New Rifle (30.06)

[MHill]

I was going to make a tutorial on my duracoat GAP paint job and the Marine Tex texture job I did on the stock however laziness and the fact that it's been done no less than 1000 times before, I chose not to.

I think it turned out pretty well for my first attempt and thought I would share the entire build. I haven't taken any pics of the targets yet however it's shooting lights out.

The specs on the rifle are:

Built by Dennis Brush, here on the Wet Side of Washington State.
Rem 700 LA trued and squared in 30-06 caliber
Fluted bolt w/ oversized bolt knob
Oversized recoil lug
Rock Creek Barrel = #4 contour, 1-11.25 twist, finished at 24"
HP Precision stock pillar bedded
Old style Rem 700 trigger (3lbs) & BDL bottom metal

Nice looking rig. How does she shoot?

It shoots a lot better than I do at this point. My buddy can pick it up and shoot .5 MOA all day with it. Truth is, I'm probably averaging 1 MOA.

Where do you shoot up there? I've been working in Bothell (71mi from home!) and am looking for a place I can shoot after work.

When I'm short of time I shoot over at the Kenmore Range off of 228th. Unless you're a member you can only shoot at 100 yards off the bench. When I have more time I prefer the Cascade Range.
