NightForce rings Nightforce 5.5-22x50mm Zero Stop scope. Lawton 40 MOA base. good for 2500-3000 yards. Cryogenized (all metal) As is 13.75 LBS For those who do not know what that is, well lets put it this way.

Thant won't do, necks to short.  Do you not just love it? You show your new stick and someone splits a hair. Seriously, while not much of a long ranger myself, I see a serious piece of equipment there.

Very nice stk. I want one . how does it shoot at 1000 plus? Keep us posted always have been interested in shooting LR. I think the hunters that get into KR are better as they shoot more and know their capabilities.

Lawton built it, they also build the Cheytac barrels. I will be shooting her soon. I am waiting on the dies. Should be here this week and I will be starting to fireform the cases. I did not know there are issues with the timney triggers. Huh!  BTW I fixed the grammatical errors!
