Re: precision rifles... show em
Well here are a few of mine:
<span style="font-weight: bold">Varmint Series</span>
Savage in 22-250. Started out as a old model 110 FP in .308, but I changed out the barrel to a A&B 22-250, SSS recoil lug, and bedded in a B&C stock. Scope is a Nikon 4-12x40AO in Weaver bases and Burris signature Z rings. This gun will keep .4 all day long.
Savage 12BVSS in .223. I pulled the barrel, and reset the headspace. Added a SSS recoil lug, and bedded it in the stock. Scope is a Nikon 4-12x40AO in Weaver bases and Burris signature Z rings. .5MOA is the standard for this rifle. I rarely get any groups that are any better, or worse. It is extremely consistent.
Savage 12VLP in .204. I pulled the barrel, reset headspace, and trued the crown. Added a SSS recoil lug, but haven't bedded it yet. Scope is a Nikon 4-12x40AO in Weaver bases and Burris Signature Z rings. With 27.5 grains of Varget, a 40 VMAX, and Fed GM primers, this gun will shoot .1 to .4 all day long. It is the best shooter in my collection.
Savage 12VLPS in .223. I built this one from scratch. I started with a single shot Savage action, added a Lothar Walther barrel in 1/9 twist, SSS recoil lug, and bedded the action into a VLP stock purchased from SSS. In the picture, the scope is a Nikon 5.5-16x42AO, but it currently has a Leupold VX-II in 4-12x40AO. Weaver bases, and Burris signature Z rings.
Not pictured: Tikka T3 Varmint in .223. Getting rebarreled.
<span style="font-weight: bold">Tactical Series</span>
First up is a standard Remington 700PSE in .308. It is completely stock, except for the Eagle Stock pack. Scope is a Nikon 4-16x50 tactical. Bases is a Badger 20MOA, and rings are Nightforce. Average groups for this gun run around .4. I've gotten groups as good as .13.
Next is my latest build. Savage 10 action, SSS recoil lug, Savage barrel in .308, and reset to minimal headspace, SSS tactical bolt, and B&C Tactical stock. Scope is another Nikon Tactical 4-16x50. Warne 20MOA 1 piece base, and Badger rings. Haven't shot it yet.
Finally, is my GA Precision ROCK. Remington 700 action, Badger tactical bolt knob, Mike Rock 5R barrel in .308, McMillan M40A1 stock, Badger 20 MOA base, and TPS rings. The Scope is a Leupold Mark 4 LR 4-14x50. Only put 85 rounds downrange in this gun. Without even doing load development, I'm averaging .6.
