That is a good looking rig! The camo looks great, what is that color scheme called?
 
Re: Thanksgiving message from the Moon!

Thanks!! It's McMillan's Rhino camo. Had never seen it in person and had no idea what it would look like but took a chance anyway.

.338LM? I've got a M995 action that's itching to go into a McMillan stock.
 
Re: Thanksgiving message from the Moon!

It's gonna look so purdy when its done. Don't forget pics of the finished product, and a range report!

Personally, I'd looking forward to the 6.5x55mm instead.

That's what I'm feeling as well. I should have flipped those builds around. My reasoning at the time was that I have plenty of practical rifles. The 338 isn't practical but wth. 1500 yard hog gun.

That's a real sweet looker.I would of done it the way you did it.I like the Big Toys Best.
 
Re: Thanksgiving message from the Moon!

You made a good choice. I always like it when the gutsy decisions come out well.
 
Re: Thanksgiving message from the Moon!

Very very nice!

I really like the looks of that Rhino pattern. Looking forward to your range update.
 
Re: Thanksgiving message from the Moon!

What McMillan stock is that? Looks like an A2 but I thought an A2 wasn't available with that checkpiece. Also, what bottom metal did you go with?

Is an A3-Adj with KMW h/w.

edt: Bottom metal is what Mcmillan had to go with M995s they build stocks for. They no longer provide the metal though and I only know 2 builders(Moon being one) that have 1 each of the bottoms and once they are out it's either a chassis for these or cut the metal out of the old stocks unless some turn up some where.
