I'm so nervous right now looking at the BP barely holding onto the deck rail... lol... Awesome setup
Screw the rifle...... Where do you live??
That's an understatement!! Awesome creativity from build to build. Keep 'em coming!
A new pic of my same ole rifle:
It does ok I guess with accuracy:
Maybe next weekend I can add a third plaque.

Today was a beautiful morning, and nothing better then sitting at home, go to the range.
This my Mossberg 223/556, shooting at 100 yards at the range.

Hey, this is my first post but been lurking these forums for awhile. I’m completely new to long distance shooting and only have a entry level Ruger Precision Rifle but have taken a course which helped a lot, most importantly with recoil management and trigger pull as well as dialing in my ballistics calculator.
As a new shooter with a entry rifle I was able to get sub-MOA groups still. Furthest range I have here in Los Angeles is 600 yards which is very boring, going to look for a longer distance range even if it’s going to be a big of a drive.

California Tactical academy has a 1000 yard range in LA. I have not shot there yet
Or You can go down to Pala. They have an 850+ yard range
Thanks! Never even heard of them until your post and they’re close by.
So hes taken to protecting his ball with your gun.
He may have gotten tired of playing fetch.

I totally agree. I've caught myself looking at them more and more lately..
different guns should have different post

What is the purpose of the fluted barrel? Looks or cut down on weight a few oz?
I fluted mine to increase surface area and help in cooling...and lower weight before I decided that weight was my friend...and I liked the looks of it.
Increase rigidity? In one word no. Vs the same blank before fluting? Hell no. Vs a non fluted lighter profile that weighs the same as the fluted barrel? Maybe. But only in that case.
Cool factor? For sure. Check out some of @LongRifles Inc. patterns. They are cool factor out the wazoo.
Taken from here. I don't own fluted.
GUNSMITHING SERVICES: Barrel Fluting
Notes regarding barrel fluting: Barrel fluting is a machining process that is very dependent upon well-executed work holding. We have a well-vetted process for ensuring a visually clean appearance in our finished work. Please note that IF your barrel is coated, blued, blasted, or "finished"...

Reducing material cannot make it more rigid.

I was in Stockholm, shooting the best competition of the year this past saturday, Sommarträffen 2020.
Here I am, shooting steel at 1000 meters with my TRG22, chambered in .308 winchester, no less. Using my handloads with Lapua Scenar L 175 grain bullets.
Oh, and I would have used other pants, had I not forgotten them at home, about a 7 hour drive away...
The hawaii t-shirt is however mandatory, I have used it at that competition 3 years in a row now.

grHow about some groups shot with that
I live in Petersburg Alaska, it is in SE Alaska.
I have not shot the rifle in many years, possibly when the weather cools off a bit here, I will load up some rounds and try it from the bench!
I still have all the reloading components and equipment around here somewhere.
If the groups are not too embarrassing, will post them.
I have only used the Gilkes-Ross in competition, never tried it from a bench.
20+ years ago, I was an active Service Rifle competitor, used an M1A built for me by Clint Fowler.
The younger guys all had AR’s and scored better, but I like the M1A, as I carried an M14 in the Army in the 60’s.
Switched to Match Rifle when I became too old and creaky for Service Rifle.
Thus Mike Ross built the Match gun for me.
So I was organizing the safe(s) and decided to take a group picture of my current rifles. I keep think of building another one... I dont know if I need anther one right now. I need to take some time off work and shoot them!! 
I need more Manners stocks... this makes me feel poor. Off the PX
I just work constantly and live on a remote Alaskan island... this is just one of my outlets...
Oh I’m buying another one... come handjobs or highwater
I shoot both fluted and non fluted barrel precision rifles. Other than slight reduction in weight and possible a tad quicker barrel cooling due to increased surface area of barrel, I see no difference between the two types that affect accuracy.
