After an anxious wait by our club members, Marc Soulie of Spartan Precision Rifles delivered 8 of the 10 NorCal club builds today. The other two had some last minute changes the pushed out their delivery date. Marc is fairly new in the rifle building arena, but has already turned out proven performers in the competition scene. He is also a plank owner with NCPPRC, and has been one of our top trigger pullers since 2005.
This is actually the 3rd rifle that Marc has built and/or worked on for me. I have a custom 3006 hunting rifle he put together for me a while ago, a 260rem that he re-chambered that is a freaking hammer, and my NCPPRC club rifle in 243win.
Marc and I threw around the idea of a club build almost a year ago, and today it turned into reality. Marc was kind enough to make mine number 1 of 10. Thank you Marc for all the hard work and time you put into these rifles. This is truly a special day in NCPPRC history.
Onto the specs:
Calibers: 260rem and 243win
Surgeon RSR Actions.
Surgeon 20MOA Base and recoil lug
Bartlein Barrels 1:8.5 5Rs for the 260s and Bartlein 1:7.5 5R for the 243win. All barrels were finished at 26” and are #7MTU or M40 contours.
McMillan Stocks with or without the KMW Logger Head in Italian Camo
Badger Ordnance M5 DBM
Jewell Trigger
Rifles were coated by Todd Powers of Phantom Finishing. Thank you Todd, the finishes came out great.
Mine was the only odd duck since I am a lefty and Surgeon does not make a LH action at this time.
My specs are exactly the same except I went with a Jim Borden Alpine Action, Badger Recoil Lug, and Glen Seekins 20MOA Base.
