[QUOTE="TC338, post: 2945248, member: 92112"] I’ll jump. This was the first buck killed with my first semi custom rifle. Rifle started life as a plain Jane Howa 1500 in 308 that I got for my 18th birthday. Fist phase was changing the plastic stock for a laminate and adding a cheek riser. After a couple years and failed attempts to build other rifles on the cheap I went all in got a manners stock, Aics bottom metal, bartlein #3 8T barrel, WTO Switchlug, two port muzzle brake, and a Timney trigger. Sent it all down to Matt Stewart at Stewart rifles and he built me one heck of a 6.5 creed. I plan on adding barrels in .308, 6 creed, and 22 creed. The original plan was to buy a couple other bolts and run everything from .223 up to a 300 SS in the same rifle, but the bolts turned out to be problematic so I’m pretty much stuck with standard bolt face calibers. Gun shoots sub 1/2 MOA all day with factory ammo. Farthest kill so far has been just over 600 on a WT doe. [/QUOTE]
