Well, I may as well give the details and the pics should follow shortly. This project took 6 months to complete, and was shipped all over Canada to be worked on by different individuals.
Rem 700 SA (Trued, Skeletonized Handle/knob, Helical 12 flute bolt, Machined down shroud, Electroless Nickel Plated)
22" 1:9 stainless Gaillard Precision Barrel (Rem mountain contour)
Wildcat model 7 stock blank layed up a little extra heavy, and then CNC'd for 700 SA BDL with a lightweight foam recoil pad (expertly fit and painted by Mitch Kendall).
Leupie VarXII 2-7x33 w/Zee low bases
Total package with scope weighs 6.0 lbs exactly. After firing a few fouling shots, I began load development. A few different loads quickly yielded the one in the picture - 140gr Ballistic Tip @ nearly 3000fps 3 shots at 100yds (0.29"). It seems to be a shooter <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
The primary use for this rifle will be yearly backpack trips for Stone sheep, Caribou, Mulies and Goats. Should be just what the doctor orderd <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Excluding the action, scope and mounts, this rifle is MADE IN CANADA <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
