Gunsmithing Built one for the wife

[cast1]

Deviant tactical, nitrided. 4 groove kreiger 1/7.5 Heavy Palma. Trigger tech primary @ 2lbs. PMII H2CMR. Balance is pretty good. Might go medium Palma next time. Very happy with the looks of this one. First time trying some color fill. I’m getting about a half minute out of it with boxed ELD match but I think it will tighten up a bit with break in.

Beautiful rifle, your wife must be pleased.

Nice rifle what are you using to engrave your barrels ?

Thanks! It’s called electrolytic etching. You use an adhesive vinyl stencil with saltwater solution in a cotton pad. I use an old crusty 30amp battery charger and some carbon gouging rods I got from McMaster. The trick is knowing when you’ve got it deep enough.

Very nice!

Not sure which I am more envious of......the rifle or the fact that your wife shoots?

Shooting is even more fun when you get the family involved! Wife/kids make going out to shoot that much more enjoyable

Yeah, but does she shot, or does he just buy rifles for "her?" .........

Either way I’m a winner lol.

Updated with range report.

Hornady 108 ELD match. Atlas bipod and rear bag. ES was right at 40 FPS which I thought wasn’t pretty good for canned ammo.

That's great cast, I need to do the same.
Looks like Momma got a nice scope as well.

Yeah that’s one of those Mike High closeouts. Too good to resist.
