If you go to the top of the screen and click on FAQ, there is a detailed explanation. Basically, you need to put your pics on an online host. I use hunt 101, it is free: http://www.hunt101.com/index.php Then you put a link to your photo as described in FAQ and that's it. It will seemed complicated to me when reading the instructions, but I fumbled through it and it is really pretty easy. Good Luck, MM

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="" />

I like that a lot. (in all aspects) The bolt handle is very similar to what we are planning for my 600 project.
Any idea what the paint is??

It's an expoxy based auto paint called Endura (Canadian also <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />) that is tough as nails. The fellow who builds the stocks in Alberta happens to build racecar parts as well, so works with all of sorts of space age materials. This is the paint he recommends for durability.

You son of a bitch <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Sweeeeeet <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
Surpassed all expectations. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
Now, it shoots them varmint bullets very well, what can it do with something that will make an exit hole? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Pard,that is a Hot Rod sumbitch! You really rung the bell.
Kudos on a wickedly wonderful rifle. Jealous here.......................

I've been using 51.0gr of RL-19 with 140gr in my 7-08AI. It will handle a little hotter load in my rifle, but this load has been very accurate with the Partitions I hunt with. My rifle isn't as light as yours. Mine is based on a Sako591M action with a 22" #2 Shilen, 11 twist barrel. It sits in a pillar bedded McMillan with a Leupold Vari-X III 2.5-8 scope. Loaded with 5 in the magazine and one in the chamber, it weighs exactly 8 pounds. This rifle also shoots 50.0gr of H-380 very accurately. 49.5gr of IMR 4350 or IMR4831 is also very accurate, but velocity falls off. I've got a lot of loads ready to shoot with moly caoted bullets, but haven't had a chance to get to the range with them yet. My rifle doesn't like 100gr Sierra's all that well, so I'm trying the new Speer 110gr MHP moly. Since I'll be running moly in the bore, I've got a lot of 139-140gr bullets moly coated, as well. I'll let you know how they shoot. I just got my new Oehler 35P, so we'll see.

I believe it was JB (Mule Deer) who wrote that if one wanted a 7-08 Ackley Improved that there was little velocity to be gained over the regular 7-08. He also recommended gettng one of the new short magnums and having it done with and using a facory cartridge. You might consider that rather than going with the AI version.
