[tnrednk74]

A little known fact about Mark, he will take your final payment in the form of Dairy Queen gift cards

 

[BullzeyeNJ]

That turned out great. A real beauty.

 

[mrsnorkel99]

Nice looking rig... i just sent mark my rem 700. Cant wait to get it back...

 

[peaceatwar]

That guy over at SAC sure can build lookers! Tell us how she shoots!

 

[chainring]

Can't wait to get my SAC. Looks great.

 

[KYS]

Mark is a great builder!

 

[teerex]

Very nice. I've had my Alpha 11 260 for about 2 months, now It is awesome.

I'll add how cool it is that functionally how a barreled action can be so similar, but the finished products can be personalized so much.

 

[bobaguilar]

That's a sweet looking rifle.

 

[mdslammer]

Wow! Amazing work done by an amazing craftsman. I can't wait for my build to be shipped out later this year. Mark is building me a .338 Lapua Magnum.
Good luck with her. Let us know how she shoots.

Guys, I finally got my hands on my rifle. The pictures do not do this masterpiece justice. Mark is a phenomenal guy to work with and I cannot say enough about his craftsmanship. The fluting by twisted barrels is AWESOME!!!!! I am getting to shoot it today so I will let you all know how it does.

 

[Oregonmuley]

Congrats - that is a fine looking rig. I could like having one like that

 

[Jaxdialation]

Congratulations Sir! That gun is just begging to be abused. Get out there
an shoot the snot out of it !

 

[capreppy]

Very nice looking boom stick. The graphite black is really nice. Don't see it much.

 

[Desert Fox]

Works of art right there. Let see some groups.

 

[Chris S]

So guys, after I got out to the range, I shot 10 rounds cleaning between each shot. The ten Remington core-lock (conserving hard to find components) all went within one inch of each other, and excluding a flier were about 3/4 MOA. It probably would have been even better had I not left my rear bag at home. I finished up my break-in session with 2-5 shot groups between 0.3-0.6 MOA range. I am looking forward to getting her a little fouled up and feed her some 5-star hand loads at long range. Mark truly builds a slick functioning stick!!!!

 

[Shoalwater]

Very nice rifle, and I bet it ends up being a real shooter

 

[lash]

Maybe someday, when I grow up, I'll be able to afford a nice stick like that. A guy's gotta dream.

 

[Chris S]

Shoalwater, I know it will. From the experience I have had and as passionate about handloading as I am, I do not think it will be difficult to handload for. From the very limited time I have spent with this rifle Mark has made, I do not doubt for a second that it will be a shooter. lash, I had to tuck some presidents away for a while. Don't give up on the dream, Mark has made mine come true.

 

[Matt1985]

That's a great looking rifle

 

[exx1976]

Ok, since no one else asked, I will.

Why is there a gap between the barrel shoulder and the end of the brake??

 

[MarineMD]

Ok, since no one else asked, I will.

Why is there a gap between the barrel shoulder and the end of the brake??

i think the sure fire suppressor needs that gap to be able to mount properly on the brake

 

[Chris S]

 

[Danny25]

That's one great looking rifle and obviously it's also a great shooter!

 

[Gray]

My buddy just completed his rig when his suppressor came in.

 

[Swift]

Can you see Jupiter with that scope???

Nice stick. Enjoy and be safe.

 

[jordan0317]

Haha that scope is definitely a monster.

A little known fact about Mark, he will take your final payment in the form of Dairy Queen gift cards
