I forgot to run down range and take pics. A family drove up and started shooting and I didn't feel like disturbing them by having them stop shooting to run down range for pics.
It groups pretty well. We couldn't get in a comfortable position in the prone with the rocks and ants crawling over us, and the tables were too right to get a good sight alignment. But given the the uncomfortable and slightly unstable positions, I was still able to get around .5 MOA. We shot about 60 rounds of 220gr Sierra Matchkings, and my shoulder is a bit bloodshot

Time to put that boom stick to work!

Screw the naysayers thats 1 nice stick . Congrats

 

[Quarter Horse]

Looks great. Range report is mandatory.

 

[Wyfox]

Sweet stick!

 

[dangerdan87]

Taking it to the range next week when I'm off from work

 

[moochy28]

Wow, that is a great looking stick. Any chance to get a video of the Suppressor being used at range??

 

[dangerdan87]

Sure thing

 

[snufulufugus]

Very nice sir very nice, should drive well.

 

[Cncjerry]

the short barrel was lost on me. How long is the barrel? Also, 220smk is my next load, tried the 240's and hurt.

 

[dangerdan87]

27" Lilja barrel

 

[ScudMarket]

Great rig! Can't wait to read up on the field reports.

 

[jabels]

That thing is awesome. I've always liked the Mk 13 Mod 5, simple but elegant and useful. How long did HCS take to do the work on it?

Best,
Justin

 

[dangerdan87]

6 months I think.
First quoted 4 months. Timing wasn't too bad as I wasn't in a fast hurry

 

[Shoottothrill]

Total Badassery right there. Looks like a 2000 yard weapon to me with those 220's. Range report would be awesome.

 

[GhostFace]

Okay, I can sorta understand the barrel life naysayers but I don't get the mk13 naysayers! What gives? That's a damn fine stick!!!!!

 

[diderr]

Who in there right mind would naysay this? Beautiful gun you have! If I was going to clone any military rifle this would be it.

 

[braap]

Very nice stick!

 

[ScottVA]

Very nice, indeed. The old fashioned 300WM is truly hard to beat as a long range round. When you find what it likes, you'll be very happy. I've had good luck with the Sierra 200's as well. An older bullet design, but still a good one when you get a good batch. Good luck!

Great Build! Nice attention to detail. Please let us know how it shoots.

 

[jonthomps]

What a beast! Very nice. Love that horus reticle.

 

[dangerdan87]

Thanks guys. I may swap out the 1" rings for 1.125" rings. Scope is too low for covers
I wish Badger made USMC rings in 1.125" height

This. MK13 MOD5 is epic. Very jealous.

 

[Prophet78]

Very nice! Would hate to see the final bill on that build!

Update in OP with videos

 

[leadbullet]

awesome build, I am in the middle of the same project, just need a barrel. If this was mine, i would never shoot it without the suppressor.
congrats.
