New rifle finally arrived

[CAhunter]

Well after a few hicups aka USPS losing my first action I mailed, I finally got my rifle back from the gunsmith. I havent been able to test any loads yet due to rain but have some 115gr NBT loaded and will hopefully test this weekend. After load development I will disassemble the rifle and coat it all.

Specs: Rem 700 SS action- Action trued and bolt work
26" Rem takeoff barrel in 257WBY :twisted:
Factory old style trigger- Resprung/Stoned/Tuned
Laminate stock- Bedded and free floated
Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44 mounted in lapped Talley LW 1pc ring/base

Very nice! Quite a handsome setup; and it is a fascinating chambering. It will be most interesting to see your range results.

Wow!! That is nice! Congrats on such a nice looking rifle. Hope it shoots as good as it looks!

I am guessing from the recoil pad, that is a Remington stock? Who did the work? Sure looks sharp! Should be a heck of a long range shooter!

 

[CAhunter]

The stock is a remington takeoff from a 375rum. Lee christianson did the action work and installed the barrel. The bedding and coating will be done by myself. My younger brother did the trigger work.

That is wicked cool. And I'm sure it will be a shooter; I've heard good things about Lee.

That's a beauty for sure, I really like how it looks hopefully it will be a tackdriver for you.

I think stainless/laminate is purrdier than blued/walnut any day....

No doubt about that. The contrast is like a magnet!
