Fresh from Birdsong

[cgriff]

I just picked my rifle up from Birdsong. I'm pretty happy with the way it all turned out. Tan-T with Black-T trim. I'm debating on trying out my krylon skills on the stock.

Here's the 1911 I had done to match.

Mark at Short Action Customs. He did a great job and turnaround was fast.

They originally told me 3-6 weeks. The 1911 took 6 weeks and the rifle was about 8 weeks. If they get any kind of gov contract work in, everything else gets put on hold and they had about 80 FBI 1911s there when I picked up my rifle.

Thats a beautiful rifle, I am starting to like the Birdsong finish more and more. What kind of ideas do you have for Krylon?

Re: Fresh from Birdsong

Took her out today for a little range report and test some hand loads. I fired 20 rounds and all were under 1 MOA. Best group was around .4 and the average was around .6-.7. I'm very happy with the results.

I'm going to try my hand at bedding the action when I have a little time using Roscoes instructions that he posted on here.

A big thanks to Mark at SAC, Keith at AZ Precision and Jeff at CDI for all the help and fine work.

Not sure about the Krylon yet. I'd love to get the stock done up in multicam but there's nobody around here that does it and it'll be a while before I'm ready to send any parts of this rifle off again. I just want to shoot it now.
