impressive!!!

[Guest bart_p]

What caliber is this rifle shooting? Also how do you like the stock? That's a nice looking rig.

Bart

[Guest Plainsman]

Looks great man!

[Guest strelcevina]

Demn.

it looks like rifle from movie Shooter, with Mark Wahlberg.

Cool.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

Yeh, it does. Nice looking rifle.

[Eric]

Thanks to all of you. The rifle is a .308 win. I plan to shoot her tomorrow. i will post the results of the brake for sure.

[Guest bart_p]

Just curious, but why put a muzzle brake on a .308? It is mainly the look you are going for? Also, is there some sort of bedding in the stock?

Bart

[Eric]

This rifle has a 20 inch barrel. I find it hops a bit, so to try to smooth it out I had the brake installed. No bedding has been done on this stock.

This rifle has a 20 inch barrel. I find it hops a bit, so to try to smooth it out I had the brake installed. No bedding has been done on this stock.

I understand. Another remedy to this would be to "load up" the bi-pod. By "load up" I mean to sort of lean in and put a sort of forward and downward pressure on the feet of the bi-pod. This typically keeps all but the ungodly rifles tamed.

Are there any plans for bedding?

Bart

[Eric]

I am preloading the pod but compared to my 26" barrel this thing is harsh. I just wanted to tame her and also have her ready and threaded for a suppressor. No plans at the time to bed. i will see how it shoots and make my decision from there. I do not have my 26" bedded either but it does have pillars and the stock is an A-5. PS.. the rifle is already a sup moa shooter so bedding may help a little but I am pretty happy hitting the target consistant.

[Guest bart_p]

I understand completely. I was just curious. Also, what are you shooting through it?

Bart

[Eric]

I shoot 168 Sierra MK through it with 43.7 grains of Varget.

Shot it today and the recoil is wonderful. Total fix to this rifle... Very nice!

[Guest bart_p]

Awesome, glad to hear it. Range reports are never complete without pictures!

I had my Daughter with me (6 yrs old). Accuracy was nothing to brag about as the last 10 rounds were all rapid fire. I shot 1moa without full concentration as she really does not like being at the range. Total bummer there. The rapid fire was more like 2 moa. When I say rapid, I was cycling very, very fast.

[Guest ADAM]

nice!

[Capbyrd]

BEAUTIFUL! This is very similar to a build that I want to do. I just don't have the money right now.

[Guest JHatmaker]

That is exactly the setup I want to do one day, down to the scope and stock. Nice job! If you ever want to sell..... Actually I probably couldn't afford it.

Where did you get the stock from? Directly from Accuracy International?

[Eric]

I actually bought the stock on www.snipershide.com. Lots of good stuff on there.

Sell it, you never know!

[Guest JHatmaker]

Sell it, you never know!

Keep me in mind...

[MikeW]

Looks great Eric... I wanna get behind the wheel on that one to feel the break.

[Eric]

Of course Mike, No problem there...

[Guest GunTroll]

Nice man! That thing looks fun. I changed my plain jane 700 SPS tacticool a while back too. We weren't too far off from doing the same thing. Hows your trigger?
