Need to grab some HPBT's and some tsx's this week.


going to be fed with Accurate AICS footprint 5 rd'er

Hope to get some rds. loaded to see what's up later this week if the rain ever stops....haven't weighed it but betting 8lbs'ish

As it sits I have just under $1800.00 total in the works

Nice! Glad I could contribute. Can't wait to hear how it shoots.

Very nice

Thanks. Little heavier than I like but It balances well. Wish I could chop the barrel to 21"-22" but beggars can't be choosers and it was a steal and already fluted. Twisted and throated right too!

Very, very nice

I'm gonna order a SS 3-9 for it or try to catch a used one.

Absolutely can't go wrong with that plan!! If you wait until July 4, they'll be $450.

Good looking rifle there.

Really nice setup! You'll have a lot of fun with that thing for sure.

Great looking rifle. I suspect it'll do good things.

Guessed way off. 9lb 12oz. No mag or loaded Rds.

That's a chunk!

Been humping my Montana and Colt/NULA all season so feels heavier than it is. As long as it shoots won't matter. 10lbs it should settle into the bags easy. Need to thread it for a can.

Might have to flute the bolt (grin)

Good show I always thought that camo pattern would look good with white cerekote. It would be different for sure

Are you sure your scale is right?
Are you sure that is a #3 Rock?
I could see 8 1/2 but not 10#
Does the stock weigh 3 pounds.....

Had a staineless 308 in that stock for a while. Looked good in it. I dropped it in a rhino camo with light gray, dark gray and black and doesn't look as good. That pattern looks better with a black gun IMO.

Well you gotta figure in the 2+ lbs. worth of scope and rings. Haha. Nice rifle regardless though.

Good looking gun.

Where do you hunt? I see it says western Va? We hunt in Yellow Spring WV, likely not far from you.
