A little known fact about Mark, he will take your final payment in the form of Dairy Queen gift cards :)
 
Very nice. I've had my Alpha 11 260 for about 2 months, now It is awesome.

I'll add how cool it is that functionally how a barreled action can be so similar, but the finished products can be personalized so much.

Wow! Amazing work done by an amazing craftsman. I can't wait for my build to be shipped out later this year. Mark is building me a .338 Lapua Magnum.
Good luck with her. Let us know how she shoots.

Guys, I finally got my hands on my rifle. The pictures do not do this masterpiece justice. Mark is a phenomenal guy to work with and I cannot say enough about his craftsmanship. The fluting by twisted barrels is AWESOME!!!!! I am getting to shoot it today so I will let you all know how it does.
 
So guys, after I got out to the range, I shot 10 rounds cleaning between each shot. The ten Remington core-lock (conserving hard to find components) all went within one inch of each other, and excluding a flier were about 3/4 MOA. It probably would have been even better had I not left my rear bag at home. I finished up my break-in session with 2-5 shot groups between 0.3-0.6 MOA range. I am looking forward to getting her a little fouled up and feed her some 5-star hand loads at long range. Mark truly builds a slick functioning stick!!!!
 
Maybe someday, when I grow up, I'll be able to afford a nice stick like that. A guy's gotta dream.
 
Shoalwater, I know it will. From the experience I have had and as passionate about handloading as I am, I do not think it will be difficult to handload for. From the very limited time I have spent with this rifle Mark has made, I do not doubt for a second that it will be a shooter. lash, I had to tuck some presidents away for a while. Don't give up on the dream, Mark has made mine come true.
 
Ok, since no one else asked, I will.

Why is there a gap between the barrel shoulder and the end of the brake??
