I finished this rifle today and took it to the range to test fire it. Here are the specs

9.3 X 64 Brenneke
McMillan 80/20 Black & Gray
Trued 700
Surface Ground Remy lug
Rifle Basix Trigger @ 2.5 lbs
Douglas #5 Stainless Steel Barrel @ 23.5"
Warne Mounts
Leupold PRW Rings
Old Leupold V X II 1 X 4
Sako Extractor
Bolt & Barrel Fluting, Cerakoting by Karl

I took 3 shots to sight it in @ 100 yards then shot a 3 shot group. I took the load from another web site. It consisted of RWS Brass, Speer 270 Soft Point, WLR, and 66.6 grains of RL-15. Sounds sinister doesn't it? Anyway, the first group measures .633" and with a 4 power scope I don't I can see any better than that!

I can't figure out how to post the pics in the reply. Anyway, here is the 1st group. Looks promising. I am going to try Big Game and IMR 4007 and 286 grain bullets. Anyone been there yet?

I'm impressed the rifle is only a little over 8#s. Especially with a #5 contour etc. Course it's got a pretty good size hole in it.

Looks like a shooter. What model of mcmillan is that?

The cerakote color is titanium and the stock is a sporter.

Looks good, but it appears that someone cut off the front of the scope. grin
