My first custom!!

[Low_drag]

I know my rig is a dime a dozen on here, but I'm really excited about getting into the precision shooting game. I just made my own cheek rest that I think came out pretty good, and it was really easy too. Cost me $25 to do it myself and serves it's purpose. I've been on the Hide for years learning from you guys and feel as though I've joined a fraternity. I live close to Stiller, so this is a full Stiller custom. Currently working on the right load at the moment and hopefully a suppressor at the end of the year. Just remember, it's the indian and not the arrow.

Spec's:
Stiller short action A/W
Stiller bottom metal
Bartlein Barrel .260 Rem 1/8.5 Twist
AI 10 round mag
Mcmillian A5
Sightron SIII
One happy camper

Looks nice. Let us know how it shoots. Good job with the cheekpiece.

yeah, very nice rig, what power is your SIII? lets see some targets soon, please.

The scope is 6-24X. I loaded up some varget with 140 Amax's cause that's the only powder I had due to the buying craze and I wanted to break it in. I have some IMR4831 to start doing some real load development. The best load with varget was less than 1/2 MOA. I'll post some targets once I get my load figured out.

Congrats on becoming addicted to an expensive sport. As far as building your own stuff, I like field craft over store if possible. Good job & good luck. Remember FUNDAMENTALS ARE KEY! Fundamentals make a shooter not gadgets

I agree Popeye, i like to tinker too. I would do it all if I had the money to buy more tools. Starting prone and working on my technique is what made me build the cheek rest.
