Probably around $900.00 total if you look at the figures on ABS sight.

he-he...

I'll never tell.

Nope, I got real lucky. George drew a once in a lifetime Utah sheep permit and I got a great deal on the A5 and the ABS barrel. He needed to sell them to build a light weight sheep rifle.

new pics of the build. He is shipping it Weds. Hope to have it Friday.

Mount up the NF when it gets here and break it in.

 

[donovan]

Re: 243 Ackley build is getting closer

very nice, any idea what the weight will be....

 

[gliechty]

Re: 243 Ackley build is getting closer

The rifle weighs right at 9lbs with out scope, rings, or the bipod. Not bad for a gel coat A5 rifle.

 

[Sendero_Man]

Re: 243 Ackley build is getting closer

Thanks George for answering. Just saw Donovan's post.

I can't wait to get it !!

Antelope season opens the 1st of Oct. not to mention the coyotes it will put down...
