Thank You, it’s a tack driver!

The Strata scored again, 75gr Gold Dot about 125 yards off shooting sticks. She made it about 25 yards and fell insight.

That’s a great build, LBP. Nicely done.

Thank You Sir

Ttt

Just when i finally get this rifle out of my head it gets bumped up top. That is a dandy! An i want one Bad.

You know Hitman I had that action for a couple years before I decided what to do with it, I pleased with the outcome.

Ive enjoyed this thread, and check in on it often. I have at least 7 of Les's rifles and have killed a ton of game with them. I have a Strata 223 imp on order with him. Twisted 7 with a 21 inch, number 2 threaded barrel with a Wyats box. Im pretty excited about it showing up. Im sure it will live its life in my hunting truck.

Best, Billy

That sounds awesome, I wish I had went 1-7” but I’m beyond pleased with mine. It absolutely hammers deer with 75gr gold dots and only uses 24.5grs of powder I love it!!

Don’t forget to post pics when it comes in!

About 30 years ago my dad had a 338 that if my memory is correct was built by Rifles inc. Damn thing amazed me how a 5.5 pound 338 could kick about like a 270. Had four nephews in their early teens at the time. Took the gun to the range and the boys shot up two boxes of factory loads and would have shot more if I had it. I really wanted one but they were out of my price range at the time.

I believe it, Lex builds a great rifle.

If I could get over being slapped in the face by the muzzle brake blast I'd own a bunch of them. I've had a 270 and 30-06 AI built by Lex and they were perfect in every way other than the brake. Without the brake the 270 was manageable but the 30-06 without the brake was too much for this old man.

I think a 6-06 W/O a brake would cover a lot of ground

It would definitely! I’ve actually thought of a 240 weatherby same thing myself.

Think iam gonna do a Strata in 6 Creed. I have another project in the works at the moment but it should be thru by May/june ish.
What was the timeframe on your 223 from start to finish?

It was the first time ever I had a build completed early! I don’t remember the exact dates but Lex quoted 6 months and it took about 5 1/2.

Good deal. Be in touch with him soon
Thanks

Yes Sir

I’m going to date myself a bit. As a young GI in Fairbanks, AK., back in the late 80s I used to drool over one of his rifles at a local sporting good store (I think it was called Fin n’ Feather).

Yours certainly looks every bit as good as the on in my dreams! Congratulations!

Thank You Sir, it’s a great rifle.

Not quite that many but at least three I can recall, from a 25/06 to a 284 to a 416 Rem Mag. All were well made and accurate.
