Thanks to a good buddy, she's dressed to kill

After seeing TMR's twins, my rifle was " Green with envy"

I'll take her on it's maiden voyage next month to Alaska and see if it'll push a 300gr SMK through both shoulders of a Black Beargun)

Wow - great looking rig. Hope it shoots as good as it looks.

Hey, that looks familiar

Nice job. Be carefull for a couple weeks with the bore solvent. After that, the stuff is bullet proof.

Great looking rifle. I'll bet it's a shooter!

Gamedog, that's a beauty! Good luck on your upcoming hunt.

What type of barrel and contour did you use on this rifle and how does it shoot?

 

[gamedog]

The barrel is a 28" Lilja in a Sendero taper. It's a shooter. Here's a 3 shot group @ 100yards. 1/2" outside to outside.

Gamedog,

What's your load for the 1/2" group? OAL also if you will.

I just bought a Lilja #7 contour, 28" finish .338 for a future Edge build and plan to shoot the 300's.

I'm using 94.5gr of H1000 in Remington brass. COAL is 3.774.
Velocity comes in right at 2857 fps.
