She's home! - RANGE REPORT ON POST #37!

[bsumoba]

Thanks much. I currently have TPS 34mm extra lows at .950". Also got the Rem Varmint profile Bartlein. In the future after I shoot this one out I'll probably go for a medium palma profile which should still work with these rings.

I'm still debating whether to go with 24" or 26" barrel. I'll be using the Mini FTE brake. The last CAPRC clinic shoots out to 1200 yrds and the extra 2" worth of velocity can be useful...

Beautiful rifle! Now go find some H4350 powder!

I have plenty

I bought one of those inverters and thats been working for her..hell I even use it once in a while . She also has bi-weekly chiropractor visits that insurance is now paying after complaining about it to the insurance company that it is preventative sessions. The big thing that jacked us was the MRI ($850) out of pocket and the 4 specialist visits @ $50 a pop. THEN!!!....I got a separate bill on top of the co-pay for $495 total. I dont understand how I pay almost $300+ a paycheck to insurance, then get slapped with over $1500 in medical out of pocket...worst part, it happened towards the end of last year, so it doesnt count towards our deductible for 2014!

okay....im off my soapbox...

Ugh I've been there.

Glad everything it going well though man. Gun is killer looking!

Those powders can be traded publicly on the commodities market right now and be valued higher than gold...

Heck of a way to "enter to precision bolt arena." Awesome stick built by a bad azz gunsmith. Better get to shooting, the clinics are around the corner.

$3k?! How? I count $4k if it's cerakoted.

AHH crap...forgot the trigger. Here is the real cost:

Defiance Action - $1464 (includes DROS, tax)
Barrel - $340
Brake - $50
Stock - $712
Trigger - $205
Gunsmithing & Cerakote - $775

Total - $3,546 (less scope, rings, bipod)

[RobG]

btw how is the brake done on that barrel? Is it screwed in or was it cut into the barrel?

I have seen one up close and couldn't find the seam. I don't know how he does it so well, but he does.

Ah that explains it, you got the stock super cheap. Congratulations on that beauty brother. There's just something fulfilling about owning a rifle of that quality.

[osis32]

oh that is sick man. excited to see it in person. my buddy is gonna blow his load over the aics stock.

She's home!

Gunsmithing & Cerakote - $775

Paint work is expensive!
I charge $250 to hang a barrel on an action with a muzzle brake on the barrel.
That leaves $525 in paint work.
I really should start doing paint work...

[pklin1297]

You should Randall.
