[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 544613, member: 21068"] Its a 300 WSM. Borden Alpine Magnum short action with extended magazine box, hinged floorplate. Jewel trigger. Seekins 20 moa rail and Hollands competition recoil lug. 1-10 Lilja fluted #6 with Kirby's small PK brake. 24" without brake, 26" including brake. Mcmillan Remington Hunter stock, scope is Leupold VX7 4-14X50 with VH reticle. It's about 1" shorter and 1/2# lighter than the NF in the picture. The pic was taken while the smith was testing the rifle with his scope. Most of the weight in this rig is in the barrel/action too, but not so much that its barrel heavy. The center of gravity is right about the recoil lug. I've got a lighter rifle (8 1/2# with scope) in 25-06. Furthest I've used it to take game is about 400 yds. I once had a heavier and more accurate 25-06 and I took deer and antelope with it out to about 575 yds. [/QUOTE]
