I try to build 3 rifles every year, get to the hunting area a month early for long range target practice and scouting. Then I hunt with the best of the 3.

So far in 2014 I have built a Mosin Nagant 7mmRemMag with a Rem700 take off barrel, got it repeating with magazine mods. I took it to the range and it is a 1.3 moa rifle. Don't want that.

I have got another MN half built with a Krieger 300 WinMag barrel. It is pillar bedded, but no magazine mods yet.

I am running out of time and stuck doing construction on my house.

Just got word from by gunsmith that all the parts are in and all I need to do now is wait for him to clear his backlog.

Rifle specs are:


  • .260 Rem
  • Stiller Predator SA
  • Wyatt extended box mag
  • Brux Barrel - interrupted fluting- 1:8" twist
  • PTG Bottom Metal
  • Jewel trigger - 2.25 lbs.
  • McMillan Game Scout Stock (Hybrid of Remington/McMillan A3 stocks)
  • Atlas Bi-Pod
  • Cerakote finish
Hopefully it will be in my hands before Thanksgiving.

No darn it. Wife says "Hell no".
Girlfriend #1 says "I don't care",
Girlfriend # 2 says" Yes, Ill buy it for you",
BUT Wife always wins, so my answer has to be NO.
