I bought a Bergara B14 Ridge chambered in 270 Winchester at the beginning of the year with the thought it'd always be easy to find Ammo if I didn't want to reload…
Couldn't have been more wrong about, but I persevered the past 8 months acquiring what I needed like high quality Peterson Brass, RCBS dies which seem to be scarce, powder, primers, and a Grayboe stock which took far longer than the quoted 8 weeks to receive.
I'm not complaining, I build custom homes for a living and that seems to be the rule in these silly days of Covid we now live.
I'm excited to finally have such a fun rifle to hunt deer with this year. It's had a bit of work done and I think it turned out really cool.
It's 8.5lbs loaded with five rounds, which in my opinion is about the perfect weight for an all around rifle.
The Grayboe stock didn't save me any weight, but improves the ergonomics significantly.
I have always loved Leupold products and this VX3HD is no exception. I'm quite impressed with the glass and lightweight of the optic.
I had my smith do some heavy fluting on the barrel to shave some weight down and added the heavy flutes on the bolt for style points.
I'm taking it out this weekend to zero and post some groups, but with it all finally put together, I had to take her out for a photo shoot and share. Will share shooting results next week. I'm sure it will shoot great with the 117gr Hammer Hunters, as that's been my experience with every single Hammer Bullet sent down range no matter the caliber, rifle or barrel manufacturer.
Couldn't be happier with how it all turned out.
