That’s a seriously beautiful rifle except that silly twisted barrel fluting.
I generally am not into camo jobs but that really looks professional and clean.
OK, some way cool 'gun porn' here. Hafejd30, love the GAP 300WM. Also digging b2lee's spiral fluted Bartliein barrel on the MDT chassis. That is so cool lookin'
I'm pretty new here. I'm a many year tactical shooter who, as Ive gotten older and more grey has just gotten tired of paying good money to be diving out of car windows into gravel while some a'hole shouts 'get back in the fight' after intentionally inducing some malfunction in my weapon. So I've taken up the more 'zen like' meditiative art of Long Range shooting.
I started with a 338 Lapua gas gun. Only because I soon was not going to be able to buy now in the state I live in. Long story short, that doesn't work too well as a precision rifle.
Being a lefty, Id never owned a bolt gun in my life. Yeah I know there plenty of folks that make 'em. Just never looked at or handled one and just got that' must have one' vibe. Then I saw this pretty new JP product. And they made a left handed one. Well, after doing a whole bunch of work on my girlfriend's parent's house, she up an offered to buy me my first, fully left handed bolt gun. I had to buy the bipod though. The glass and mount came of off the aforementioned 338LM gas gun.
I know there's plenty of folks who 'build their own' on here. But I'm not 'that guy'. Someone once said, 'a man has got to know his limitations'. I'm just not a build it yourself guy. I have neither the knowledge, skills, nor the proper tools to do that. Given my vocational predisposition toward well designed, well made things I'm more of the, buy one complete (US made!) rifle from one high quality manufacturer and maintain it well thinking
This is also a new caliber for me 6.5CM. I'm on my way to my first training with this rifle in about three weeks now. Gettin' schooled hard here. Sill pretty new to the LR Shooting art/practice. But doing my best.

Well...I know most people do fluting for aesthetics....or weight reduction....but my initial thinking was to increase surface area to help in cooling. I was going to do straight fluting...but decided to match the pattern of the fluted bolt.
Built this guy on somewhat of a budget. Started out with a 5r milspec 308 I got a few years ago, it had a leupold 4.5-14 LRP on it with the factory HS stock and bottom metal. Sold the scope and stock and bought a USO ST10 and a Mcree G5 folding chassis for about $100 more than what I sold the original parts for. Pretty happy with how this turned out!
SF, How are you liking that JP chassis? Been running Manners and thinking about one of those JP's for a while now.
What kind of paint job is that? It’s impressive.
This is my Ruger Precision .308. I've had the rifle for 2 years and love it. Had I known better I would have gone with 6.5CM and an MRAD reticle, but oh well, maybe next time. I've done 5 matches with it so far and have about 1k rounds through it.

Unfortunately it's a Rossi. Why I'm willing to leave it on the mantle.
I guess I didn't scroll in enough. I have a nice 1968 Winchester 1894 in 30/30 that I just acquired......for an Norinco SKS....I think I won that trade.
@spife7980 what caliber is that on the MDT? And have you thought about the external and internal weights?
Never mind, they are the same. Are ours the early version? They have mounting holes vs. the current ones available on KRG's website do not.
I’d make that trade too. Here’s my kid shooting mine. 1894 30WCF Mfg 1915. Was my grandfathers then my uncle before me.
Hot damn, she looks nice. If she shoots as good as she looks you are in business...
Also to note...anyone that posts a rifle with a ZCO scope on top...I won't be able to see the rifle...because I'll be drooling over the scope. Mine in a MPCT3 reticle is still MONTHS away. It's like when you see a sports car pic with a big chested woman on top....I couldn't tell you what kind of car it was if you asked.
Something from Finland.
6 dasher and yeah I’ve thought about it but no way am I gonna pay for them lol
It sure but I know they have a normal like ours, and arca and a minimalist.Look at the spigot mount on yours vs. mine. Do you see it?
Never mind, they are the same. Are ours the early version? They have mounting holes vs. the current ones available on KRG's website do not.
The minimalist is just the stud, the arca cut goes up too high for the additional side mount plates.

I can finally contribute! Nothing special, just an aac-sd in 6.5 cm in a Grayboe Renegade that I sponge camo’d with Aervoe OD and Field Drab( btw the closest to usmc coyote brown I’ve found) to blend in to the central NC pines I hunt in. Scope is a gen 1 Athlon Ares BTR 2.5-15 I picked up from Cameraland on Warne rings and bases. I’m looking forward to taking classes at Frontline and TRC and hopefully get into some matches down the road. 
This baby just arrived today! This is my first full custom rifle.

Thank you! It's just Krylon camo spray paint. Tan base, old bootcamp laundry bag used for a pattern, OD green for the contrast. I used a base layer of peel coat paint on the scope so I can take it off easily if I want to.
What cerakote colour is that barrel mate?
Definitely does not look like much but she seems to shoot pretty decent.
My new to me rifle, a win70 heavy varmint in .223...

Thank you sir!
Yes it is Arctic Carbon Ambush.
Looks classy, in a somewhat Old School way. Shoots too, apparently.
I just finished a wicked cool paint job on it. Same old school stock just has some paint. I'll post some pics when I assemble everything together.
I'm really digging that camo/color scheme.

Unfortunately all I’ve been able to shoot is factory Hornady thru it so far
Thanks! It was stupid easy to do. I liked the Manners Black Forest camo but didn't have Manners money and I wanted less black showing... just enough to show contrast between the 2 colors. I spent wayy more time deciding between Aervoe colors than I did doing the actual painting. I did screw up when painting the barreled action and touched it before it was dry but it's hard to see in the picture and I was more concerned with rust protection than looks.
Mixture of shiny and flat ??
Impact action, Altus 22" medium palma in 6.5 Creedmoor, modified Foundation stock.
Some of these rifles look like 'Modeling Rifles'....they spend all day posing in front of the camera...but do they get any serious work done? They are beautiful....and I do get jealous. I think the big thing for me....is I can't take a good picture to save my life.
