I LIKE it! Looking forward to the range report - and really looking forward to seeing it posed next to some big game it's taken.
Or even a poor coyote... :grin:

I only recognize it because I know who bought it. That camo job turned out great, makes the gun take on a totally different stance. I can see elk just giving up with out firing a shot.

Thanks guys, can't hardly wait for the weekend to send a few downrange and get my shoulder beat up (if it's not raining). Bill has already done a lot of work for me with several different bullets and powders, but will be using 300 SMK's with Retumbo this weekend. Has anybody used this combination in the Lapua? The range 10 minutes from the house is only a 100 yd. range so don't know if they will be asleep yet at 100. May have to changes ranges mid weekend.
Bill, I hope the elk find it that intimidating but have found them so far to be rather hard to intimidate, but it would work on me.

It definitely looks as if it means business. The results will be fascinating. Good looking rig.

Haven't weighed it yet Scotty. Loaded and the bipod feels like around 12 lbs. It has a #6 contour barrel 26" plus the break so it's pretty hefty.
Didn't get to shoot it this weekend. TS Lee started dumping rain on us Friday afternoon and lasted through Sunday afternoon. The wind has been 20-25 MPH all day today.
