New Rifle....Thanks Bugholes

[buster hindend]

I just received my .223 AI from Greg Young, aka, Southern Precision Rifles. This is my second rifle and I can't say enough good things about how great he is to work with and what a great rifle he builds. My other rifle flat out shoots "bugholes". I hope this one will keep up with the other one he did but I have no doubts it will. I'm absolutely thrilled at how it turned out. I HIGHLY recommend Greg.

Very, very nice!!
Greg really knows how to build a nice rifle, and he's as sharp as they come on the AI calibers.

The longest wait time was for the Krieger and McMillan. Total project time was around 9.5 months. That's from the time I started ordering parts until today. But even that is a little misleading. When the barrel arrived it was shipped to Feldkamp Custom to be spiral fluted then ship back to Greg. The then made a barreled action and then sent it back to Karl to be coated. So there was some time there that was strictly for the cosmetics I wanted. It didn't take Greg long once everything arrived.

Again I can't recommend Greg high enough. His work is amazing. The .243 AI he built me is wickedly accurate.

Great looking rifle from an awesome builder. Greg is GTG in my book. Enjoy in good health.

Nice lookin rifle but your bipod is on backwards. Not trying to be an a$$, just couldn't help letting you know.

I just put it on for pictures. I realized when I took it off to put gun in safe that it was on backwards. Guess I was too jacked up about rifle arriving to notice I was putting it on backwards.

Greg is great. Yes scope may be touching but I only put the rings on finger tight for pictures. I have since taken the scope off and will set it up correctly when time permits.

Great eyes guys

Re: New Rifle....Thanks Bugholes

I'd be pretty excited about a rifle like that as well. I know you'll enjoy the heck out of it. Congrats!

Re: New Rifle....Thanks Bugholes

Excellent looking rifle, if it shoots as good as it looks I think you will be very happy.

Re: New Rifle....Thanks Bugholes

Buster, what's it weigh without scope? I'm looking at building a hunting rifle with the same new McMillan stock.

How do you like the stock? I'm sure it's great for prone but how is it for all around hunting, shooting out of a blind, up against a tree? I love my A-5 but it's to big and awkward for a "hunting" gun. Is the forend the same width as an A-5 or narrower?

What is the color combo of your swirley pattern
