I shoot the 225 SGK out of my AI version, and it shoots bugeyes with both Re-12 and -15. (Yes, I bought every can of Re-12 when a local dealer was closing it out.) Murphy was a grunt.

Not to steal the glory away from the OP's Remington 700, but that is by far the better rifle right there. I do, however, really like the OP's creative fire pit.
