[QUOTE="NorthernLights338, post: 1007866, member: 84438"] hey guys, update with some ballistic info. and show the new cheek rest. using imr 7828 at 80 grains with Berger 300 OTMs. (OAL 3.86) federal match mag primers, nosler brass got my gun to group 5 shots in 1.25" and all 10 shots in 4" at 600m shooting prone off a bipod no rear bag. this was in 10kmph avg. wind with 15-20km gust NW. 98% humidity day foggy and relatively cold at about 8 degrees Celsius. off an on rain, and a 100m elevation drop to my target. This was the first time shooting this powder weight, i worked my way up from 78. and i think ive found a sweet spot. a different day i went to the same spot and was shooting Stellier & Bellot match 250grain factory ammo, which cant fairly be compared to hand loaded ammo, but it shot far worse getting... 10 shots in 8.5" and 3 shots in 1" now i know 600m aint much for this gun, and really im just begining to scratch the surface of this rifles capability, but i am seriously happy with this gun. +1 savage... i will be experimenting with IMR4350 for the berger300otm shortly. i will post info on that when i can. here is the custom ackrylic cheek rest i made. the massive 56mm objective lens on the millet optic (which has been doing really well) needs pretty tall rings, and being 35mm tube rings are hard to come by. i bought a $7 piece of ackrylic from my local plastics store, heated it up with a propane torch and molded it over a piece of wood i had cut to the correct angles. i clamped it in place and let it set for 20 mins. After that it was dry and hard. fit the gun like a glove, i almost didnt even need to tie it on. i am a south paw, so this addition really made the gun a lefty and much more comfortable. fit with the bolt no problem, it was really easy to do. after it was mounted and formed, i glued on a cut piece of leather for a bit of smoothness and cushion.
