he does some first-class gunsmith work too!

I bought a couple of barrels from Greg a while back, and sent him my actions for the installation work.
Both of them showed up at my door a little over 4 weeks later, and I dropped them in HS stocks that I had ready to go.

Here's the first one:

It's a Brux 8 twist Varmint contour 26" long in an older HS Precision "VS" stock. I dropped a Timney in it last week.
Greg chambered it in .243 Ackley. I've got a decent 105 A-Max load worked up for it, and I had no problem ringing a steel silhouette at 945 yards a couple of weeks ago.



And, here's the second one:

It's a Rock 8 twist Varmint contour 22" long in an HS Precision "LTR" stock.
Greg chambered this one in .223 Ackley.
We shot it a couple of weeks ago with some fire-forming 75 A-Max loads, and by buddy LOBO151 wadded 5 up in a single spot on a steel plate at 400 yards.
I've been working on a load in Ackley brass the last couple of days, and I think I've found one with RL-15.

Sorry, they're not the required 5-shot groups, but they are 3 consecutive 4-shot groups so they ain't too shabby for the 10x scope.





Thanks Greg!!

Awesome! thanks for sharing. Bugholes is about an hour and a half drive away from me and I am gonna order a barreled action from him hopefully soon. This just gives me some piece of mind on their quality.

Greg's work is first class, and he manages to keep some top quality barrels and actions in stock.
His turnaround time was fast, and he kept me informed through the whole process.
He got me headed in the right direction on load development too.
Give him a call.
