Thanks for the info - and the picture you have some nice toys:) Think I will have to put one of those EH2's on my list of stuff I need!! Thank you! FYI, I'm a distributor and I've got a batch of 10 EH2 stocks on order. I'm thinking I should have them in a couple months. All Rem 700 SA, Bartlein #3 contour w/ 1" shank, M5 DMB inlet, 4 different color options w/ Elite shell. Let me know if you're interested.

That is a very cool set up; how far you plan to stretch it to range-wise!
Sure looks like fun 3500 is screamin!

I really like that.
I have more years behind me than in front and my lust for building new things is long gone, but if Tikka would come out with a 1-8" 22 Creedmoor, I'd buy one.

. . . if Tikka would come out with a 1-8" 22 Creedmoor, I'd buy one. Find a T3/T3x in .223 with the 1:8 and punch it out. Easy peasy . . .

I have been shooting the .22 Manbun for four years now...easily my favorite caliber. The 69TMK is bad medicine at 3550fps...

Been hunting with this rifle for 3 years now, its killed 7 deer, and a sack full of pigs and coyotes. I built it on the cheap, as an experiment. Its a 700 action with 22 inches of the cheapest CM tube Shilen makes. I put it in a Stocky's Long Range Polymer stock that was inletted for Magpul DBM. I topped it with a Burris XTRII 3-15 in UTG Pro Rings on Burris steel bases. It was an absolute laser, shooting 69gr TMKs at 3550fps without even twisting it very hard. The only real downside is that it was a heavy turd. Without the can, the rifle weighed 13lb, 10oz. The majority of that was in the stock and hardware. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/zvYnDdBX/20190123-170943.jpg) I decided I wasn't getting any younger, and carrying heavy [bleep] gets old fast. The gun is fairly long, and the heavy butt made it ride a little awkward in my Eberlestock. I decided it was time to put the toad on a diet. I stumbled across an AG Composites Alpine Hunter on the 'hide for a good deal, so I snagged it. Again on the 'hide, I found some Grayboe DBM for a heck a bargain. I hopped over to Midway, and ordered a set of Talley LW 34mm Lows, then to Rokslide where I picked up a Titanium Arca plate. All together, I am down to 10lb 4oz without the can. The gun feels like a whole different critter, and the stock is an amazing piece of gear. Its a little nose heavy, but not horribly so. If anything, the nose weight will make it ride in the Eberlestock better. Maybe once I burn this barrel, I will throw a CF tube on it and see how light it gets! ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/J7XxwXnz/iezIA5R.jpg)

My gunsmith had a couple AG stocks I handled when I picked up my rifle. I’m a Manners guy but man I was very impressed with the AG!

Fixed the images, sorry about that!!
Yes, the AG is my new go-to. I am currently in the middle of a lightweight 308 build using a Bansner stock, and its all I can do not to order another Alpine Hunter instead...

Of the three bucks I have killed with it, all were large bodied, mature deer. The shoulder mount 12, I shanked the shot a bit and hit him a but further back than I would have liked. He ran about 200yd and piled up. The gnarly one and the tall 8 were both shot within 25yd of each other in consecutive years. Both were right at 225yd, quartering to. The gnarly deer ran about 20yd and was done. This year's deer ran about 200yd into a creek, and never came out. The does have all been similar, a couple of bang flops, a couple of short runs, no real issues. If I have any complaint, its that the little bullet doesn't leave much of a blood trail.
