    A Big shout out to Jason to make this happen.

    The combo shot phenomenal in my Blaser Pro stock, but I wanted to give this Akila a run; hopefully this afternoon.

    I just returned from dialing in the rig with factory Norma berger 230 OTM’s.

    Nice adjustments w/o tools, very comfortable and well thought out chassis. The rear monopod very well thought out, with quick adjustment and fine. 13.5# total weight with match barrel etc.

    4 rds to get my 100 zero, last 2 touching dead on @100. Instead of popping some steel close up (Cody Gun Club) I ranged one of our plates @ 1109 dialed 7.2 and turned the red light on first round. I then turned to our faithful coyote plate @ 1064 and rang his bell with a center hit with 6.7 mils. 547, 1120 and then a perfect 1.4 hold off @ 400 yds.

    Flawless setup, what a hoot to shoot, 13 rds after sight in with 13 hits.

    I just renamed my Akila “Akiller” for this hunting season’s LR overlook setup.

    This 300 win Blaser is my 8.5 pound rig for hauling into high country, it too is sub 1/2 moa (Barnes Factory 195 LRX)

    Thanks man, I hunt in extreme weather and have found the R8 to be relentlessly reliable and accurate regardless of the Rocky Mountain conditions.
     
    I was trying to direct you to this from above; which I thought answered your questions:

    Nice rig!!
    Those blasers are accurate, aren't they?
    Glad to hear the stock is legit, been looking at them.
    I assume the install was pretty easy?
    Thanks!

    I have never had a Blaser barrel that wouldn’t shoot 1/2 moa, usually .2, .3 right/ammo.

    Very easy install, get with Jason. I was the Guinea pig and it all came together between Euro/Blaser/Akila
     
    Very, very nice!
    Got to mention you sold me on the ZCo scope.👍
    Some bull elk is gonna have a bad day.
     
    Hi all, my name is Alex and I manage AKILA company, should any of you guys have any questions feel free to contact me directly.

    DetroitRearView thank you for the awesome rig report, I have shared it to our Instagram and Facebook page. Privilege to have customers like you sir.

    FYI we will add to our offer an alternative foreend with the integrated dovetail at 6 o'clock with removable top bridge. Besides that a new "lite" buttstock without the integrated monopod is already available.

    Cheers,
    Alex
