Had LRI build this a few years back. Mounted a Zeiss 6-36 on it, did some load development on it, then never shot it again. The barrel's a stainless cut rifled K&P, and the actions a stainless 700. They blueprinted the action, timed the bolt handle, installed dual ejectors, M16 style extractor, and enlarged the scope base holes to 8-40. The trigger's a single stage Triggertech special set at around 1lbs. It has a steel 20moa base on it. Had the local cerakoter coat the entire gun. I then bought a custom HS Precision stock, and had a reputable smith glass bed it.
While working up a load, I used Alpha brass, federal srp's, Varget and Berger's 140 grain hybrids, it would never shoot over .75" no matter what charge weight went in. The load it liked was 37.3 grains. When I found that, I then moved on to the other guns in my fleet and kind of never came back to it. It has around 250 rnds through the pipe. To shoot this I took it off the wall, put in a hard case, took it to the bench, back in the hard case, and back on the wall and that's how it lived.
Now the possible 'cons'; The stock has some sort of loose, I'm assuming piece of fiberglass in the stock portion bouncin' around. It's no big thing and I'm sure you could send that stock back to HS Precision to have them remove it for free, but I just lived with it. I dont shake my gun in a quiet room too often so. Also, I feel personally, the gun feeds better with the blind magazine box seated tight in the receiver rather than just hangin out. Your mileage may vary. And lastly, when the receiver was being faced to true it up, they took a little more off the receiver than normal, which makes the recoil lug sit about 7 thou further back in the stock than factory, so if you want to switch stocks on this rifle, you'll have to shave a tad off of the rear wall of the receiver pocket to make it fit. Shouldn't be a big deal for someone that screws with guns a lot.
I have 2900 dollars in this rifle. Asking 2000 plus shipping, no trades. (rifle & base only, the scope and rings arent for sale)
