[QUOTE="Winfwt338-06, post: 1896944, member: 113762"] My eyes still well up when I think of these rifles. First, a rechambered Abolt SS stalker, 7 Rem Mag to 7-300Wby. Built in 1993. Cryoed barrel and action, Barnes muzzle brake. Shot 140gr Barnes XLC's 3650fps, sub moa all day. 3" high at 100yds, 13.5" drop at 500yds. Second is a Win 70 Sporter XTR 223 Rem. Given to me by now gone grandparents as graduation gift from high school in 89. Met Rick Jamison at retail store I was working at in oregon shortly after, he was doing article for Shooting Times showing how accurising, bedding, floating, setting trigger down, over the counter rifles increases accuracy. He needed a second rifle to compare to Savage 110 bull barrel 22-250 and asked id he could use my rifle in the magazine! I said let me think, ok when do you want to pick it up? He found the factory bedding was broken and point of impact shifted each shot. After he worked his magic, we met at the range. Gave me the load he found best in my rifle, 45gr Hornady Hornets. I put 10 shots in just over. 5" group at 100 yds! Also killed #46 in oregon cascade blacktail, 146 7/8" 4x4 with that rifle and 50gr Barnes XLC. One life, too many rifles! [/QUOTE]
