that they probably won't be doing colored flutes on the ratchet fluting anymore. Said that it was really difficult to get right, so I may have a one of a kind rifle. Unless someone just offers too much money to turn down. Said straight flutes and even spiral flutes were easier, since the spiral is a consistent turn as you go down the barrel, where the ratchet flutes have sharp turns. Now I'm contemplating my next build.....
