Re: precision rifles... show em

I just finished putting this rifle together. It is a Ruger M77 mark II VT 308, with a Houge full aluminum bedding block stock, Farrell rings and base, Nikon 4-16x50 tactical scope, factory barrel and finish. It will consistantly shoot under 1 MOA with Federal gold medal match.

Re: precision rifles... show em

After a fair amount of waiting and couple of trips back and forth across the country to "get it right", I have finished my first truly custom sniper rifle.

DSC01051.jpg


This rifle started out as a Remington M700 LTR. I parted it out and sold off everything, keeping only the action and bolt (complete with Badger knob).

The action was shipped to Mike Bryant in Wheeler, Texas, along with a Mike Rock 5R barrel blank I picked up from GAP. The barrel has an 11.25" twist.

Bryant did all of the truing work to the bolt and action. He then barreled the action, finishing the barrel at 24".

The barreled action was shipped (along with Badger base and rings and Williams floor plate) to Hateca, who did the MolyResin work in flat black. Very very nice work, I might add.

I picked up a new McMillan A-5 in molded-in woodland camo. I had Randy pillar/glass bed the action to the stock.

The finished product was shipped back and glassed with a Leupold Mark IV 10X with mil-dot reticle. Add-ons include a Harris bipod, Shilen trigger (set at 2 lbs even) and a TIS M24 sling in OD.

This rifle turned out more nice than I had even imagined. It has had one range trip to the tune of about 100 rounds. As it stands, I've only fired three five-shot groups that weren't a single ragged hole. That's not my prowess on the rifle, ladies and gentlemen!

Many many thanks to Hateca for all of his help on this project. For those of you who have not had the opportunity to have work done by Randy, you are missing out. As a side note, the original gunsmith for this project, for whatever reason, used the Palma reamer to cut the chamber initially. As such, my factory Fed GMM 168grs didn't work. . .to say the least. Since Hateca was already going to have my stick to complete the bedding work, he also used the correct reamer and fixed the problem. Again, hat's off to Randy!

Pics of the targets inbound!

</span></div></div>Nice looking rifle, indeed! I had a strange feeling when I looked at it, and realized it was because it was a wood stocked rifle.
I like it, and have to admit that I sneak a peek into the safe at my HB Remmy 788 with the walnut stock from time to time, just for a reality check.

Nothing to be ashamed of there. Even if it isn't matte black.

Re: precision rifles... show em

thanks :sniper:

actually its not all natural wood, its resin-impregnated for a little more durability, but it delivers the same looks.

I need to take more pics, Ill do that this weekend b4 I hit the range.

Ive decided to go with the .338RUM Sendero instead of the .300WM, that will be "darker" stick

Your reality checks sound like fun, we have it good don't we?

I plan to hunt with this rifle this year. I used it in my first F class match last year. We only got to shoot @ 600 yards due to rain, but I shot a 190/200 using 150 grain Sierra BTSP hunting bullets. I think it will do nicely for deer!

Re: precision rifles... show em

Top GAP "Snipers Hide" 308, 2nd from top: First Gen 26" barrel 308 FN-SPR with VX-III 6.5-20x 50mm M1 Gen 2 from Premier, 3rd from top: Custom Savage 223 single shot, Bottom: GAP "Snipers Hide" 260 Rem. (note: longer barrel than 308) Both GAP rifles have Badger scope rails and rings, Mike Rock 5R barrels, and McMillan Stocks
296937.JPG


I wanted a Tactical Rifle which I could easily use Iron Sights on in the event of a scope failure, or to shoot in "Irons only" matches. I had George turn the Mike Rock 5R barrels to accept the RPA Ladder front sight. He put the indexing rings on both rifles and set so the sight was vertical when in the index notch on the rings. All I have to do is slide the front sight on and tighten with a allen wrench. The Rear RPA "Tracker" sight slips on the Marty Badger 20 deg scope rail.

Here is the front sight view. Note the v notch which indexes the sight correctly.
296936.JPG


Here is the rear sight installed on the M700 George built. Also note rear variable aperture

296934.JPG


296933.JPG


Note how the scope and irons easily move from rifle to rifle. Allen and Torque wrench is all I need to make the swap

296926.JPG



Here is the .223 Rem Savage set up for 300 yard Bullseye practice. Stock work, bedding and re-cutting chamber (due to an off center line chamber from Savage), and turning muzzle for RPA sight done by Larry Racine. It's my "Mini Palma" and varmint rifle. I plan on adding a 30" 308 "Plama" barrel, a 260 Rem, and a 6 mm BR to round out the "system"
