New rifle

[jezzolo]

It’s almost done. Bedding and black cerakote is all that’s left to be done. Manner’s stock, stiller action, Bartlien barrel (20in I believe 1 in 9 twist) for a .243 win. Going with a Swarovski ?-18. Can’t remember the low magnification I wanna say 5 but not certain. It will be my walking gun with 90gr accubonds. Have the muzzle threaded to take the suppressor too. What you all think? Should be super light.

Looks like a very effective combination.
The 243 win with a 90 gn AccuBond should be solid.

I like it ! I too use a 243W with 90AB and 95BT for similar purposes.

That looks as if it will be a very nice rifle for the purpose. Congratulations.

Nice!

Very nice rifle! That looks darned handy!

Nice. That looks like a great walking rifle. I'm thinking you will be around 7.5 - 7.75 lbs with the scope.

6 and 3/4 pounds. Be a solid 8 after a scope.

That will be just dandy in the field!

What are you intending to hunt with it?

Nice rifle.

Looks like it turned out really nice. With the optic you are planning to put on it , I believe it will shoot just as good as it looks.

Finally got to the range today. 55gr ballistic tip over some Varget. Best group out of a bunch.

90gr AccuBond,, over some 7828ssc. Best group out of a bunch.

Went with a vortex lht in lieu of the swarovski.

Nice rifle! Looks like you have a shooter. What velocity are you getting with the 90gr AB's? I was going to try those in my 9 twist 243 but the 80gr Hammer Hunters shot to good.

 

[jezzolo]

Not sure I don’t have a chronograph. It’s only a 20 inch barrel also.

Nice set up ! whitetails beware
