JBurns;

I'm confused (given this thread, I don't think that's a surprise).

From what I can gather, the rifles that you're putting out are assembled by hand, correct? They use a standard Rem.700 action (no other options?), that's blue-printed, squared, and trued, corrct? No other work done to them?

Those actions are then fitted with a Jewel trigger that's properly set, correct?

A barrel of only one maker and profile, and length, is then mated to the receiver, correct?

The then-set barreled action is then hand-bedded and mated to a single stock option/design produced by only a single maker, and that maker is one of the majors, correct?

One scope option, with a set of custom BDC dials by Leupold, and a custom reticle (SFP?), correct?

And, rings/bases of one maker (y'all?), correct?

A custom reamer is used for the chamber, to give precise dimensions and thoating for the VLD load, correct?

Your load development uses one powder, one bullet, and one type of brass, and you verfiy it at 1" or less capability at 100 yards, correct?

I think that's the basics of your system, as I understand it.

Am I right, or if I'm wrong, where so?

Thanks,

Any of you guys have pictures of your 600 yard groups? Or really any groups shot farther than 600 yards?

Re: Long Range shooting, read a post on another sight of interest in light of the discussions here.

"We used 7MM/08 rifles for metallic silhouettes out to 500 meters. You can actually watch the bullet in flight if the light is right with a good spotting scope. They are really dropping and it would be very easy to shoot under if you were 25 yards off. That distance requires very precise equipment in my opinion. I never see it mentioned by "long range shooters" but when silhouette shooting we had to tweak our scope settings daily. Your settings could change several inches day to day."

Granted there are flatter rounds, but they ALL drop measurably, and the last statement..well....this is shooting at 547 yds.

Draw your own conclusions.

I like target shooting, have, do, and will SHOOT long distance, and love to hunt. That said, I have fun with true custom guns, on the range, and using them in the field, yet I don't snipe at game, but have at other inanimate targets.

True story: There is a local guy who builds custom guns, before that he was fascinated with killing deer really far. One day he drove out past my stand, after talking to me on my stand, then proceeded to drive off about 400-550 yds past me and turned his truck around.

Through my bino's I could see him get out of his truck, throw a sand bag down on his cab, sit in a chair with his rifle propped facing DIRECTLY towards me, just perhaps 15-20 feet off to the center of that shooting lane/pipe line. My first thought was, you have GOT to be F'ng Kidding Me?

What nerve, but more importantly where was his professional courtesy, let alone ANY regard to hunting safety?

That as some here use the term, was and IS a Jackass. More importantly, he desired SO bad to shoot something and at long range, he was willing to put MY life in danger. I take STRONG ISSUE with him and his actions.

He deserved an azz whooping. I will NEVER have ANY respect for that guy. That was one of but several things this person later has been known to do, showing a complete lack of character IMHO. He also will NEVER be allowed to build a custom rifle for me, even if offered for free. That's just how I roll.

I hope all of you do what you do safely and not endanger others, or become a statistic like I might have that day at the hands of a 'LR Game Sniper.'
