After learning about the 28 Nosler cartridge and discovering Alamo Precision Rifles of Hurst, Texas, I finally broke down and had a rifle built that I had planned on and dreamed of for many years. I pretty much knew what I wanted for a long time, I was just waiting on the perfect cartridge and builder and I found both at about the same time a while back. The goal was to built the lightest, most accurate long range rifle possible, based on the 28 Nosler. I presented my idea to Robert of APR and here's what we came up with.
26" PROOF Research Light Sendero 1-8 Twist
Threaded 5/8x24 w/ Titanium Muzzle Brake
Pierce Titanium Action w/ Titanium Bolt
Titanium Recoil Lug
Jewell Trigger
APR BDL Bottom Metal
Manners EH3 Midnight Camo stock

The naked rifle weight = 5lbs 15.9oz

After much consideration, I topped the rifle off with a Leupold VX 6 3-18x44mm CDS T-MOA reticle
in Hawkins Precision Long Range Hybrid rings
Here's the very first 3 rounds of hand load development. Talk about rewarding...

That is 3 shots on the paper. The guys at APR did me a heckuva good job, and they're great people to deal with.
