I had a BAT Tactical action laying around forever, so I had Travis @ TS Customs (www.tscustom.com) put together this sweet 22BR for me. This thing sure has potential. Here's the rifle and some results with the first firing on virgin lapua 6BR necked down to 22. Using a very mild load early on here to just get some time on the barrel. I'll step on it a bit after it's broke in and see what it's capable of.
Beautiful isn't it?

Cute little things. Our 6BR AICS kits ensure reliable feeding. ... of course I needed a red set for this rifle.

Not very fast... but as I said, I'm running a mild load. Sure shoots well.

This guy showed up when I was experimenting with load. Took an 80gr attitude adjuster right in the noggin. A reward for digging a hole in my lawn.
