338 Edge build

Congratulations. That's one nice looking firearm. If it shoots half as good as it looks it will be a shooter. Envious of people with your skill. What kind of glass are you going to top it with?

Thanks. No envy, anyone can do it. I like hst 6-24s. I'll use my golden eagle for load testing

I have been trying to use the barrels I got from you on both of the 300 ultras for a Bear. The wife will still carry the Christensen one but I'm fired up about a 338 Edge ! Ha ha

Beautiful rifle
 
For our anniversary, my wife left me in the shop Tuesday to build this rifle. Great woman! :)

Rem 700 action single shot
Brux 28" light Palma contour 1:9 twist
Manners eh1 gap camo
Interrupted fluting
Cerakoted metallic charcoal
4 port custom slab brake
Weighs 8lb 4oz w/o scope

Plan to run it out tomorrow and test some 270 eldx. If no luck, I'll go back to the 285 eldm. They were very accurate in my last edge.
Love the fluting
 
Took it out today and tried some r26 with 270elds. My lowest charge was 88gr and it was showing high pressure so I did a one shot, clean for the 3 shots and will start from scratch. Never tried r26 so I want to toy with it before running back to the big 3 (N570,retumbo,h1000)
