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!

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. cry

It is, I tried to respond to your post and it put a "bleep" in instead......

By the way, this is the exact gun I want to build. Even in the same chambering!

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.
