Don't know the weight, but balances about 1/2" forward of the recoil lug. Can't wait to shoot it! Terrible cell phone pics (can't find my camera...) Last edited by Taco270; 01/23/14.

I have actually seen a good bit of their work. Have rebarreled a couple guns they initially built. No surprises everything was well done. Their guns I rebarreled were because of round count not any other issues.

OP Taco2fiddy7 Campfire Regular T Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 2,647 BOI	Even though it is a gusting day with 12-17mph winds, had to test out the AI real quick. All factory Nosler ammo - 140 ABs, 150 LRABs, 160 NPs with me, and not Travis behind the trigger, here is how it did. Ignore the shot with lines, started a second group with one load and decided to only shoot one group for each for today and started a different group. Next time will wait for a calm day and take more time. Each 3-shot group was done in less than a minute with time (and a quick cleaning) between each group to cool. with better pics
