My first bolt gun build. Waiting on a barrel vice from 21st Century. Once it arrives I will slap it all together.
- Criterion 24” 308 1:10 light varmint profile shouldered pre-fit cut by NSS
- ATS break
- Solus obsidian action
Finally got my last pieces in a couple of days ago and screwed it aml together.
Aero Solus obsidian action
Proof 26” 6 Dasgher 1:7.5 twist
Trigger tech diamond
MDT XRS chassis sponge painted out of boredom
Xrs 1350 arca rail
Warne Skyline scope mount
Mk4HD 8-32
Gen 3 Fat Bastard
I’ll probably make some ammo in the morning and go shoot it and see how she acts. I’m not a massive fan of the mk4 even at my price and I have another new in box Cronus BTR that I may swap out for. The mk4 is nice enough but lack of illumination kinda turned out to be a thing I DO miss a lot reticle when shooting g steel against a wooded background.
I have like 3lbs of Varget and 8 lbs of the new shooters world “the creed”. I’m using Norma brass and Berger 105’s, just haven’t decided which powder to use. The creed is supposedly really close to RL15 but I can find no load data for it yet on a dasher.
May start 10% low from the RL15 loads and try it or maybe just go with varget like 93.965% of dasher shooters do…..

Figured I would post a non Foundation rifle for a change since I am about to swap the barrel on it. Here is one of my TCS equipped rifles. I always forget how much I like this rifle and it collects way to much dust.
Barrel swapped, new 6 Dasher barrel came in... and a 25GT barrel came in as well. Both CRBs cut by Brad at H&W.
Can you tell me more about the mag block you have on the JAE? Is that a gray ops or one you had made for it bc it looks like it was made just for it. Any pics or who to get them from if made specifically? Thanks
I bought the chassis here last year….heres a link to his post:
https://www.snipershide.com/shootin...-700-chassis-shoot-prs.7209603/#post-11453315
Added a neat lil pack to my RACS stock. Bought the pouch a few years ago when I knew nothing about plate carriers (thats how 5.11 get ya). Finally put it to good use. Both the chassis and the scope has too many screws to NOT carry some keys with them.
Remington 40X in an XLR chassis,. 308 with about 2100 rounds thru the gun. Had it made in 2007 by Remington and swapped the stock shortly after that. It's aging nicely.

In honor of the holiday brought to you by citizens with guns, I assembled this new rig after having a custom cerakote camo job done on the chassis. Happy Independence Day!

Nothing special here, but I call it my high mileage REM 700. That’s because the action has been around to several of the best gunsmiths in the country. LRI. SAC (2x). SPR. This journey started in 2018 as a bare action that was going to build it into a precision rifle. I spent waaaay too much money on it, but it snowballed out of control. Since then, I’ve been buying Zermatt Origin actions (have 4 now) for my precision builds. I’ve probably spent twice (or more) on this Rem 700 over what an Origin costs. Lesson learned. I won’t do that again. The barrel is a Hawk Hill Marksman contour and is chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. I recently picked up a MPA ESR chassis (tungsten) and while it won’t replace my Matrix Pro chassis I use on my PRS rigs, it’s a nice option.
After I gave up on the prefit that I couldn’t get shooting, this thing has been wearing fatass straight profiles - chonky.

$125 308 barrel I found on the PX. Spun it on some extra shit I had laying around. Shoots awesome and have taken it out to 1200 yards despite the 18" barrel. Kinda in love right now

I bought a 223 Remington 700, but sold it a few years ago because I didn't like the feel of the action. Felt a TRG 22a1 at my lgs and swore never to buy a bolt gun that didn't feel as good.

I've been a slacker at the range this year.. work has got me all tied up with little time for fun, though I made it out today with the GAP Bat in 6mm br 
200 yards, some ammo loaded up from last year.... SMK 107

Operation TRG restoration is pretty much complete. This was one of my worse used purchases. It was sold as “minor rust on the mags but everything else sweet” - after receiving it I discovered a horribly corroded barrel, bolt that was rusty and corroded, with the ejector and extractor springs 80% pure rust, a stock that had a few coats of miserable rattlecan on it, missing hardware, and yes, some trashed mags haha.
While I probably should have sent it back, it ended up being a bit of a restoration project, and this is what I ended up doing.
- replacement new takeoff 6.5cm TRG barrel
- @lumleyarms bolt handle, which I bent.
- bolt fluting to remove as much of the surface corrosion as possible
- @krg_ops Folding TRG buttstock
- full tear down, soak, blast, and fresh dark Cobalt cerakote on the metalwork.
- fresh coat of Highland Green on the forend and grips.
- replaced the extractor/ejector springs
I wish I’d taken more “before” photos - but I went straight into “fix it” mode when it arrived. While it would have been WAY easier to send it back and spend a bit more on a clean TRG, at least we bought it back from the death.

Great stuff but I feel for you. I recently had a similar experience
I was on a streak with all these barn find old new stock rifles and than it happened…….. poorly listed item with only one pic but after a long phone conversation I was assured by one of the dealer personal that the gun was lightly used and well maintained …… ya figure how bad could a 308 be
The whole deal started bad …. The rifle got lost for 10 days. USPS is very bad these days
They first told me it was shipped …. Than I was told it was at my FFL ….. than I was told fed ex accidentally picked it up with a USPS label and they were holding it. Miraculously it arrived on day 11 and was packaged poorly and the box was beat up
Upon inspection the gun was beat to shit. Damaged crown …. Chamber looked like it was worked on with a power drill and a wire brush. The barrel was badly pitted . I dont think they ever cleaned the barrel …. The copper ran out of it and exposed a shot rifle
The bore scope made me sick. I immediately had my ffl overnight it back UPS the way a gun should be shipped called them in the am and said the gun would be back to them by 10 am and i expected a refund bt 12
Even though they said all sales were final and no refunds Amex confirmed a refund shortly after noon
If the guy didn’t represent the rifle completely opposite of what it was i would not have been so pissed
Amazes me of how people treat a good gun
I was glad I did a few days later I found a 26 inch barrel the first was 20 digi cam rifle that was never shot and i am impressed it wants to shoot
I commend you on the project
