Title: New addition to the family
Post by: deerhunter_98520 on February 11, 2019, 11:37:46 AM: This is my first of probably many customs :chuckle:
264 win mag, 26" barrel, bedded action, polished trigger set at 1lb6oz, Boyd's stock, bedded nightforce 20moa rail, harris bipod, topped with a Zeiss v4 6-24x50, I have a set of seekins precision matched 30mm rings and a 1" kickeez pad in the mail. Hopefully next week I'll get a load worked up for some 140gr Berger vlds. Thanks everyone for the advice, couldn't be happier with the rifle :tup:
