we've been waiting months for our order of 26" 300 win 5R's to come in and as soon as they did I sent one to Jared and crew at Patriot/American Precision Arms for a few touches.
I called it project lite....with the accuracy we have seen with all of the 5R's I was trying to do a build with full build results (or close) w/o full build $$$ being spent.
I'm a big recoil wuss so I opted for his little bastard brake over the typical Vias as I do a lot of hunting prone. They turned the rifle around in a very reasonable time frame and the work done on the brake, bolt handle and re-cut of the lugs =all top flight. Communication throughout=excellent. I was going to keep it in the factory stock but a buddy was selling this one cheap so I dropped it in it and put one our NF 20 moa bases, Ultralite rings and NSX scope on her. Today is range day...so far its liked gamekings and matchkings (2.2" at 300yds) but I'm trying to get accubonds to work. Here are a few pics...dont have enough good to say about my dealings with Patriot/American Arms.
