Well I've been working on this rig for two years now. I've been buying parts as I can afford them and have been waiting on getting this rig complete so I could be more competative in competitions.
Build specs:
Stevens 200 Short action
26" Mcgowen Bull, CM, 7mm-08, 1 in 8, 11degree crown
B&C Medalist
EGW 20MOA base
TPS low rings
16x SS
SSS bolt handle
Rifle Basix Sav-1 set at 1.5#

I have a total of 8 rounds down the tube. All that I've put down it was only to form fire the brass. I'm running 150smks over 38gr (just used the thrower because I was form firing so that is +/-0.4gr) of R15. I'm form firing the brass from 308 and I know from experience using the neck coalating die after being form fire yields the best accuracy. I sighted her in using only 3 rounds and then the rest went right where I wanted them.
For comps I will be running the 162 amax or VLDs.
Since it's 20 degrees here I only went out behind the house today and put the target up at 60 yards. I'll be at my long range this weekend (personal 700yrd range).
Here is a 5rd group.
