My first full custom

[mountainman56]

My first full custom chambered in 300 Win Mag. Stiller TAC-300 action, Bartlein #3 finished at 25" plus one of Ryan's slabbed mini magnum muscle brakes. Wrapped it up in a McMillan Edge carbon fiber stock and hammer drops thanks to a Jewel trigger set at 20oz. Barrel, action, bottom metal, rings and bases finished in NWU gray and is topped off with a Swarovski 3.5 - 18.

Attached target is at 100 yards with factory Federal ammunition.

This is done right isn't it. Very nice. What does it weigh and who built it?

Dang, that is nice! Looks like a sweet rifle!

What length barrel did you end up with?

 

[mountainman56]

Thanks guys for your kind comments.

Barrelnut, the rifle weighs 9.2 lbs and balances quite nicely. I actually built it myself. I've been gradually working up to this one for a while. I plan on doing this full time after I retire to keep my backside off the couch.

ShtrRdy, The barrel itself is 25" long and the brake adds another 1 1/4" to the total length.

Looks like a masterpiece. Anything worth doing, is worth doing right. Learning the trade, trial and error, blood, sweat, and tears. I applaud you for the time it took to put this together. Your craftsmanship has certainly paid off. Nice rig.

Now, get some blood on her!!

I applaud your component choices. You ended up with a very classy, but functional rifle, capable of tackling most of what we want a rifle to do.
