[QUOTE="Lovellr653, post: 2852685, member: 113949"] Wanted to share my first full rifle build with you folks, I'm pretty excited about it and had to tell someone other than my wife. I set out to build a ~10lb 300PRC for hunting. I shot the first 36 rounds (225 ELDM's w/ Retumbo) through it the other day and the initial results are positive. It's a soft shooter and fairly handy at 10lbs 1oz w/o bi pod. Most of all I really enjoyed the process. I got a lot of help from folks on this forum whether sourcing parts or gathering info to help me make decisions; thank you! The components and tooling list is as follows: Action- Terminus Kratos Barrel- 22" Carbon6 prefit, 1:8 twist, magnum contour (I will be renting an AW2 reamer from a forum member to prevent clickers) Stock- McMillan Game Warden LR (bedded with Probed2000) Trigger- Trigger Tech special pro Muzzle Brake- SRS TiPro 5 ST Bottom Metal/Mag- Hawkins Precision Hunter DBM Rings- Hawkins Ultralight Tac Scope- NF NX8 4-32x50 F1 Brass- Lapua Bullets- 195gr BDII Go/no-go's- Manson Barrel vice- MechForce Action Wrench- SAC Modular action wrench and head Torque Wrench- SK (borrowed from work, yes I returned it) Torque screw driver- Wheeler fat wrench Laser Engraver- No idea, my BIL helped me out.
