I can't see the your rifle because I'm distracted by that gorgeous brick in the background!

A sunny day at the range with the Mark 13 mod 5 (ish).
It is kept on a steady diet of Lapua Scenar 220 grain handloads.
Not a huge fan of the AICS ergos, nor too excited when I see a 700. That said, your rifle is one the best looking rifles on this site in my opinion.
Thanks!
It started its life as a standard Remington 700 Police. If first got a Grayboe stock which I bedded with epoxy and built a carbon fiber cheekriser for. Then it was blueprinted, rebarreled and the trigger was changed along with the MARS rail. It was done from one of the few precision gun smiths here. I also got the AICS AT for it, wish I had gotten one that folds, but if I find one on the used market I will surely get it somewhere down the road. Hopefully in the old more boxy style as that would be the proper way to go with a Mark 13 mod 5 build. It shoots great, and I really like the AICS, even if the pistolgrip is on the small side for my size 11 hands.
3 precision longbois, top to bottom:
AXMC LA in the 6.5 creed config
Remington 700 22inch 6.5 creed in a KRG Whiskey 3
PWS MK216 308 (its accurate enough with FGMM to get the precision tag from me)
Thanks!!!
Had Caleb at Alpha and Omega spin me new barrels in 6.5 Creedmoor and 6 GT. Absolute tack drivers!
Pleasure to speak with and fast turnaround times, too!

1:7 twist for a 6.5 CM? What weight bullet are you shooting? That’s phenomenal accuracy.
The target above was a 140 grain berger hybrid.
Shot last weekend with a 156 grain berger hybrid. See target.

Nothing fancy, expensive or highly recommended, and for that matter the most frustrating build I have ever done. Might have been cool 2010 or so. When I graduated the first time in 2010 I shot a friends 700p and really liked it, I figured since I am graduating again with a master's degree I would build a similar rifle. Man, what a stupid idea lol.
700p 5r barreled action with 40x police trigger
Grayboe DBM
Warne 20moa base/rings
Leupold Vx3i LR 4-14 TMR reticle. I've had it for a while.
Had to send the stock to H&S to have a new buttpad installed/get painted. Stock is inletted for the m5 pattern bottom metal, and has a freeland rail which will get an arca rail once mcmillan gets them in again. The stock fell 3 stories after I painted it and busted up the buttpad. The shop wouldn't let me pick up the action until classes were over. That's another story for another time. Hopefully nothing else goes wrong. Timing is good and both lugs make good contact so there is that.

What pellet/slug are you shooting? Velocities?
It is kept on a steady diet of JSB Exact kings 25,39 grain. At max setting the rifle shoots them at 905 fps, at low setting its down to 770 fps, which is great for close range pest control, and the air lasts forever.
Been lurking around checking out some of the rifles here for awhile. Figured I'd post mine. This is my first custom build.

Can I have it?
My son snapped a pic while I shot the Crusader today in very high winds. He also shot it for the first time.
I had a bit of dental surgery today and after the Novocaine wore off I have been looking and all the goodies here.
Figured I could show one of my orphans. This one started life as a Remington O3A3 and was sporteerized. No need to bash me for it I got it in a box and it was a horrible sight. It was a two year long project and I did all the work myself. At 100yds it prints beautiful little multi round clovers.

Did you do this paint job? If you used a stencil can you say which please?
No, I'm not that talented. Branden at Custom Gun Coatings did it. He does fantastic work and might even have a Group Buy still going.

Been looking to do exactly this with an already sporterized 1903. Mind telling us where you found the safety and the scope rail?
The scope mount is by S&K and is the best I found. The trigger is a Timney

I decided to go full tactical. Accuracy AND precision, I say.
Pics of -
1/ Field expedient portable stealth bag rests, and a canted scope for sideways hilly terrain shots. No need for the extra weight of a bubble level.
2/ Auxilary optic - reversed, so I don't have to calculate hold unders for sub 5yd reaps.
3/ Barrel coolersz. Don't want no stinking stainless fumes on my penta coated obj lens.

The first photo with the scope canted looks “Gangsta”
Should have used a Woobie for the front rest, and god knows what stench is attached to that boot...
Second photo is “Number 5 is Alive”
Third one is copacetic - we all know, love and respect the CTD.
1st-
338LM Improved, Defiance Deviant, 24" Proof 1.250 Straight 1:9.4", APA fat bastard, Manners T4FA. 300gr Berger Elite Hunters @ ~2910fps. Fun gun and a good hunting option right at 14lbs.
2nd-
7mm Rem Mag, R700 trued, 26" Bartlein Sendero 1:8", Vais, MDT ACC LA, 195gr Berger EOL's @ ~2830fps. Kind of my daily hooptie. Shoots awesome but she's getting a little difficult to keep fed with all of the slower powders disappearing. Probably going to sell it off before too long.

And together, well almost together. I need to order Freeland rail sling swivels and an arca rail at somepoint.

Haven't shot it yet. So far timing is ok, and Lugs make great contact so there is that little bit of a shining light. Hopefully try it out in the next few weeks once my thesis is done. Might be a "celebration" after defending or a major reason to start drinking.

TVP 22x47. The rifle was built by Tom Sarver at Thunder Valley Precision. The brass starts life as 6.5x47 Lapua before I get it resized to 22x47. Lots of worked involved especially turning the necks. But at 100 yds it puts three shots through the same hole. It shoots a 95gr SMK .224 bullet at 3200fps at the muzzle.
It has a Surgeon action, Huber Trigger, Kreiger 27 inch barrel with a 6.25 right twist, PSE aluminum stock, Atlas bipod and a Nightforce ATACR 7-35 x 56 F1 Mil-C scope. The scope is mil/mil FFP.
The dope for 1,000 yards is 5.9 mils and 1 mile dope is 16.4 mils.

Just finished up my first 3 day class with Trigger Time and Brian Whalen. Feeling hyped. Lots of good stuff to work on, and went 5 in a row at 1743 on a 2'x4' plate. Took 10 rounds to get on but still...
