    Nothing fancy. Factory Remington Sendero, 7 mm Remington Magnum, Nightforce 3.5 x 15, Harris bipod, Idaho handmade muzzle brake. While this rifle has turned in a group or two of 0.5 inch at 200 yards it is generally a one half MOA rifle. 4 -5 inch groups at 650 yards. This buck stood still at 200 yards and my buddy wouldn't drive the truck any further away :) I'm more than happy to oblige a complaint animal at 200 yards or less.

    Here she is. About three weeks ago I had decided it was just not in the cards for me to keep and shoot a precision rifle. I traded my savage 10 away thinking I was done for awhile. Then I saw this. I cannot take any credit for the build. It was done by a fellow INGO member but he offered to let me shoot it before buying and, well, that was it. It is a 700P in .308 with an IOR 3-18X42 scope and lots of other goodies. Anyway this thing shoots Gold Medal Match about 3/4" at 100 yds. I think I might just start reloading .308 for accuracy again. Just when you thought you had sworn off something............. Any of you guys ever do that?

    Yup Ive threatend to sell my Savage 10FP SR to fund other stuff, but then I take it back to range with my handloads and it shoots 1/2" at 100yrds and I cant bear to let it go :D. Start loading up your own and see those groups tighten up for sure. Congrats on the rifle!

    I like it very much! I just got back from the range after the first outing using this stock and i can say it's worth it.


    How's the gap around the barrel near the end of the forend. I was super excited when those stocks came out and then every one I saw had a messed up barrel channel. That's been a year or two though and they might have it squared away now.

    The gap appears to be about 1/8" or probably a little less and the barrel lays in perfectly straight along the entire channel and floated. I see no imperfections. Usually once a manufacturer gets enough complaints then it's taken care of i would suspect.

    I wussed out on painting the barreled action, but I've been confirmed as the worlds worst person to be anywhere near paint. That said, I'm happy and I learned a lot... which will be helpful if I grow a pair and do an AR.;)

    Nice setup and no doubt it will shoot. I just sent a barrel down to Alan for a cut & thread today. Alan built the most accurate rifle I've owned.
