    If you guys are looking for a good rifle builder, you will be hard pressed to find one better than Altus. I originally won this rifle at the CORE match last fall, but it was right handed. The guys at Altus, Impact, and Foundation however graciously put me near the top of the queue to get parts out for this build to happen. All of these companies were great to work with, in fact I ended up purchasing an identical build in a different caliber.

    Fast forward to this morning, I finally got everything together and went out to get a solid zero and see how much load development I have ahead of me. To my surprise, my old barrels load shot 3 consecutive 3 shot groups that averaged .16 moa @ 100 yards, and 6 of 7 shots @ 200 measured .17 moa. At this point I think I'm just going to shoot it!

    Beautiful rifle! I've been patiently waiting to start load development on my 6BR barrel they spun up for me. My dies finally come in today.
