Planned on building one of these for some time and finally got around to it a few weeks ago. Blueprinted Remington action, trigger tech trigger, 26" 1:10 twist Lilja barrel with Sendero contour, talley one piece rings and 3-18 Z5 Swarovski with BRX reticle. Cerakote finish is gunmetal grey. Stock is a Stocky's long range composite. These stocks are somewhat heavy but very solid. They have a great feel to them and I have several now.
Went to the range with 8 different loads to try. Quick story here, I load 2 shot loads when I'm trying to find what a rifle likes. Saves on all the hard to get supplies. Ran into a fella at the range who didn't mind telling me he thought I was wasting my time and you needed 5 shots to really determine how a rifle is shooting. I just said seems to me if a rifle wont' put two close together it most certainly won't do five. Me being me I couldn't help adding......"you should see my one shot groups" He just looked at me like I'd lost my mind and walked away.
Long story short next day I settled on a load with 55 gr. Hammer running 4110 fps. Best group that morning was 0.091 (three shots). Killed two coyotes and a small pig with it so far and they didn't waste any time dying.
