Sweet new Long range rifle!
« on: March 08, 2011, 02:10:22 PM »
I just got back from visiting with Shawn Carlock at Defensive Edge Gunsmithing.
He was telling me about a new custom long range rifle he is putting into production.
The thing is sweet! The bolt is back in the stock so the overall length of the rifle is much shorter.

Check this thing out!  This one is left handed, so that's why it looks backwards.

Shawn is a wealth of information on rifles and long range shooting and makes some AWESOME rifles. I am watching his DVD "Send It 2" right now and I cant believe the shots they are making!

I have always wanted a .338 edge built by Carlock.  The sub 1/2 moa out of his guns is way better than I could shoot them.  Yeah, some of the shots I have seen him make  on longrangehunting were impressive to say the least.

Me too, Me too... I thought one of his "Canyon" rifles would be the way to go, but this new thing is sweet!
