I’ve had a Strata for close to twenty years I guess. It’s a 284 Win on a REM Lt SA. It was about 5.5 lbs originally but I added a PTG bolt for the beefier extractor; it’s heavier than the REM bolt. It’s on its 3rd paint job now. It has an extended box so I can go 2.95” OAL.

The first load I tried with TTSX 140’s was very accurate with R17 and I haven’t changed anything up. With it I have taken a ten point whitetail at 500 yds, a large mule deer buck at a 100, a cinnamon-phase black bear at 150, and a smaller 6x6 bull elk at about 120.

It’s done up well and I’ve had several others from Alex, all quality throughout. IF I had a complaint is that it’s first fence-post brown, nuanced cameo job basically came off the same color as a mud dauber’s nest. More personal taste I guess.

But overall, no complaints; in fact, well done!
