New Rifle Build-7PRC

[Idaho53]

Afternoon everyone. Wanted to share my most recent build that built myself and just finished this morning.
Here are the details:

1. Bergara B-14 Action\receiver
2. Bergara stock with pillars added and epoxy bedded
3. 24" Shilen stainless barrel with carbon fiber wrap by OMR
4. Gun weighs 7.2 lbs.
5. Custom bolt fluting-wrought iron style
6. Only shot it (8) times this morning and got a nice .260 group with factory ammo.

This is only the 5th rifle I have built myself using Forster headspace gauges, and it's been a blast.

It certainly appears to deliver the results for you.

Nice job on the build. That is great accuracy for your first group. Congratulations.

Very rewarding when built by yourself.
A big for the Shilen barrel.

OUTSTANDING! Great accuracy, particularly from such a lightweight build.

7 PRC is a fine cartridge - similar ballistics to the 7mm Rem Mag but able to handle longer bullets and without the belted case. Love that you've achieved that level of accuracy from a 7 pound rifle!

Regards, Guy

Morning!

Built another one for a customer and wanted to share. I am hooked for sure!

Here are the details:

1. Bergara B-14 Action\receiver
2. Bergara stock with pillars added and epoxy bedded
3. 22” Shilen stainless barrel with carbon fiber wrap by OMR
4. Gun weighs 6.11 lbs.
5. Custom bolt fluting-wrought iron style
6. Only shot it (12) times yesterday for brake in process/accuracy testing and got a nice .191” group.

So far, these builds have been really accurrate...now I just need to convince Mrs. Bordi to let me build another one.

Have a blessed Sunday and week...

Handsome rifle, for sure. Clearly a shooter.

Excellent! What is not to like about that set-up?
