Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats New Build Completed

I saw a Cooper Raptor at Sportsman's Warehouse, a few months back, and I almost bought it. I liked the rifle, but I was turned off by the 10+ pound weight of the Raptor. So, I decided to get one built one instead.

The new rifle isn't in my hands, quite yet, but it's done and the 'smith sent me pictures:














Rifle Specs:
Stainless 700 Action
6.5 Creedmoor, 1-8" twist
22" Mullerworks barrel, SS, carbon wrapped, sendero contour, threaded muzzle
AG Composites Alpine Hunter stock, carbon urban camo
Hawkins Precision M5 bottom metal
Oversized bolt knob
Cerakote, sniper grey
Jewel Trigger

Weight: 7lbs, 2oz

The rifle was built but Pederson Precision, in Wisconsin. Matt Pederson does the carbon wrapping for Mullerworks' barrels, so it was easy to just send him my action and let him take care of the rest. I sent him the action, mid-November, and he'll ship it back to me this week. I'll post a range report, when I get a chance to shoot it. I hope it shoots as good as it looks!

I've never monkeyed with this particular stock before, nor have I played with AICS magazines. If I like how this one shoots and handles, I can see doing another build similar to this in .223 Rem.
