Built by Kyle Craig, owner/operator of Craigs Custom Rifles in Oro Valley, Az. Stiller Predator action 26" 1:9" #4 fluted Brux, with the flutes cerakoted to match the stock. McMillian Game Scout EDGE Grey with black and olive specs. Gun finished out at #7 3 oz... Lighter then we expected so I'm happy about that. I'll be topping with Talley LW's and most likely a Zeiss hd5 5.5-25. Group is a test group smith shot with 180 Bergers and H1000. I'll be shooting the LRAB.

It doesn't finish at 7.3# with the scope, just the bare rifle but still a very nice weight!

firstcoues: Nice! That rifle LOOKS like long range to me.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Very nice man!! Love the stock choice and color!
Which LRAB? What powder? Id say H1000 would be a great start.

Looks really cool, but I hope you're going to use lower mounts, as the current setup will require a dilldo purse for proper cheek weld!

Just an FYI, apparently dilldo, when spelled correctly, is a censored word.

Great looking rifle! Casey's Coues Culler... has a nice ring to it.
Keep us updated on the brass life and how that edge game scout handles the recoil.
Can't wait to get down there and see it perform.
