We finally got things together on my travel down in Hephzibah, Georgia anybody that knows Mr. Gradous know he's a good man that takes pride in building exceptional rifles that meet ones level of precision that both the consumer and him should expect out of a well built rifle. I for one know you get what you pay for when it's all said and down! I want to take time to thank Mr. Gradous for the phenomenal southern hospitality letting me stay at the pond house and and taking me around for the great down home cooking at the station! Next up will be my .308.........can't wait!!!!!

Specifications are below.
Pierce TiTanium Long Magnum action.
Bartlein #3 5R with 1-10 twist. Spiraled by Karl!
APA MicroBastard Break( BEST on the planet earth TAMING the 230grn OTMs). Thanks Jared!
McMillan with Edge Technology black with grey speckle tone.
Jewel Trigger painted black by Karl!
Swarovski 5-25X52 with Tally LightWeights.
HS Precision DBM.
Graphite Black with Sniper Gray bolt, shroud and bolt release.
7lbs 13oz all done up as you see it.
8th picture is 75.5grns of H1000 behind the Berger 230grn OTMs 3 shots!
Amax's are 4 shots!
