Flat brimming? Flat brimmed ball caps were the norm until farmers stared bending them to fit the contour of a their mailboxes, looking for those government checks. Nice rifle Kingston ! Fred III I love that Americana paint job ..

Nice rifle Kingston. I love my low buck redneck R700 short barrels version of it.

Thanks everyone for your compliments. I more than a little pleased with how this turned out. Hig, The Evo is fantastic. The bolt cycles slick and has fed flawlessly. Fearing the world would discover them and they’d be impossible to get without a crazy wait, I ordered four actions after seeing them at SHOT. They’re well designed, finely made, and a relative bargain. I thought about offering you one, but then Fred and Beaver talked me out of two... :-j LJB, I used a Trigger Tech 700 Special. I’m running them and the TT Diamond in almost everything. The stock was actually supposed to be a EH2 (carbon fiber by designation) with molded in color, but this is what showed up from Manners. The bbl inlet was also wrong. In an effort to keep things moving, We just moved forward. The rifle balances perfectly and shoots lights out. Kimber7man, See above. ************ Spoiler Alert..... The rifle’s a *$4cking tack driver! It handles really well, fits really well. I love the EH2 with the 22” Proof Sendero Light— the balance is perfect. The EVO action is super slick and has feed perfectly. It’s probably my favorite rifle. The rifle showed up Tuesday afternoon. I got a scope mounted and built some loads to find pressure. Over the next three days, really two—Thursday was a washout, I continued load development, running several 400 yrd ladder tests. Ultimately, I settled on a 46.4 gr RL26, 147 ELDM’s seated .045 off the lands in Starline SRP brass with BR4 primers. The load was doing 2783fps out of a new bbl. I’m at about 155 rounds to date. SL brass was sorted first by length and then by weight. Necks were graphited and run over a carbide mandrel, mouths were chamfered inside and outside and flash holes were deburred. Yesterday, I shot a PRS match with this little beauty. Of the 48 shooters, I was the only one shooting a lightweight titanium and carbon fiber rifle. The other 47 entrants wielded rifles weighing two and three times more. I think they thought I was a little nuts. By the end of the day, I’d registered a first round cold bore hit at 975 and finished as one of only two shooters who’d shot a perfect stage. The stage I aced was 12 shots in 90 seconds from prone: three at 314, three at 326, 3 at 348 and 3 at 502. Steel 45% IPSC targets were arranged to the left and right of a cut ascending up a hillside. Wind was gusting rightish to leftish 7-18mph.

I shoot the MSR2 in the MX7i and K525i. I’m a big fan of the floating center dot. NF’s center dot is a little heavy at .05mil, but I think I’ll like the 2/10 graduations on both windage and elevation. When measuring a target with the MSR2, I’m often forced to use the inverted miling L in the lower left quadrant. It would be much simpler to just use the main reticle. NF’s layout of alternate groupings of 2/10, 8/10 and 4/10, 6/10 hash marks should be pretty quick and intuitive.

I can’t STAND the floating dot!
Wish they’d just dupe an MQ as I have no trouble spliting into 5ths.

He's free to do what he wants. He don't have to be 'aloud', like in Nazi Minnesota. And he don't have to answer inane questions from the peanut gallery.
