[QUOTE="sierra22, post: 320771, member: 949"] Presently building a hunting rifle fully capable of longrange. The goal of this project was Lightweight Inexpensive So picked up a secondhand Sako Forester, smacked on a aluminum picatinny rail and Hitech stock. Weight is about 3.5 kgs (7lbs) with scope and moderator, it groups rougly 15cm@600m or 6"@660yds and have so far cost the same as a standard Rem700. [img]http://www.kammeret.no/bilder/albums/userpics/10430/Blog_A.JPG[/img] Finished the rifle with Duracoat. If the surface is prepared properly you'll have a very durable finish. [img]http://www.kammeret.no/bilder/albums/userpics/10430/Blog_A_%285%29.JPG[/img] Used orange for safetyfeatures. Will remove orange from scopemount. [img]http://www.kammeret.no/bilder/albums/userpics/10430/Blog_A_%286%29.JPG[/img] Chose 10 MOA (actually it's 12 MOA) angle to get most out of my hunting scopes and enough out of my LR scopes... [img]http://www.kammeret.no/bilder/albums/userpics/10430/Blog_A_%284%29.JPG[/img] Very easy to see when this rifle is cocked...
