Pretty cool looking rifle. You can't argue with accuracy like that!

Looks like you've got a good'n - pretty slick looking too.

No joke...hoping I can replicate it.

Robert vestal does good work he is located in Virginia builds some nice looking rifles

Agreed! I had no clue who he was until I was researching them before buying this rifle. Color me impressed with the rifles they build.

I think I may have seen that rifle at the range a time or two, if it's the one I'm thinking it is.

Buy that from Brian?

Haha sure is. He's from VA. Small world!

Thought it was. That rifle is a hammer.

Shot it for the first time. This is the first group after zero. Ignore the hashed holes. 168vld at 3053 ave for 6 shots.

Wow, nice shooting. What's the load??

65.5gr of H1000 in virgin Norma brass with F210M

That is humming right along ...

That thing shoots better than it looks.

And it looks pretty bad ass.

The orange with the exposed carbon fiber is really cool.

Almost the same orange as your toenails.

Nice. I'm at about 3k with the 162 amax in mine. (22") Looks like you have a keeper.

I had 162eldx to try but not sure it's worth trying after that!
