[QUOTE="mindcrime, post: 805214, member: 656"] Thank you for the compliments every one; she may not be all that fancy by using a factory action, but she will be one of a kind for sure and should out perform CZ's HET ( [url=http://www.cz-usa.com/products/view/cz-550-magnum-het/]CZ-USA -> CZ 550 Magnum H.E.T[/url] ) easily. ALSO, THANK YOU JOSH for your service to our Country so that I and all of your Compatriots may enjoy our hobby---both Target and Hunting!!! I have SO MUCH respect for our Service men and women, but I pray that all who are called defend the Constitution, and not any UN-Constitutional President, regardless of what Political Party they might be affiliated with. God Bless you Sir! As for the weight; it will be much heavier that a Sendero, I can tell you that! Kirby still has it, and it is ready for shipment, I just don't have it in MY hands yet or I would actually weight it for you. The action is beefy, the stock weights about the same as a Sendero + a few ounces, however with the MTU contour barrel that is where most of the weight is. If you go to Mike Rock's site and go to barrel contours (Here: [url=http://www.rockcreekbarrels.com/barrel-info/barrel-contours/]Barrel Contours « www.rockcreekbarrels.com[/url] ) and look at the Tactical contours you will see that the breech is 1.25" for 5", then it tapers to .900" at 29". I told Kirby to give me all the burn length he could so I am assuming that he cut and crowned it at 29" (it's delivered at 30" so you can do just that), THEN Kirby installed one of his Pain Killer brakes. That particular barrel is more akin to an AXLE, as I have a 1-7" Lilja HV contour on my 6mm Ackley (which is surprisingly accurate shooting the 107 gr. Sierra Matchkings at 1k, as long as the wind is less than 5mph). For this build, and with this action I not only wanted to squeeze all the performance into it, but I wanted a heavy field gun, and the ultimate in extraction reliability of the Magnum Mauser action, so that I can truly reach out and get some meat as steathily as possible. My uncle has a farm where I can stretch it out to 1600 yards easily (I'll sit on the opposite hill and glass while my cousins hunt, and will take out those wise older, BIG bucks that are too smart for a stalk hunt). My Uncle can't wait to see me shoot it, but he doesn't want to shoot it........although it will be less than his '06 with all the weight and muzzle break. His eyes aren't too great anyway, but I am sure that him hearing a 300 gr. Sierra hitting my 1" thick 12"x12" gong at that distance is going to make both of us giddy! [/QUOTE]
