Shoots great. I am by no means a great rifle shooter. But this thing makes it pretty easy, as long as my phone tell me what to do, and I do it. I'm quickly learning windage is where a person earns their stripes.

Going out tomorrow. Maybe I will learn how to use this shot group app I have..

Bout damn time - ha! Looks good man except for the bolt on the wrong side. What did she end up weighing without the scope?

He did great work on the stock. After I saw his twist on the camo pattern on Ryan's stock from the 300 build thread I figured he could work some magic on mine as well. Where I live, I have to ship to anyone I choose to do that type of work.... I will be sending him another stock in the future...

Haha, I bet! How did you get an HCA barrel, hasn't he been closed for a few years now?

So who is responsible for putting the bolt handle on the wrong side?

Seriously, looks fantastic and coming in at that weight is just incredible.

A titanium/carbon 300 wm would be the next rifle I build if I was that kind of cash..... Or hook up.

Let's blame Randy. He doesn't get enough of a hard time on here.

Thanks man. Doubt it will go into your sled, but the other rifles do!

He is not closed, quite the opposite I think. This rifle was completed and in my hands winter of 2015 if I remember right. I finally got around to getting the stock dresses up.

I think Mike is full swing on barrels and builds now. This gun is a shooter so I have little concern about his ability to build a rifle, at least a semi custom such as this. But my conclusion comes from a sample of 1.

Oh I wasn't saying he isn't a good builder, I just thought I remembered him closing up shop. He used to be on here a ton and has disappeared so figured he was doing something else.

Nope, pretty sure he is still at it. I just tossing in some extra opinions / information on the build, nothing to do with a comment from you

I resemble that remark, However, the bolt IS on the "correct" side.

He is still up and going. I have a buddy that is getting his build done by him.. I am in the works of getting some parts together to send to him to have him put everything together.
