Just received a new rifle from TS Customs for Elk hunting addiction. Just wanted to share it with all of you.
First of I cannot recommend Travis enough. He is Almost always available, his workmanship is excellent and is honest about his lead times.
This is the third rifle he has built for me and all three have been extremely well built, issue free experiences. Not to mention very accurate.
Daniel at Primal Finish did the Cerakote Kuiu finish. His work is outstanding, very detailed and communicates very well. Kudos to both of these guys for a job well done and very satisfied customer! Got about 40 rounds on it and about to start working up a load. Hopefully it will like Berger 215 and a healthty dose of v570.
Weight with TT 315 m - 10 Lbs 3 oz

Rifle Specs:
Lome Peak Ti 338
Travis’s new KS1 carbon fiber hunter stock and Henderson Precision arca rail.
Hawkins Prec. DBM and rings
Benchmark 26” 1-8 Twist Sendero barrel with TS Customs break.
TT special - trigger

It has the newish Hawkins precision Hunter DBM, plenty of room. Runs flawlessly!
Still working on a load but pretty muck settled on 86.3g of v570. Working through seating depth next. Have not taken MV yet with this load but should be close to 2900 - 2950.
Gun season just started last weekend here in GA so probably be a while before I finish load work up. Will not need this gun till fall of 2023.
