The General Lee

[jphillips63]

Here’s one of my Long range bench rifles I call the General Lee. The action is a Bat M Dual Port with a 1.450 dia barrel that’s 32” I have two barrels one chambered in a 300 WSM and the other a 6 BRA. Scope is a NF 12-42 BR model and the trigger is a Bix & Andy set right at 1 oz. this entire package weighs in at 82# and will shoot sub 2” at 1K

2” at 1000 yards is amazing; congratulations.

Is that stock aluminum? Did you make it?

Yes it’s solid billet aluminum and I machined it out on a CNC

You need monogrammed dryer sheets for that one.  Gonna be hard to outdo it.

Yes its 82# the barrel alone weighs more than most rifles with a scope. It’s 1.45 dia at 32” Long. Solid aluminum stock, SS rails front and rear. The barrel block was machined from solid aluminum then bored and cut in half remachijed and rebored. It’s screwed and dialed into place.it all adds up and quickly.

I had to have a custom bag made for the front with the center being lower than the rails. The rifle is so heavy it would flatten out the bag and the belly would rub. So the new bag has a step up on it and to help the dryer sheets are slicker and helps the rifle from cutting into the bag.

So you do "run and gun" much.
