Due to a couple of bad influences...cough dave7mm cough aalf...I wanted to build my first long(er) range rig. Mostly banging steel out to 1k...some paper...maybe try PRS at some point.
I still have to bed it and get glass on her...but finally got my barreled action back today.
-Kelbly Atlas Tactical action
-Bix n' Andy Dakota trigger (likely to be a tacsport later if I wanna go lighter)
-6.5mm 8twist Bartlein 5r #13 Sendero/rem varmint profile
-Manners PRS-2 in midnight camo
-Seekins precision DBM M5 bottom metal
-Kelblys new self timing muzzle brake "The Claw"
Chambered by Kelblys in 6.5x47 Lapua
Weighs in just shy of 10lbs as she sits.
My first custom rifle....and I'm smiling ear to ear like a kid on Christmas.
Hopefully get her bedded tomorrow and start breaking her in next week.
Between flathead fishing, hunting season, and life...I won't get to get real serious till about February unless I kill a buck early. Too many hobbies...not enough time. I have a few couple periods where there's nothing to hunt or catch...which is when I will shoot heavy.
Thought I'd share since I posted a teaser a while ago.
