[QUOTE="TopPin, post: 2615219, member: 109070"] I have somewhat of an infatuation with the 300 Rum, so I decided to build another one. This rifle was put together by Garret Schmidt at Root Rifles in Montana. His attention to detail and being very meticulous about his machining has produced a rifle that is outstanding to say the least. I picked this rifle up at lunch today, mounted the scope and decided to get it on paper with no expectation of shooting a group. Just shoot, clean, let it cool, and repeat. First shot was 8 inches high (first shot ever out of the rifle) Made a scope adjustment and shot 3 shots at 1/2 MOA, maybe just inside, also that’s a pistol target. Haven’t even done load development, just took some hand loads from one of my other 300 Rums and went to my 100 yard range. All I can say is wow. Rifle was shot laying on the bed of my truck at 104 yards with an Atlas Bipod and a rear bag. 300 Rum,210 Accubond Lr, Fed 215 match primer, H1000, ADG Brass. Scope was set at 16 power. Muzzle jump was surprisingly minute, cross hairs jumped to about the top of the target at 16 power and 100 yards. So should be able to easily maintain sight picture past 300 yards. Honestly not a bad scope but we will see how it holds up. Needless to say can’t wait to see how this bad boy is going to shoot as I continue with barrel break in and working towards load development for this rifle. I honestly believe it will shoot .3 or less, depending on if I can keep my excitement level down. Can’t say enough good things about how the machining was done, the fit and finish, and the smoothness of this rifle. This wasn’t an over the top build as far as some consider. Factory Remington 700 Action Trued Bdl Bottom Metal Extended Mag Box Proof Sendero 26 inch barrel 1-9 twist Garrett s titanium 3 port break (12 year old can shoot this rifle) ADG Alpine hunter stock bedded Trigger Tech Special set at 2 Lbs (had it laying around) Talley rings And a I’ll give one a try Athlon Ares BTR Gen 2 4.5x27x50 FFP Total weight 9.6 Lbs including bipod [/QUOTE]
