[QUOTE="trebark, post: 220825, member: 19172"] After several months of waiting, my rifle is back from the gunsmith. Also, I've had some opportunity to do some shooting with it. Here are the specs and results: Action: Trued-up Remington 700 Caliber: .280Rem Stock: HS Precision Scope: Leupold VXII 3x9 Barrel: 24" #4 douglas taper, 1:9 twist Trigger: stock remington, tuned to a crisp 3lbs. Gunsmith: Jim Hart with Hart Rifle Barrels Here's how it looked when it arrived from the 'smith [IMG]http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o436/mtgrizzard/unpaintedrifle.jpg[/IMG] and after an initial coat of brown paint. Additional camo painting to come. [IMG]http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o436/mtgrizzard/brownrifle.jpg[/IMG] How does it shoot? how about .375" at 100 yards and 1.25" at 200. If I had not pulled the 3rd shot at 200 the group would have been <.75". (the holes in the top right of the target are from another shooter) [IMG]http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o436/mtgrizzard/100200yards.jpg[/IMG] Then 4.6" at 600 (the two other spots are from another shooter) [IMG]http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o436/mtgrizzard/600yards.jpg[/IMG] Although I don't have pics, it shot 7" at 800 and 10" at 1000. All this with factory loaded Remington 150grain PSP bullets! Finally, while I did the shooting, much of the credit belongs to Hart Rifle Barrels for building a great platform. They did great work and reasonably priced - I would recommend them to anyone. [/QUOTE]
