Jewell bottom metal. syss own scope. nightforce nxs 5.5 x 22 x 56 dd ret rings. badger (lapped by baldie) not forgetting little bit of dura love by James (kaleiderscope) not got started with any reloading yet still fireforming factory loads (sako 55gn) she's grouping them at 3/4 inch 100 yds so don't see the point of wasting them might as well use em properly, when reloading starts iv'e got some 52gn bergers also got some 40gn nosler ct's to try will put pics up later of load tests. would like to take this opportunity to thank roger at syss from ordering my new rifle at the back end of last year to picking it up last week the whole experiance of bying my first custom rifle has been a pleasant one iv'e been kept informed at every stage of the ordering and building process first rate service also a big thank's to DAVE (BALDIE) for putting her togeather for me cheers mate. right enough waffle by me I'm of to shoot her now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mildot Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 That looks really good! just one question why is one part of the action black but the rest green??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramble basher Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 that was a tip from baldie apparently when you eject your fired round that's were the end of the case hits and eventually you might chip off some duracoat so the black bit is just a bit of black tape forgot to take it off for the photo.

6mmBR Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Super looking rifle and a cracking caliber. I use a .22-250AI for my foxing with 52 Bergers and Vit N550 its a flier at over 4000fps, the trajectory is as flat as a lazer beam out to 300 yards. Good luck and have fun.

ChrisF Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hi Mate , NICE , I can say that the Surgeon action , McMillan stock , and A-Tec suppressor are some Top of the line gear , as I have used all 3 . You have made some good choices on gear to bulid this rifle , I wish more people would do the same , instead most pinch pennys and never really like the end result , even thou they had Total control of specing out the rifle build . Enjoy it . Later Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
