Hey that is one sweet looking rifle, how much does she weigh?
If you are wanting to get the most out of your STW scope wise I would go dial up.

thanks Bear, not sure on exact weight but i will find out naked weight and dressed weight when i get scoped, which dial up do you recommend?

308jagermeister - nice rifle! What is the finish and can you tel me what Redhawk charged you for it?

thanks bobs, I think it's just a cerakote finish and it was well less than $1500 with Alaskan skellontinized bolt added.

308jagermeister - tell me about the detachable magazine conversion. Is that an option from Redhawk?

it replaces complete bottom plate and trigger guard, you can find them at midway also

Black Sheep - I know you are shooting the 168 LRX over Retumbo, and I plan to work up a similar load. My remmy action has the standard magazine box. Do you think I will have any problem with the COAL?

 

[Black Sheep]

Doubt it. Mine is a standard Remington Sendero. The 168 LRX is a LOOOOOONG bullet, and it is seated pretty deep to fit the mag. The first groove in the bullet is completely covered by the neck. I can post/email pics of loaded rounds if you want

 

[bobs]

Please post pics whenever you get a chance.

 

[Black Sheep]

Here ya go

 

[bobs]

Thanks, that sure is a LOOOOONG bullet.

Black Sheep what is your load for the 168 LRX and what velocity are you getting with that bullet ?

 

[308jagermeister]

what scope you guys using?

 

[bobs]

On my 2 long range hunting rifles I am using Leupold VX3 4.5-14 40mm w/CDS in Talley ultralight one piece rings/bases. I went this way primarily to save weight. There definitely are better LR scopes out there but all I looked into are heavier.

 

[308jagermeister]

I do a lot of walking so lightweight is my friend

 

[bobs]

Me too and I also find myself in situations where I may need to take a quick shot so I am often carrying my rifle in my hands. So I like my rifles to carry and handle easy and point quickly.
