Well she is finally done!

[Jcas2012]

So a year and a half later I finally got the money and time together since joining the Corps to finish my rifle.

It started out as a stock Remington 700 5r 308 10th Anniversary Edition. Badger rings and base topped with a Leupold Mark 4 ER/T M5 FFP 6.5-20x50mm

-Rad Tac bottom metal
-Badger knob
-Bolt fluted by Karl Kampfeld
-Timney 510 trigger at 2.5lbs
-Barrel cut to 20" and an APA little bastard installed and turned down to match the profile of the barrel.
-Badger EFR NV mount bedded in stock
-Action bedded to the stock as well
-Everything coated in graphite black cerakote and the stock with an eggshell finish enamel

Gotta give my friend Ozzie all the credit for doing a perfect job on the smith work and for going out of his way to help me out.

Unfortunately I only had 2 days to shoot it on leave but she does pretty well so far with factory Federal Gold Medal Match.

I know the rifle shoots better than me so I can't wait to really some some time behind her to see what she will do with a little more practice.

175gr Federal Gold Medal Match

This one measured 2 4/16" at 320 yards.

Nice setup. Is that the original HS 5R stock? I am considering putting an EFR into my 5R stock and was concerned on the front-end width being adequate to mount it...if so, it looks as though it worked fine for you.

Great looking rifle man. Can't go wrong with black. Shoots pretty damn good too.

Great looking rifle. Love the all black.

Love the 20" barrel, shoots great, it's handy and still can take me to 1000 yards. Plus the brake threads off by hand when I finally get around to picking up a suppressor.
