The action is a Savage 110
The stock is a Bell and Carlson
I added AICS bottom metal and Mag
The barrel is a FAXON M24 Contour Blank 27" 1:10 Twist
First I zeroed the barrel in the lathe and cut the receiver threads, then chambered carefully. I then cut the muzzle for a brake 5/8 24. I had to seriously inlet the stock to free float this barrel.
Out at the range today, the rifle is shooting the federal fusion tipped 180gr over 91.5gr of N570 into a single hole, 7 shot group all can covered with a dime. Seems this one is good to go now. Very low recoil, like shooting a 22 250.
My data shows 91.5gr (Max safe published load) of N570 is around 64k pressure but I see NO SIGNS, running a 180gr pill at 3300fps should be serious medicine for the dear this year
