Tikka Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 It seems that it's the season for new toys, so I thought I'd show off my first custom rifle in 6.5 x 47 caliber..... Rem700 action, Border Archer Barrel, Wild Dog tactical thumbhole stock, Jewel Trigger, Badger tactical bolt knob and rail, Nightforce rings. Blueprinted, bedded and built by the lads at SYSS (Who by the way gave some of the best customer service I have ever received! (thanks again Baldie!!)) I threw together a fairly conservative load, just to get the barrel shot in, and she grouped within 1/2"....so I can't wait to really get down to it and start working a load up! Here's a few pics....
