Do you ever run out of gun safe spots?

Pretty slick.

Thanks, but not since I downsized.....


Actually, this is a re-do of the one I just put together last month in a McM Classic stock.

With added weight of the Nightforce, rings, and bases on top, it wasn't the best match in the Classic, so I bedded the barrel action in this Sendero stock, and gave it a new paint job. With the added length and width of the stock, it made it mo better for it's intended purpose.

Thanks....

Good time to post it with the LR hunting, and 6.5 is king over the 270, bashing going on....

Perfect throating, and fits a 2.800" mag box, trumps a CM or 260....

Cool 47 aalf.
Do you have flags at the middle and target end of your range ?

I suppose it depends on whether you're the lowballer or lowballee....

I usually put a flag at the targets, but nothing in between as I don't have a pole tall enough.....

That's some pretty darn good shooting with a beautiful rig. Well done.

Any issues using the rubber bungees to hang the steel? Bullet splatter doesn't destroy them or at least not very fast?

Awesome rifle and neat pics.
Posted By: Jordan Smith Re: 6.5x47 - 07/23/14
Bullet splatter destroys most materials that aren't hardened metal, if the material is in the same plane as the plate. If the bungee is slightly behind the plate because the hook is inserted from behind, it'll be okay.

The biggest problem is pieces of bullet jackets imbedding in the rubber acting like razor blades. You learn real quick to not be sliding your hand on them.

I prefer them to chains as they're cheap and easy to set up.

Even better, they're free if you don't mind dodging traffic.....

Bungee road kill is almost upon us, soon the roads will be littered with them. Grins...
