[QUOTE="318lll9740, post: 745044, member: 35398"] I have been a member for awhile and in the last year with help from the knowledgeable members, I have been able to build some decent custom rifles with my minimal skills. I have been a shooter/hunter for 23 years, but in the last three years i have been doing some gunsmithing myself and I absolutely love the feeling of putting together a 1/2 or even sometimes a 1/5 moa shooter. My wife managed to get this one out of me for Christmas. She did say I could use it whenever I liked though:-). Its a short action stevens 200, er shaw varmint barrel in 7mm-08 cut to 23" and recrowned by your truly, with a Bobby Hart LRT birch finished stock, bushnell 10x elite 3200, weaver quad rings, iron sighter one piece base, oversized stainless bolt knob, PTG .25" recoil lug, PTG bolt face, and stainless smooth barrel nut. I think I dont even have $700 in it. Shoots 120gr Nosler Ballistic tips with 43.5 grains of IMR4064 at 2.80" COL. Hundred hard groups have measured as small as .35" off rear bag and bipod. It has converted me to a "reload only" guy on all my bolt guns!
