Looks good Tanner. Is that an Alpen on top?

 

[Bonejour]

Looks like a 10 MOA rail?

 

[bloodlover]

O moa rail and yes thats an alpen on top my scope has 70 moa elevation adjustment so i figured when i can surpass 1300 yards wich on the bc calculator for my round is 33 moa of adjustment then ill switch to a 20 moa but ive got some practice to do before i get there. Im extremely happy the way it turned out. I am planning on upgrading optics in the future. Hopefully to a nightforce but i want to start load development this weekend and hopefully shoot a giant sd buck with my new rifle.

[bloodlover]

I have a rifle that looks exactly like yours with the same barrel, action and stock. shoots awesome now that I worked a load up for it. At least the buck I shot this year didn't like it haha

Wich gunsmith did u use.

Just did another range test. This is my best 5cshot group ive ever shot. This is from a bipod on a bench with factory nosler 168 grain trophy grade lr ammo at 100 yards. This is with no bedding job and factory trigger.

 

[NBK]

That is an amazing group Tanner. I had a good feeling about this build. Lights out brother!
