Finally finished my 20" Stiller Group buy .308

[Col Kurtz]

I just got my Stiller TAC30 from Vestal's Custom Rifles. and I couldn't be happier. The specs are Stiller Tac30 action, with a 20 moa base, Pacnor polygonal 5 grove barrel, fluted, and cut to 20", plus muzzle brake, McMillian A3 Edge fill stock, full length bedded with Marinetex, Atlas bipods, Jewel trigger set at 1 1/2#, PTG stealth bottom metal, Alptha 10rd. mag. It is topped with a Bushnell 3.5-21x50 DMR scope with the G2 reticle, set in American Defense quick detach rings, so I can take it off and put my D760 scope on for night time use. It also has an ACI for angle shooting, and an embedded anti cant level in the stock just behind the receiver. The metal was Ceracoated, and Coyote brown, and stock painted Multicam, By Greg Ballard at OnTargetCustoms, and it looks great. Thanks to both of these guys for the awesome work.

Nice Rifle
I'm really diggin the stock and metal color

Great Job

 

[slingshot14]

Did you embed the anti-can't deal in the stock or is that a factory option?
Rig as a whole looks badass!

 

[axeltow]

Looks great.
How much does it weigh?

 

[chefcam864]

Nice Rifle!

 

[260rem]

Very sharp, nice looking rig.

 

[Col Kurtz]

Axeltow, It weighs 11.5 pounds with what you see.

Slingshot14 Vestal's Gunsmithing embedded the anti cant level for me. They set it level with the scope rail using a Starrett 98 level. I got to watch them do it. I like it a lot.

Thanks for the complements guys. I'm proud of it, and can't wait to get it broke in and see what it'll do.

 

[glassbeaver]

Nicely done.

 

[Danny25]

Nice build! I need to get me a nice cut out case like that.

 

[Col Kurtz]

I cut out the case using a Proxxon 37080 Hot Wire Cutter I bought off of Amazon. I like the cutter, and it does as good a job, as you can feeding the foam through without making to many bobbles.

Nice Stick! I have a Stiller on order and can't wait, thanks for the food for thought'

nice setup!

 

[260shooter]

Nice setup, very practical.

 

[sjb269]

Very nice! What contour did you choose for the barrel? I am having a tough time deciding on a contour for my build.
Let's see an up close picture of the anti cant level.

 

[diderr]

turned out very nice

Let's see an up close picture of the anti cant level.

I went with a Sendero contour, because it gave me more straight length to flute, than say a light palma contour. I'll get a picture in the am and post it of the anti cant.

Thanks for all of the complements. I'm loving it so far, as I've been braking in the barrel today. Greater things are to come.

 

[sjb269]

Do you know the weight of the rifle W/O the mag,bipod,and scope?

 

[popapi]

That is a BAD sonafagun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You went all in with this one Guy!!!!!!!!

 

[HOGTOOTH5R]

Sweet Setup sir! How's the scope height? Are going to run a cheek piece or stock pack? Look a bit high in the photos but I could be wrong.

Show us some Range Reports!

 

[coues7]

Sweet Rig. How you mounting your NV?

 

[Col Kurtz]

Do you know the weight of the rifle W/O the mag,bipod,and scope?

The rifle w/o the mag, bipod, and scope is 7 1/2#.

The scope height is a little high, and I may end up using a stock pack. I didn't want to go with an adjustable cheek piece because of weight. I knew the cheek weld wasn't going to be high enough with my night scope, but it isn't bad with the day scope.

I went with a ADI recon rings so I could quick detach the day scope, and the night scope just replaces it on the scope base.

 

[Col Kurtz]

Here is the requested picture of the anti can level.

 

[mrbungle]

wow!!!! viewing that rifle is kin to a sexual experience.

 

[Sixfivesavage]

How do you like that bottom metal? I'm looking at the choices and can't decide between that or surgeon, but the price is awful attractive since they are on sale now.

 

[Col Kurtz]

I have the PTG bottom on a couple of rifles, and it works great. I don't think you can go wrong.

 

[Savage 212]

Another great rifle from Vestals Custom Rifles, I'm proud of mine as well! Great looking gun!

 

[sjb269]

Pretty much how I'm gonna have one built up.

 

[thorbird]

OMG. Sweet.

 

[excaliber]

Bad to the bone! Those guys do awesome work.

 

[BusterB]

rifle looks alright, only thing that I would change would be having it be mine...then it would be really top shelf!!

 

[sgtsmmiii]

Very, very nice. Can't think of a thing I'd done differently.

 

[Shotplacement]

Wow I love the embedded level!

 

[Col Kurtz]

Thanks for all the comments guys. I just got my neck bushing for my dies from Redding today. I am going to try and start my ladder testing this weekend. I'll let everyone know how it shoots just as soon as I get something on paper.
