Jon coated it but wouldn't do the shoe. I disassembled the trigger and he coated it then sent it back to me. I assembled it and sent it back to him then he adjusted it to 2.5 lbs.

Roy

Looks great ! Can't wait to see what it'll do to a whitetail at 1000 yards . That is once you figure out what scope your gonna go with . " TEAM HUSKY " all the way !

Turned out real nice Roy. If/when you take more pics snap a few of those bucks in the background...grin. Them look like some goodins!

Can anyone tell me what a 6.5 Sherman is?

Blown out and improved /06 case necked to 6.5...

I guess a 6.5/06 on roids?

haha cool magnum boltface?

Don't believe so... .478" I'd think...

270 Win case, shoulder moved fwd, blown AI IIRC. 264WM type MVs.

Roy took those pics at someone else's house cause he couldn't get his little forkie mounts to hold the rifle just right.

Jon and I was talking about this rifle on yesterday! NICE STIK..................NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Figured that....is that why he got this pimped out rifle? Trying to compensate....lol

I wish he'd have had iron sights put on so he can be shootin it while he decides on scope......grin.

Where you at Roy?....grin

Must have gone night night...grin.

Ill holler tomorrow. Headed to some place in Kentucky to ride horses at 5 my time 6 your time.

Kaleb... I'm the oldest 37 yr old you'll ever meet. Getting up at 4 am, this guy is generally in bed at 9 at the latest.. Never was a night time person. Give me a shout when you can. Have fun on the horses.

Roy

I still don't know what scope i want. Either the new Zeiss HD, Leupy VX-6 or yes a Huskemaw. Not in a huge hurry to decide but got lots to do fire forming all the brass and getting some loads developed for testing.

Roy

Thanks Popapi... The cerakote job was a little PAI as well as i.. Had a pretty good idea what i wanted buy not sure. A lot of this was shoot from the hip decisions.

Roy

Yep your right on track Ronny. Shoulder moved forward .055 and walls blown out almost straight a 40deg shoulder and still keeping a .300 neck. Holds 11% more powder than a 6.5-06 and 6% more than the AI version. Hoping for 3200 with a 140 but will be happy with 3150 and little bitty groups.

Roy

Ronny and Kaleb... You both know i can't hit [bleep]. Everything on my wall are roadkills. You guys r da best!!!!!

Roy

WOW! That is a lot over the 06 case. Gotta keep that in mind. Sounds like a big bore 6/06 in speed.

Hey RTSJ would you mind taking a picture or telling me how the specs looks on the curves of the cheekpiece. For whatever reason I envision the specs hanging off the end of the cheekpiece but hope its a smooth transition.

Thanks!
