Just wanted to introduce myself new to the long range game. Just finished my first build through a gunsmith buddy I deployed with.
 
I grew up in Rock bottom. Lots of great shooting spots there.
Welcome to the forum.
 
Howdy from Shoshoni and thank you for your service.
 
I was in the army. I had a few jobs but ultimately deployed doing convoy security in Iraq 06. Thank you for your support.
 
Nice! This is my first custom, I would consider it a mid range rifle as far as budget is concerned.

Very nice that a remmy in an hs3 chassis? What caliber?
 
And yes, it's a remington 700 in an hs3 chasis. I'm just getting started so I went with a ss shileen select match. I know the button barrels have disadvantages but it will be a while before I can discern those.
 
That's a fantastic budget build and will serve you well. I have shot out a few shilens and criterion's... All shot lights out in sure it will be a shooter
 
I took it out, sighted it in. I forgot my mag so I had to single shot it. Even removing my head from the rest fumbling around in the cold to place a round in the chamber I was shooting decent groupings. I want to get it out with the mag and see how she does.
 
100 yards with Hornady 140 grain bhtp.
