Re: 338 Allen Express Remix. . .
Howdy guys,
This is my rifle. I bought it slightly used from Kirby Allen of APS, it was his personal rifle and also a prototype of the Raptor receiver/barrel contour.
I dropped it off at Chads' place to rework the stock because it origally had another rifle in it, and Kirby reworked it to fit the Raptor prototype.
Chad will be fitting a Pachmayer Decel pad on it and getting rid of the "butthook". It will have more of a standard taper behind the grip once finished. The adjustable LOP spacers will be removed also and the stock filled/built up to blend into the new pad.......it will finish at 13 1/2" LOP, same as all my other rifles. He'll replace the external set screws (for locking down the adjustable cheekpiece/comb) with recessed/low profile allen head set screws. It will also be re-bedded/painted of course. Additionally, we'll be cerakoting the metal in sniper grey.
The rifle shoots great, but with no recoil pad it's painful on the collar bone to shoot it prone.
The picture does look like that ring is tilted.....?? Never noticed that on the rifle itself....wondering if it's a photo illusion.....??.........The rings <span style="text-decoration: underline">were</span> lapped, so hopefully if it's not just an illusion, the bind is minimal.
Chad, maybe we should check that out when you get to that point.??
