[QUOTE="lovdasnow, post: 479981, member: 5082"] just got her back last week, and had to share:) Well, she's done, for the most part. painter got confused and painted the stock wrong, but i'll get that sent off to get fixed soon. It's a 338-378 improved called a 338 Rogue. So far I've shot about 80 rounds through it to fireform brass, but have had pretty good results in the accuracy dept with very little load development. shooting around 2900-2950 with 300gr bergers(lighter load for now, so i can shoot the bergers), over 869 and retumbo. starting to lean toward retumbo, but won't know till i get more serious with load work up. can't wait to get it all formed up, and then start working up a load. i have shot it at 400, 600, 800, 1000 on paper, and have been shooting around 6-8" at 1000. i'm hoping that will shrink 2-3" when i get done with load workup. I did run the numbers and shoot it out to 1825yds on monday, at a 12"x16" inch target and was amazed at how "easy" it was to hit it. just missed left the first couple shots, and got the wind dialed in, and then hit it 3 consecutive times. can't wait to finish getting this one all dialed in. my gunsmith is Shawn Thomason from Idaho. this is 3rd custom from him, and have 2 more there right now, and have been very impressed with final results. specs are: TAC 338 stiller action and 20moa scope base hart barrel 1-10” 28” #7 contour, spiral flute 1.300” at action, then follows a #7 douglas contour to .875 at muzzle nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 high rev turret, NPR2, zero stop Muzzle brake from nate dagley jewell trigger Weatherby mag box, spring and follower Rem LA bottom metal Manners MCS-T3 Nightforce Scope rings ceramic coat US optics scope level [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r254/lovdasnow/IMG_0069.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r254/lovdasnow/IMG_0068.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r254/lovdasnow/IMG_0070.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r254/lovdasnow/IMG_0037.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
