First off, let me say that I do not have stock in Rod Weber Customs. I am giving an honest review of a rifle built by a truly talented gunsmith from parts I acquired.
Rod Weber did a Magician's job of putting together the rifle for me. Fit and finish is perfect! Barrel contour fit to stock could not be better.
I ordered the Defiance XM action and I was amazed it took just 3 weeks to take delivery. Great lead time after my experiences with past rifle builds from other companies.
I've had the 1-10 twist Obermeyer barrel in my safe for a while now.
I finally took delivery of the Badger scope rings I needed to mount the Nightforce scope. I zeroed the rifle yesterday. Everything went perfect and couldn't be happier with the finished rifle. Look at the pictures below particularly the muzzle thread cap for a suppressor cut to M40A1 crown specs. When the muzzle cap is screwed on, the line disappears on the barrel. Excellent machining!
Test target is 3 rounds at 125 yards with Hornady 200 grain ELD-X Ammunition. Yes, I know this is close range but I plan to take her 1000 yards+ after the snow melts off where I shoot.
The complete parts list is below.
Defiance XM Action
Obermeyer 1-10 twist AMU (M40A1 contour) cut to 24 inches
McMillan A3 (McWoody stock) with sniper fill
Trigger-Tec trigger set to 1.5 ibs.
Badger Ordnance 34mm rings at 1.0 inches height
Nightforce 4-16X50mm F2 scope
Rifle weighs 11 lbs.
