Finnished up a new rifle this week. Under the guidance of Geoff Corn, I chambered and crowned this bbl. The action work was long already done. This was a MTU contoured Broughton bbl I had sittin around.. I had Geoff flute the shit out of it before hand. Its now very FLUTED lol!
At any rate, I did the rest of it as well. Pillar and glass bedding, Tac OPs bolt knob, bedded/glued the Seekins rail to the reciever.
The stock was a labor of love for sure. This stock was used hard from the word go. Many dings, gouges, etc. Not to mention it was inletted for the old goofy side release HS dbm, had a cut out for a side bolt release, and had an Anshutz acc rail in the forearm. But it is an old style A4, so a facelift seemed like the right thing to do!
I filled all the voids and inlets with Devcon and sanded them smooth. Inletted it for a Badger M5. Added a picatinny rail for the Atlas bipod, and a couple flush cups. Then finnished it with OD Green Alumahyde II.
I Kryloned the metal till I get my GunKote curing oven finnished.
I shot it some this week. My old standby load of 44.5 Varget and 175 SMKs shot excellent as per usual. Loaded up some 178 AMAXs a little bit ago....
Building them is nearly as fun as shooting them... Cant wait til the lathe and mill gets here and I get my shop done!
The specs are as following-
Trued Rem700
FLUTED 1-12 twist Broughton finnished at 22"
Tac Ops knob
Old style A4 with spacer LOP and saddle cheek

Seekins 20MOA rail
