Very nice that's pretty dang light considering

 

[diderr]

Oh yeah! I’m pumped it’s that light with That heavy ass NX8

 

[HotRod68Camaro]

Nice build! I’d probably build one with all the same brands you chose.

 

[moosemeat]

Which stock is that?
I know it's a manners, but eh1?

 

[diderr]

It’s a manner a LRH. The eh1 was definitely a consideration but I liked the idea of the integrated ARCA a lot

 

[moosemeat]

Looks damned good.

 

[diderr]

200 yards zeroing it

Nice build, My defiance Anti just arrived. have a Wilson 1/7 barrel and gunna get an AG Composites stock.

went with a cheaper barrel as this is my first time ever chambering/threading a tenon, and its a 22 creedmoor so when i burn the barrel out maybe ill have the confidence to do something a little more expensive.

 

[diderr]

Ag doesn’t make a bad stock at all! Had one with my Weatherby. Light and tough

id love a manners but the 6-7 month wait doesn't work for me right now. maybe one day. i have a Springfield waypoint and that is the AG Alpine Hunter stock. I like it a lot!
What bottom metal did you go with?

 

[5RWill]

Did you go with Mini-chassis or bedding?

 

[diderr]

The mini chassis. I found the exact one I was going to special order instock minus a Bt15 atlas rail. I thought about getting one to bed to save some weight but like the idea of the chassis better

I'm waiting on an Anti. Ordered it about 4 months ago. I'm also doing a Proof carbon, probably going to go with a 300prc. Leaning toward a XLR magnesium chassis. I had a Manners on a Savage a few years back, loved that stock. Nicest feel of any stock/ chassis I've had since.

 

[diderr]

Awesome! I got my action through Altus and they had some magnum actions instock a while back

 

[Envo]

i got mine from https://www.piercisionrifles.com/actions/ he has a ton in stock right now. long action magnum bolt face with nitride.

Loving these newer LRh builds. Yours is sweet. what rings are you using?

 

[diderr]

They are night force 30mm ultralight 1” height

 

[diderr]

Made out like a bandit today! 20% off everything in the store and damn near left broke

 

[MOUNTIC]

Very nice! Looks like a shooter too. Congrats!

Thanks! I’m glad you guys had the exact stock I was going to special order through Manners. Saved me from having to 8-10 months!
