looks like a good maiden voyage  ;)
Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans.

#2 looks like a winner. howd she kick. is there a muzzle break in there.
"Right now, I am thinking that If my grandmother was here, she would be lecturing me about how there are poor people in Africa, that would just love to have a Ruger, I would just say "Great, granny, lets just ship all the Rugers to Africa!"


Loving life in the Great Northwest one day at a time.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

H2Ofuzz
Have you ran any of those loads over a crony yet?
I'm pushing the 160gr accubond 3000fps out of my 7 rem mag.
I'd like to hear how fast the STW will push them.

Little to no kick at all with the muzzle brake and it being a 10lb gun. I have a 300 wsm that kicks twice as much. I put 50 rounds down range and cant even tell today. I have to run it through a Chrono yet but will this week i hope. I think i am going to be pushing 3200-3300 but dont know for sure.

Is that a custom rig? I've been toying with the idea of a 7STW myself.

Built by a gun smith in North Idaho and it will be a hunting rig looking to make a 800+ yd shot.

Nice looking gun
pic #2 is a nice group
800 yards would be a hell of a poke and a nice feather to stick in your hat
