Nice looking rig, bet it shoots just as well!

@Nature Boy ,are those your rings and scope too? The receiver looks to be very nicely fitted to the stock. Looking forward to a review from you once you have it, along with lots of targets, load work up etc. Very nice!!

 

[Nature Boy]

are those your rings and scope too?

Yes they are. Kelbly 25 MOA dovetail rings and a Kahles 10-50x56

Is muzzle brake allowed?

Very nice rifle.

Very nice rifle.

Not in F Class. I had them include a thread protector for competition duty

The stock colors are killin' me (reminds me too much of Bulldog colors...) but overall a very nice rifle. Is that Khales the same one that you had on your Mausingfield, or a new addition for this rig?

It’s a new addition. I have the 6-24x56 on the Mausingfield. This is the 10-50x56. The former is MIL and the latter is MOA

I realize the camo colors won’t appeal to everyone but I wanted something different. I collaborated with my 14 year old son and settled on Call of Duty “urban camo”. That’s the inspiration for it and I like it

Update:

I hated the high scope rings. Couldn’t get a good head position behind the scope, plus it just looks goofy.

So, I swapped the high rings for a set of medium rings and ran into a bolt handle clearance issue with the Kahles scope.

After talking to Ian Kelbly at Kelbly’s he said to send the bolt back and they would bend the handle.

I FedEx’d it to him on a Monday and got it back on Thursday.......no charge. That gave me enough time to get to the range on Friday to finish load testing and shoot it in an F Class match on Saturday.

That, ladies and gentleman, is customer service.

It made a huge difference in ergonomics. Still, my rear bag needs to be a bit higher, I think.

I've heard only good things about Kelbys, good to see that trend continues!

That rifle looks right at home there!

God's I hope they get the real range set up here, I'd love to have a reason to have something like that built.

You have an island adding land by the minute. There ought to be enough to section off a high power rifle range

Lavas still busy blowing up boats, have to wait for a while......

There was actually a really REALLY nice shooting facility proposed, land donated, and people willing to build it, but hotels complained about the possible noise and blocked it.
