[QUOTE="liltank, post: 1368925, member: 13275"] Well.... for what ever reason I can't upload my turd. But it has a McGowen barrel, Burris XTR-II 8-40x50, and JP AICS chassis. It shoots purty good. It's on a Mod 12 VLP action I baught almost ten years ago. It's been many variations. For 8 of the years it wore a Lothar Walther 308 barrel. Multiple .1" groups. 1 group that measured 1.5" at 713yrds witnessed. Poked a groundhog in the melon at 683 witnessed. I tuned the action myself w/o a gunsmith or lathe. Mounted multiple barrels w/o a gunsmith. It's been a .308, 300WSM, and now a 6.5 Creedmoor all on the same action. The turd allows multiple calibers in one action that is infinitely changeable at your convenience in your own man cave. No smith necessary. I compete with multiple guys using Savage actions. So if they can compete, they can kill a Coues deer. Happy shooting, and happy loading. FYI, I bought the same rifle to build a target Rifle for my son. Gonna screw the Lothar barrel on it. Will be a shooter. Now if Cabelas could just get the rifle off of backorder so I can go pick it up. [/QUOTE]
