I picked up this build from Moon on Friday and finally shot it yesterday. Moon does some badass work is all I can say.
I went about the build with the idea of being my short handy "utility" rifle. Short, fairly light (comparatively speaking), gonna deer and yote hunt with it, plink with it, and be a truck gun, be accurate out to 600 and below, be set up for a can (thats pending now) and a caliber thats readily available for factory ammo and reloading components and full build not be a bank buster. specs are-
Cal- .308
action- rem 700 (found cheap donor rifle local)
Barrel- 16.5 inch 1-10 Bartlein, #7 or "M24" contour, 5-Deep fluting, Ops Inc muzzle brake, contoured with 20 degree taper for 12th model can.
Stock- HS PSS take off stock
Bottom Metal- PTG
Badger bolt knob
Base and Rings- Larue 20 MOA base (was on donor rifle already), Badger medium Rings
Front and Rear iron sight bases
trigger- went with X-mark pro that was on donor rifle and Moon tuned it up, pretty damn nice right now but may upgrade in future.
scope- USO ST-10 Slimline MOA/MOA, MOA type 1 ret(thats how I does it)
total weight without scope is 8.4 pounds
seen here
I had Moon leave it raw because it's getting shipped this week to ARP for full paint job, so its kinda ugly right meow.
I took it to the local conservation range to run some test loads thru it. was only at 100 yards and I shot like hot garbage (hung over in 200 degree heat) but the rifle kills it. I shot a few loads of 208 Amaxes but it liked the 47.5 gr of RL-17 the best and was running at 2,475 FPS. seen here (remember I did shoot like ass and was on a full on "off" day)
I shot a ragged hole with some 155 scenars I had loaded for another rifle and the beiber liked them really well, ran right at 2,600 FPS but didnt take a pic of the target like a tard.
It shot some factory 175 FGMM right at 1 MOA consistently, 20 rounds in a nice pattern at 2,500 FPS, again i feel this will tighten up alot as barrel works in and i shoot better.
anywho there it is, and FYI I call it "the beiber" for two reasons, one is cause it's a little bitch, just like beiber, and two is cause "trunk monkey" is over used and just Gay
