New guy with a new gun!

[Hdgasser]

Well I thought I'd take the time to introduce my first bolt gun and it's short evolution!

Towards the end of 2012 I was finally able to shoot my first decent long range .308 bolt gun, a 26" PSS r700... After a few shots I thought I was the coolest kid on the block cause i was banging steel at almost 500yds. At that point in time I knew I was hooked/screwed.

10 days later I was on my way to pick up my new 20" sps, couple days later I slapped on a Nikon buckmaster and a bipod and off to the desert we went!

While I had shitons of fun, I got bored pretty quickly "Boom........BING"... After a couple trips I decided it was time for some "upgrades" to see how far I can reach out and how accurate I can be.

First orderes were to dump that cheap flimsy Houge stock. Found a nice used B&C in OD.

And that's where it all went down hill... New stock? Why not look into some better glass?? Those SWFA SS's sure are purdy!! So then came the Illuminated 5-20x50 SS, cat tail, sunshade and BC caps. Needed some new mounts of course so I opted for a Seekins 20moa rail and NF ultralight rings!

WooHoo!!

Sexy huh!!

Well then I started considering a DBM... Few hundy for a nice bottom metal, couple more bucks for inletting.... Ya know for a few more $$$ you can get a nice Mcree that's ready to go!! Yup, sure can! And it just so happened I came here and BAM it was ment to be cause as soon as I opened the forsale section there it was!

My beautiful Mcree/Swfa/NF/Seekins r700

I still have a few minor things in gonna do, including a new knob and fluted bolt, threading the barrel, and putting some color on the barrel and action. But for now I am extremely happy!! Can't wait to get behind this Mcree and SS!

Lemme know what you think!! Or what I should do next besides shoot it!

Honestly, shoot the barrel out. Then get the action trued and a barrel put on. During that time if you want the smith to put on the bolt handle do so or check KRG bolt lift.

Looks great. Congrats. If you decide to upgrade again, next thing I would look at is glass. Nightforce is consideration.

 

[Hdgasser]

Onoko that is the plan! I plan on shooting the piss out of it the next few months before it gets too hot.

Vkc my buddy's pss has a NF on it, and for the $$$ ill take the swfa and spend the left overs $$$ on ammo.

Even when he looked thru it he said "DAMN, how much was this thing?!"

I love seeing threads like this. Really cool progression, current build is very similar in this respect.
