My New LR Deer Rifle

Hi All,
Here is a pic of my new LR deer rifle.



I have always had a fondness for the "06" case and have admired Ackleys designs, so a natural mariage of the two came up with this, my new stick.

All work carried out by Viper Engineering.
Built on a trued left hand Remmy long action with a PTG .300" recoil lug, the barrel is a Sendero contour stainless fluted item from Lilja chambered in 30-06 AI and throated for 180grn Accubonds.

The muzzle brake is an in-house design made by the smiths Viper Engineering.
Viper also worked over the standard trigger to give a crisp 24oz let off and the whole lot is skim bedded into a re-worked, right to left hand HS Precision varmint stock.
The stock was smoothed and primed and then given immersion printed with a black carbon fibre weave coating. (click on the pic and you can seeit in more detail)
This was top coated with satin finish automotive clear.
holding the Leupold VXIII 8.5-25x50 LRT is a set of MK4 Leupold low rings atop a farrel 20minute base.

Fireforming loads consisted of 47grns Vit 140 driving 180 SMK's sparked off by fed 210m primers out of lapua brass.

Thanks for looking.

Nick.

might want to move your thread to general discussion or reviews, not really gunsmith related, you will get more views.

Looks like a great rig! I also have built a 30-06 AI, Rem 700 action blueprinted, Shilen select match #5 contour 1-13 twist 26", H-S sporter stock , 1 1/2 lb. trigger,Leupold 3.5-10 scope. Exellent hunting rifle! Consistently shooting 5 shot 1/2 groups at 100 yds. Have taken numerous deer at ranges to 200yds. Several woodchucks beyond 400yds, personal best is a woodchuck , one shot at 578yds standing over a vehicle on a rest. It's an awesome round . I load mine with 57grs. VIT 160 , 210 Fed primer, and 165gr/ 168gr bullet. Also shoots 150gr barnes X great! Great Gun.. Good Luck...and bag a big one.... JOE

Nick,

Nice looking stick!

The stock finish is very nice. Also, a great choice of cartridges.


Oh, BTW, are all of those plants in the pic legal.
