[QUOTE="Ksmirk, post: 319357, member: 6555"] Fella's you ever get an itch and scratch it? this is what I did, I was looking for a long range deer rifle (now long range around my parts is maybe 800) and didn't want it to feel like I was a pack mule so something on the lighter side. This rifle was going to be a 280 Rem but we found a 284 Win reamer and thought hey this could be fun! chambered and reamed the throat to take the 162 A-Max at a COL of 3.100" got with McGowen for the barrel and the action is from my first build a 308 that I finally shot the barrel out, it's a Yugo Mauser action, the stock well I got with Boyds and a few days later had it in hand. Scope base is a +20 MOA from Ken Farrell and I went with Warne rings, I had a Nikon 6-18 on the shelf so it found a new home. Hope you fella's like it got a little creative on the barrel during the bluing process and I think it turned out well. Later, [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/Ksmirk/001-1.jpg[/IMG] Here's the barrel treatment I was talking about, kinda cool huh? [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/Ksmirk/006-1.jpg[/IMG] Hope you guys like it, it's not a super mag capable of taking game at 2000 yards but it fits my needs pretty dang great. Have a good one fella's. Later, Kirk [/QUOTE]
