Ronin Posted September 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 So, bedding now complete and Devcon cured; Bottom metal and action were bedded at same time - pics before clean up I spent some time milling and cleaning up the bedding, - the bottom inlet was for an Atlasworx inlet - the PGW bottom metal has slightly shorter profile (though far more substantial in design) The gaps have been filled with devcon and will be finished with lighter filler and coated over to blend in with the stock. Trigger - Bix n Andy Tacsport two stage set at 1.5lbs. The trigger is almost a sealed unit, which is one of the reasons I chose it - the rifle is to be used in ALL weathers and needs to function. I then fitted the picatinny rail to the action with the 5 set screws provided - this wont go anywhere... Scope - Schmidt Bender PM11 10x42, which I had spare. WIll look at possibly a 3-20 PM11 when funds allow. I havent bothered with protective cap by the way - the rifle will either have a moderator on when in use, or off when in the cabinet or being cleaned / drying off Some images of the finished rifle: I took the rifle to test it with a standard 37.5g Varget load, 123 Scenar, CCI BR primer 120 yds First three shots Second three Even with limiting 10 x scope it was easy to get sub half MOA groups Very pleased with the results and with some load development this will perform more than adequately at extended ranges.

Ronin Posted September 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Cheers guys The build was certainly worth the headaches it caused whilst creating the inlet. Im really pleased with the way it shoots (with zero load development) and “low” power scope By the way, all up weight is 11lbs - that’s including mod and scope A significant weight saving on the Ai Ax (6lbs less ) and just as stiff, rugged and accurate. Many thanks to all (Mik, Paddy) who have helped me achieve this long term goal of building a rifle on a PGW action, with a twist away from the chassis stable. Will now get the barrel coated and look at some load development with solids for the ladies come beginning of November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted October 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Quick update on the Coyote build I shot the rifle at the Eskdalemuir PRL shoot this weekend. The gun performed flawlessly and held its own against many high end “tactical factory guns / custom builds” Really pleased with the way it shot - recoil cycle is a gently push rearwards , no muzzle flip thanks to the PSE stock. The Bix n Andy trigger was superb, despite being soaked several times. The barrel, despite having a baptism of fire with 40 round first day and 100 second took four patches to clean - borescope shows zero copper or carbon. Overall the gun is certainly fit for purpose and holds sub half minute with ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
