All the parts are assembled,

Badger M2008 Action
Obermeyer 1-10 20 in barrel, chambered in .308
Elite Iron Bravo 1 Suppressor
Timney Trigger
Premier 3x15x50 Gen2 XR reticle
American Rifle Co rings

....and of course the Sentinel stock from Terry over at KMW which UPS just delivered today. What a well made piece it is.

The action and barrel are over at Predator getting worked on now. When theyre done its off for melonite treating.

Just ordered another barrel in 6.5 so I can swap when need be.


Gonna do my own bedding job though......thats got me a bit nervous!!

Im a little concerned but the flat bottomed action on the Badger seems like it would be pretty easy to bed.

I lucked out....about 5 weeks.

He had two coming back from McMillan that needed some things done to them and they were unspoken for.

Right place, right time.

That stock is an absolute work of art. Sounds like you're gonna have one hell of a shooter when she's done. Good luck on doing the bedding job.

</div></div>

I do my 100 yard zero and stuff at Volunteer Rifle and Pistol.

Since moving here to Tennessee I dont have any real options as far as long range stuff. Theres Oak Ridge but thats all F Class stuff and I dont want to pay for a membership since Im moving to Texas soon anyways.
