Geo,

Savage Model 12 Target Action, Accu-Trigger under a pound.
1:8" Twist 30" Barrel, Shrewd Brake
Bell & Carlson Tactical Stock
Leupold VX-II 6-18 AO Scope
Harris BR Bipod
Midway USA Shooting mat

Lapua 6.5x47 brass - necked to 6mm of course
Wolf Primers
39 gr H4350
95 gr. SMK @ 3100 fps (107's were tested but couldn't match the accuracy from the 95's) gun)

That particular morning the truck told me it was 28 degrees F, 6100' ASL.

The rifle was built in 2010 by my dad, Tom Bryant of Evanston, WY. It's been a shooter ever since. Countless prairie dogs, multiple antelope out to 825 yards, and lots of LR Steel. Dad likes to make sure and mention he did the barrel break in on a 1 mile rock near where he lives and it held an exceptional group :)

Here's a few more videos of it in action:

Enjoy!
 
Your Dad put these two winners together. Meaning he is very good at rifle building and should have become a rifle builder instead of his present employment. It is an old saying. It is a compliment to whoever it is directed.
