[QUOTE="Ross1147, post: 1660619, member: 106919"] Just finished up my “budget” build 6 Dasher on Saturday and for a cheaper build I like the way it shoots and feels. Action is a Rem 783, 22” #5 contour 1 in 8 twist X caliber 783 prefit, all in a Boyd’s stock. I started by pillar and glass bedding the Boyd’s. Then pulled the 308 barrel and mounted the 6 Dasher. Ran into a few issues with lining up the recoil lug, I went out on a limb and hoped a 700 lug tool would work. It didn’t, so I had to drill another hole in the tool to get it to work. Other than that wasn’t too bad (besides dealing with PTG for another long long wait for go/no-go gauges). Took it out Sunday to sight it in and fire form some loads with 105 Berger’s. When I got up to the mountains I realized I forgot anything that could be considered a target so I used a few rocks to get it on. After 5 shots it seemed to be fairly on so I took it after some squirrels. There were some hits, there were more misses but I love the way it shoots! Actually scored my longest shot on a squirrel to date at 319 yds (previous personal record in the same area was 296 with my 223). Seeing that I live in California nonlead starts one week from today. Anyone running nonlead in their dashers? I have some 62 grn VGs and can’t find anything else cheap to shoot squirrels with. Would love some 55 grn Noslers but those seem to not exist anymore. Have a good one! [ATTACH=full]139073[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]139074[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]139075[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]139076[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
