Very nice rifle!

This is one I put together for my 10 yr old
 
Stumbled upon this little load today...

Going to confirm with larger sample but that is 120gr TTSX with 48gr of CFE223 @ 3050fps from an 18". Legit no pressure load, velocity in 24" is 3200 so I'm right on at 3050 at 6" deficit. I have started his next rifle with that boyds stock (300 SAUM)...so he has this little handy thing this season.

Tips the scale at 7lb 11oz.
And yes that's a 3-9 VX-1 with custom shop M1 turrets and mildot reticle. Ha!
 
Just saw this and realized how long ago it was!!! Kid is going on a moose hunt again and he's full size now!! Planning on using his grandfather's rifle this time!!

Started life as Walmart 243 ADL.
Far cry from Walmart now....
Walmart action, no Gunsmithing on action yet.
Factory Remington 22" 7mm-08 cut to a modest 18" and threaded.
Boyd's At-One Thumbhole Stock, adjustable LOP and comb.
Talley 1 piece rings.
Burris Signature HD 2-10 scope, great push pull locking turrets and BDC on 10x for holds out to 400 yards.
Weight 8lbs 6oz

The load. Hornady 150gr ELD-X, velocity at testing 2700fps, 1 moa capable, G1 BC of .595(litz).

Lots of potential with round. Lots of room to grow. Could be the perfect east coast trekking rifle that can dial for east coast distances.

Wish I had this slayer at 9 years old.
