Thank you sir! I am hoping mine can produce similar to yours, that data gets me excited to see how consistent it can be

This Manners LRH stock would be 100% perfect if they only integrated a pic rail at the tip of the foreend, like their Pro Hunter. I never weighed mine but i can assure you, it's plenty lightweight, and doesn't skimp on any ergonomics. Best feeling and fitting rifle stock I've ever shot
Start grabbing parts if you catch them on sale! I originally wanted a Kelbly's Nanook but caught this AntiX at a better price than what i could get a Nanook for, even after paying to nitride the AntiX. Nanooks were also hard to get at the time, I'm sure that is still the case now
Thank you, it only has me to hinder it from its true potential!

Awesome looking rifle!!!! Congrats
Thank you!This is one of the things i recently got from Lance. Post #11 in the link below. Pretty sweet solution for $34.
Tripod head accepting Arca Rail?
What tripod head are you shooting from and using that accepts Arca Rails? I currently use a Manfrotto Pan Head 128RC and would like a similar setup to use for glassing, just utilizing Arca instead of Manfrotto's plate I'd plan to shoot my new rifle off of it and and will have a BTX85 on it...www.longrangehunting.com
There are lots of other Arca Clamps out there that should work the same as im showing it. But the one Linked above can also accept/clamp the manfrotto plate itself too, just has to be 90 degrees from how all of mine are set up

Great looking rifle enjoy, what is your tripod setup?
It is a Manfrotto 290 Xtra carbon with a 128RC fluid head. I mostly use for glassing but it seems like it will work exactly how I need for shooting in the field, off a tripod

Congratulations. Nice looking rifle.
Thanks for the information I will be doing a few hunts where I will use a tripod for standing shooting. I have a shorter one that I use like a bipod, still swapping or buying arcs rail adapters or rails. But will be using the bipods most of the time when shooting off the ground.
I should have updated this thread prior to now but...Two months later, this gun hasn't disappointed one bit and has been flat out FUN to shoot.
I decided to spend my time scouting and shooting it with factory ammo prior to my hunt instead of trying to do load dev. Barrel initially was 2700-2800 with factory Hornady PH & Match ammo, shot mostly with PH and accuracy was great, i think PH velocities worked up to low 2800s as I got more down the tube. Below is a group with the 175 ELDX PH ammo, one of the best groups I've shot at a decent distance (on video too)
Decided to try Federal's factory ELDX ammo, velocities were 2900+ and accuracy was still very good. I rolled with it, more groups below from practice
On a following day, got to shoot it out to 700 and 1000 yards. At both ranges, groups were just over 1MOA and drop calcs were perfect.
A week before my hunt, I found a spot to shoot down from a field position on a hill to my steel below at 625 yards. The rifle shot well, but man the wind in that canyon was erratic.

And when this great coues showed himself, a short stalk put us at 480 yards, the shot was EASY. Bullet hit him like a freight train and was one of the quickest deaths I've seen, very pleased to say the least. Wound you see is the entry, exit was further back but still slightly high. First animal with the new 7PRC
