Got my latest Custom Montucky,earlier this week and it too is stellar.

Gunned it a smidge in OEM guise as a Turdy Twat-Six and it was sound,outta da' gate. Nothing mechanical needed done,to yield round groups,that was tidy in their clustertitude. Chopped 2" offa the OEM spout and it MUCH improved balance and handling. Fast/easy way to pinpoint pendingBuild Balance. Hint.

After 4 days of fun flingin' Skinner Smooches,I sent it off,along with a Brux 1-8" #3 contoured .243" blank(.236" bore).

Asked for the OEM contour to be duped at 22.25",while wearing a reduced shank,chambered in Six Twat-Six...to again improve balance/handling and it is a fhuqking PEACH.

105 Hornie HPBT smooches whistle along at 3300fps on the nose and it is stupid accurate. Been blowin' 50mph+ the last coupla days and I've only had it out to the 1350yd line,but it is a fhuqking HAMMER. More than a few folks have shot it and all are craving same,which is never a bad sign.(grin)

The bitch shoots soft,it has lotsa ass,cases are a single pass affair,whether 25-06,270,280 or '06 and the false shoulder Virgin Poke is easily realized. It's really doing exceptional things,while forming Virgins,which ain't ever a bad sign.

With a 250yd zero,it's but 6 Mils to the 1000yd line. The reticle gets it to 1275yds. All out it'll reach 2100yds++. Need to swap bases/rings,so as to eek more Fixed Fhuqker erector goodness,though 26Mils is a fair start.

Tough to get a feel for the shank differences,especially as the OEM Twat-Six spout was on good enough,to require a plunge/relief cut along the receiver,to soften 'er up. Anywhoo...you might can see the differences here.

The OEM SAAMI 223 Montucky spout puked and needed rebarreled,so I sent it out with a Bart' 1-8" #4 contour,to again dupe existing. Had it punched 270 for 105's expressly and went with 18.5" of spout,which is a fhuqking KILLER parcel. That rifle is simply sensational and now everyone is building 270's for 105's.

18.5" Bart 1-8" 270 in foreground,Brux 1-8" 20" 6BR next,1-7" Rock 223AI 21" and OEM Montucky 243Win at 22". Schit pic,but lends an inkling.

Others here. Coupla PN 1-9" 7 Whizzum's and Sister's OEM 7 Whizzum.

[Linked Image]

There is NO fhuqking way I'd exceed OEM contour or length in ANY chambering and I'm quick to nip both,to improve the parcel. Losing shank,never hurts the equation either. Hint.

Never had to wait more than a week on a build,unless the weather blew up and stopped the Mail.

It happens.(grin)

Think I'll go catch a feesh.









(addendum: I'm ALL feeshed up and forgot a "tidbit")

Benchmark fhuqked a pard HARD,with their "Smith" work...avoid it like The Plague.

Don't fret the spouts,just don't have them Plumb it.

You've been led to water.

Hint.

I love this rifle and the cartridge. 3 shot groups at 100 yrds are almost always touching. So far I've shot hand loads and Factory Lapua ammo, same result. Load development is a joke, pick a load! Fun to shoot distance too, I'm liking the LR reticle on the FX3 6x. Pac-nor did my 223AI too, same results.

Target from last Sunday, 6.5x47 on bottom and embarrassing results from 6x47 Remington above at 200. Both Lilja barrels, #1 on the 700 and Montana dupe on the Kimber.
