rifle build is officially complete

...until I find something else I want to do to it

lol

Just got my bolt back with the new knob from az precision, so the gun is all finished now. I love it. The new bolt knob actually makes a surprisingly big difference in chambering/ejection.
The gun has shot as well as .5" groups so that is more than good enough for me. It's a blast for sure. Hopefully I can make it out to shoot if I ever get any time off from work, I'm curious if I can manage some better groups with the new stock.
I'd call this a pretty "budget" build but It's everything I wanted when I set out to put together a precision rifle and so far I'm very happy with how it turned out.
I think I need to add some color to my gun collection though, pretty much everything I own is black.

Glad to see you like your rile. I have a Rem 700P and it shoots .4 with terrible conditions and shoots better in the .3 to .2's which I haven't done anything to it other than get a Jewell trigger and aluminum bedding. Very happy that's all I have had to do to get that type of accuracy. The problem is there is always more that I want to do...

I picked up a couple "battle packs" of German surplus .308 from AIM, anyone used this stuff or have any experience with it? Figure I'd try it out, the price was pretty much impossible to beat. Hopefully it at least works well enough for plinking.

I'm sure I can get better out if. The .5 groups were the first time I'd shot any kind of real distance in a long time. I just wish I had more time to play

Also, can't friggin wait till the ole lady and I find a house with enough land for me to shoot on.

Nice rifle, I especially like the adjustable cheekpiece and recoil pad. I was looking at possibly switching out my bolt with AZ precision, are you happy with their work?

Very nice... How do you like the SS scope?
