Hey guys been hard at work building a new target rifle/ test bed.
Thought I'd share my first shots putting on paper.
Started with a remington 700 basic long action ADL
Details on build
Rem 700 action
Walther/Lothar button rifled barrel 16 twist
1.203 straight profile.donated by Mt monkey thank you sir!
Arrowhead plug/modules. Donated by Mt monkey thank you sir.
Timmney trigger set at 2lbs
Nightforce 20 moa rail.
Arken 6to 24 x 50 EPL-4
stockies barging basement laminate ssit.
2 days of fitting lol......
Yet to make a brake had one almost done but I had a tool break in a hole more to come.
Here is the gun as finished in the shop.
After thinking about it I had a pad and a rubber harmonic tunner laying around so on they went.
Here is thr configuration I shot today to get on paper at 25yards.
So I was so excited I opened up the possible bag and had 5 sized bullets from the savage and they fit perfect nice to have 2 guns that use the same size bullet.
Bore sighted the gun and loaded up with 65grn RL 7 wool wad and 300 grn epps bullet and primed with a fed standard lrmp
Here are the first 3 shots ever out of the gun on paper
I'm very excited about the possibility of the way this gun shoots with heavy bullets.
Have some 250 275 300 grain furry and a few 325 pitmans to try
Will be intersting to see how this twist rate performs.
This is my first 700 build I had it in the lathe several times to get everything headspaced perfect.
Setting the breach plug and bolt clearance is a challenge but it worked out real good.
Getting excellent ignition.
Here is a short video of the first shot
