That thing looks sinister! Post pics when you have a chance to send some rounds down range.

Very nice! Let us know how she shoots. And have fun with that.

Awesome! Let us know how it shoots.

Thanks Everyone! I was thinking about having the stock hydro dipped in KUIU Vais, but as NWPA0311 said, it does have a sinister look that would be ruined by camo.

I will be sure to keep y'all posted on how it shoots. I am going to try to send some lead down range this weekend, if I can find some time.

slickyboyboo,

That's a beautiful work of art.

I do love your choice of cartridge. There is magic in .284 caliber bullets.

Thanks, this one has been a long time coming. Former member here "Eddybo", before he passed, helped get me started on this project. It is nice to have it in my hands, completed.

I agree, there is something special about the .284!
