Crescent Customs builds one heck of a rifle!

[Lofty]

Moon built Surgeon inletted for AW mags. Bartlein 5R barrel Medium Palma contour chambered in .243 Win, Timney trigger and Manners T5 90% Carbon fill stock.

I worked up a load for it last weekend, 115 DTACs, Win Brass, 42.3 grains of H4350....3100 FPS.

To say this thing is a hammer is an understatement. The fit and finish is outstanding and the gun is so light and handles so good......its an ideal match rifle.

Great job Moon.

3 shot group, .185 MOA

5 shot group, .487 MOA

Re: Crescent Customs builds one heck of a rifle!

That's nice and some good speed with the DTAC's. Faster than I am shooting 105 Bergers.........gotta be a flat shooting machine.

Re: Crescent Customs builds one heck of a rifle!

Thanks guys.

Yeah, I'm happy with the speed. No pressure signs at all....bolt lifts nice and easy and no primer flow. I might be able to push them a tad faster but I figure why try......3100 is plenty fast.

Did Moon cut your action to accept the AW mags? If not, who did?

Re: Crescent Customs builds one heck of a rifle!

Finished working up a round for it and its all set up for the PTS match next month in Cookville.

My daughter approves as well. My wife thought it would scare her......shes only 3. She pulled the trigger and immediately yelled "Again daddy...again!!"
