My APS .338 Edge

[TAP]

Here are a couple of pics of my .338 Edge that Kirby built for me. Specs are:

28" Lilja SS #7 contour fluted w/a 1 in 10" twist
Manners MCS-T stock
Remmy 700 Action
Gre-Tan striker upgrade
Painkiller slim version brake
Badger 20 MOA rail
Nightforce Ultralight rings
Leupold VX-III 8.5-25X50 LT/R w/ Varmint reticle

Am going to do a paint job on it, just haven't decided on the color scheme. Kirby's range test put 3 shots into 2.4" at 650 yds.

Very nice TAP, what is the total weight of that fine piece of artillery?

Nice looking rig! A custom paint job will also make it that much better.

Weighs in right at 13lbs as pictured.

Sounds like you may have something in mind?

Is there not much difference between 28" and 30"?
Why did you go with 28"?
Nice Rifle!

To be honest, I went with a 28" to be a little more portable in the woods. This is my first longrange rifle and I was living in Mn. at the time I decided to have it built. The area I lived in was was pretty thick in some places that I had to go through. Seemed like it would be easier to get through it not being quite so long.

I'm sure it will be a killer gun !

What paint scheme are you leaning towards ?

Nice job 50 !

DUH

Living in the desert southwest, I was thinking of some sort of pattern that would fit in this environment. I am open to suggestions. Pics from people with their rifles painted in like schemes would be great, may see something that appeals to me.
