New Custom rifle
« on: July 19, 2018, 06:06:06 PM »
After a long wait I finally picked up my new rifle, I want to thank HCA and Mike Johnson for the barrel and to Benchmark for putting it all together. Now the fun begins. 28 Nosler with a Lone Peak Ti action.

Great choice on the stock. I've got my eye on one of those for an upcoming project.
