Well I recently had a custom EDGE built For me By ATRS and due to work and waiting on DHL and Whole sale sports for supplies its been sitting in the safe burning a hole in my mind . So this weekend everything came together and I got to take it out for the first time . After I got it sighted in at 100 I took it out and did a drop chart out to 500 now I know this is only short range for this rifle but thats all time allowed . And all I have to say is this thing is AWSOME . Now the next time out im hopeing to really get out there maybe 1000+ . This is all new to me this is my first long range rifle and I must say im hooked

I want to say a big THANK YOU to the team at ATRS for not only building the rifle but helping me with every step.

Now the details
LH 700 Rem action fully accurized
30" Rock Creek Barrel 1 in 9.4 twist
McMillan A5
Jewel Trigger
ARTS recoil Lug
ARTS Bolt Knob
NF 5.5X22-56 NP-R2
HS Detachable mag


Sorry the only picture I have is back to the cabin doing the barrel break in But here it is anyways

Grunt,
Nice rig. You will find that a 500 yard shot with an EDGE is a chip shot. Enjoy your rifle. Who's break did you use ?

Wow - you jumped right into the deep end of the pool! Nice rig. What do you plan to hunt with that big stick?

I plan to hunt barren ground caribou and moose with the odd white tail deer in Nova Scotia and maybe even a Black Bear or two

caribou and whitetail?? Don't come back here and say you shot one from any closer than 1k.

Black bear...you can get a little closer if you want.
