Another NZ Edge!

[nz4x4]

Well finally my 338 Edge project is finally finished after 11 months. Ill let the pictures do the talking.

Specs are:

Rem 700 action
McMillan A5 stock
Seekins precision detachable magazine
Jewel trigger
30" Lilja #7 fluted barrel 1:10 twist
DE 1" Muzzle brake
DE bolt release
Trued action and sleeved bolt
Badger ordnance bolt knob
Sako Extractor
EGW 20 MOA rail
Satin Black MilSpec coating

The scope is about 3 weeks away - Nightforce 5.5-22x50 MLR/MilRad with nightforce ultralite rings.

So all going well (ie the cleaning rod and scope turning up) It should be making a bang in 3 weeks.

Great looking rifle.What are the stock colors ?

 

[Oliveralan]

same as bb, awsome looking rifle and also wondering about the stock colors. let us know how she shoots.

 

[nz4x4]

Stock colors are

50% OD
25% Brown
25% Grey

Stock came out really nicely i think. Im glad I went with the brown rather than tan.

Great looking rig and list of components. Love to see some pics once you get the NF mounted. Thanks for the pics, enjoy.

Great looking gun!!!!!

What caught my attention was the spiked feet on your bipod. What's the story on them?

I'm interested in the bipod feet too...

I like the stock colors, it looks like traces of blood on it! I'm sure you can't wait to get some real blood on it...

 

[nz4x4]

The bipod feet are made by Gunworks in Canterbury in NZ. They are machined from solid stainless and work extremely well on almost every surface! (don't slip at all) Makes a huge difference when shooting with a small amount of forward pressure on the rifle

Looks awesome, who built it?

 

[nz4x4]

Was built by Dean Maisey in Tauranga. Excellent gunsmith IMO, I cant wait to get my 270 win back from him aswell

congrats on a great rifle.

Hard to tell from the pic but, how are the SS feet fastened to the bipod?

 

[nz4x4]

the SS spikes are attached with a SS cap screw.

You need to remove the Standard roll pin that holds the spring and feet. then replace it with the cap screw. was a little fiddly I found, but not too hard once I figured out the correct sequence.

Thanks for responding, they do look like they would dig in and hold pretty good.
