Well done. Those Preferred Barrels are shooters. , my son has one in 223 Wylde.

The rifle is a Weatherby Vanguard using Shilen’s Alternut prefit. This is the second one I’ve done with them. https://www.shilen.com/alternutbarrels.html All the brass fired in the old barrel will not work in this barrel , so I still have 40 pcs to work with. It is hefty coming in at 11.6 lbs.

All put together😀

Earlier in the week we in the mid 90’s with dew points in the upper 70’s , your sweat was sweating. It’s amazing in 6 months you go from -30’s to 90’s here in WI. Factoring in windchill and heat index you’re talking over 150*. Today’s smoke was better 3/4 mile visibility.

It’s been in the 90’s all week with tropical humidity here. I been trying to strip the paint of the deck and railing , but that just being done in the mornings. Yesterday we got a real kick in the teeth with wildfire smoke from Canada. Most of the day we only could muster 1/2 mile visibility.

Yesterday I received my Shilen 224 Wby barrel. After seeing how the 375 performed I went with them on this project. It is nice that they the Alternut prefits for the Vanguards at a reasonable price.

Buy once cry once.

Sometimes borescopes don’t tell the whole story. My Savages have the worst looking barrels and shoot phenomenal.

If it has a reasonable size rack I just do the Euro mount. I do have 1 shoulder mount 8pt buck.

Looks like a good vacation enjoyed by all.

One thing I would like to see Boyds offer a 3” bag rider for the At-One stock.

Both Natchez and Scheels have them , 200gr JSP. https://www.natchezss.com/nosler-whitetail-country-rifle-ammunition-35-rem-200gr-sp-2075-fps-20ct https://www.scheels.com/p/nosler-whitetail-country-35-remington-rifle-ammunition-20-round-box/54041-40141/

Today Fedex dropped off my stock.

Looking at the 2 targets posted , to me you have double grouping with a flyer. I would have shot the rifle first before sanding off the front pressure points in the stock. I think it’s hard to get a factory barrel and factory ammo to shoot sub-MOA on any given day. You may come across one lot...

I tend to agree with your assessment on the 0.558 being a bit steep. They don’t have that sleek long nose to help in the BC department. With the larger open tip I bet they will be devastating on game like the Shock Hammers.
