Well after lots of reading and two years of kicking it around, i now have my own custom. here she is, off to get paint soon. I put a scope that i had laying around so i can shoot it. all that is left is a good scope and some paint.

Re: Thanks Hide

Just wondering, is this your first precision rifle? .338 is an interesting choice if so.

Re: Thanks Hide

too expensive to shoot for me, I had a Savage 110 for a bit but just costs too much to shoot

Re: Thanks Hide

Expensive or not, beautiful rifle. Congrats! You did your homework well. If you doing it right, you are technically getting it coated, not painted. Show some more pics when it is done.

Re: Thanks Hide

yes coated.
no it is not my first gun. i wanted to go bigger and farther.

Re: Thanks Hide

Nice, Very, very nice! Congrats on the rifle and the shooting. I love those Badger actions. I have a few myself and just purchased a few more. Thanks for sharing and please share when you get her painter up. It does look great bare though.

Thanks again.

Re: Thanks Hide

Sweet! What is the barrel length? The second pic makes it look really long!

 

[shedhorn]

Re: Thanks Hide

barrel length is 28 and the brake adds about 2 1\2.

Re: Thanks Hide

Re: Thanks Hide

Man that looks awesome and shoots awesome too! Nice work!

What kind of trigger? and what are you feeding it?

 

[shedhorn]

Re: Thanks Hide

It has a 40x trigger in it for now. Iam going to get a jewel from the group buy. Iam feeding it lapua ammo with 300gra scenars. I got a good deal on a 100rnds when that's all shot up I will reload.
