I've also been thinking of getting one and sending it to Jon for a build. Anyway, congrats on the new rig & good luck on your hunt. "Rather hunt Mule deer than anything else" "Team 7MM-08"

I’m a believer in the floating bolt head and I like the CRF. Also like that it ejects a little more horizontally than some. Probably the best action for the $ out there.

OP Hondo64d Campfire Tracker H Joined: May 2003 Posts: 5,792 The Big Country	I picked the best charge from my 500 yard load development and put 5 rounds on paper at 100 today to make sure I had a good zero. Wind was gusting hard and bench was really wobbly or it would have been better. Made a .1 adjustment and reset the zero indicator. Battery ran out on my chronograph so I made a guess on velocity and took it to 820 to use the velocity truing function on Ballistic AE. Group was 4.5” low at 820 so I put that in Ballistic AE and it determined true velocity was 2790. Fired one more group at 820 using 2790 velocity and it was centered on aiming point. I think we’re ready for Caribou.

Might have seen a couple of hundred animals over the four days we were out. Probably 1/2 of those were in two groups of about 50ish each that were up the valley a few miles. The rest were in smaller bands of 2-3, up to a dozen animals.

The thing I don't like about most customs is the ejection angle of the m16 style extractors. I like the flatter ejection like a standard 700. Too many scopes have too big of windage knobs. I like to mount my scopes as low as I can. I had to take a corner off of my predator and tac 30 aw extractors. I'll have to look at an origin. I'd like to set one up remage or savage nut style. Maybe I'll go that route for my 22 creedmoor. Bb
