Diego is like a kid on Christmas morn. I just received my customized Tikka 6.5from Chipley Arms and I must say, to my liking it’s a FRICKING MASTER PIECE. It’s way more cool then I ever expected, even though I have seen similar builds from Jason. I always wanted a custom shooter that was built just for shooting BBs @ huge distances. However, because of my many hobbies and limited budget I knew a GAP, AI or Surgeon build was not in the cards for me. Thanks to Stan the “Big Bam Boo”, I now have the rifle the fits the bill, in my world anyhow.

Jason and Chipley Arms, were GREAT to do business with! Being the sentimental guy that I am, I asked Jason for a few pics during the build. The guy sent me pic after pic after pic as well as video of the build way more they I expected. He answered all my many questions and did not get frustrated with my lack of knowledge and quest for information. The gun hobby needs guys like Jason and companies like Chipley Arms and I wish them nothing but success in whatever direction the company goes!! Enough of my babbling here are the specs.

I hope to get out and shoot the new stick today. Mostly to fire form some brass but you know?? With the down pour in Diego-Town last night, there is no way I am going to get to shoot long, but I will hit the 97 yard indoor range for some load development.
