Well after months of waiting to get all my parts in for my build, I finally got my new 308 built by Wolf Precision (Jamie D.) and am very pleased. Its a Lawton 7000 action with bartlien 1-11.25 5R MTU barrel chambered in 308 match and finished at 24" with a Vais brake. Stock is Mcmillan A-5 in Gap Camo with Badger M5 bottom metal. OD cerakote Color.
I put a Falcon Menace 5.5-25 on it and it's not bad so far until it gets replaced with a USO or Nightforce. Only problem I had was Lawton shipped a 0 MOA base instead of a 20MOA but I had it two days later after calling them.
I was out today and shot some decent groups. No pics until I get a new camera, but at 100 yards I was picking out bullet holes in prior targets and putting them right in there. I didn't measure them but they were sub .5". 300 yards I had a 5 round group at .97" ctc. 4 of the rounds were .67", a nice cluster. I shot 5 rounds at 500 yards. The wind was blowing the corner of the target up so I was trying to shoot in between lol. Anyways, 3 of them were in 1.08" and the other 2 were right of that opening the group up to 2.6". Very pleased though, it was just under an inch of vertical for the group.
I will post other reports when I have more time to get out and do some more shooting
Here are the only two pics I have w/o scope.
