Good looking rifle. Come on! With that kind of rest up front you should be shooting tighter groups!!!!!!!!!!! You need lots of improvement!!

Are you sure it's Cerakote Graphite Black? Graphite Black has a very, very sublte gloss and a much more rich black finish to it. Yours appears to be a matte black finish.

Nice Rifle! Varget is about perfect for that round. I run 26.9 with 80gr JLK's to 2950 fps out of a 22" barrel.

Mark builds top-notch rifles and is also a stand up guy. Fine rifle and good shooting.

Short Action Customs draws blood......

Thank you Mark again for putting together a sweet rifle.

Took a youth out hunting this weekend and we had a great time. This young man took out 5 hogs with the 223AI that Mark built.



A 75gr Amax does wonders when put in the ear and between the eyes.....
