Lol. I have a pile of those boxes that have 80 bullet



I made this stock by laminating some flat sawn pieces of African Bubinga. Turned it into a McMillan A-5 clone. Inletted, bedded and finished it with Tung oil.


It is in Perry County.

Incredible! I am blown away by the stock. Congratulations to you and your skills (shooting, rifle building, and stock building!).

I would have never guessed it was laminated.

 

[John Klingenberg]

That stock! Just wow! You are a true artist. If I PM can we talk about what it's going to cost me for one?

 

[Jeremy Henderson]

Great craftsmanship sir! Absolutely stunning

 

[Huntz]

Pretty and she cooks.

Sweet rifle Joel, I'm just wondering if I'll have to shoot against it soon? I know a place that's having a 25 steel plate match this Saturday in WV.

 

[Dosh]

Superior accuracy and superior stock/action.

There are some darn good looking rifles out there, but what you do with your stocks Sir is amazing. They are plain and simply a work of Art.

This pretty girl has never been shot past 100 yds... until today.
Chambered in 6 Creedmoor.
I had developed a good load with the 105 Berger Hybrid, but I didn't want to dip into my stash. So I dug out some really old Berger 105's that didn't have a BC or model designation on the box... packed 80 in a box. Yep, old.. They measured .0030" shorter than the 105 Hybrid. So I used the same charge weight and just set the bullet .010" off like I do with the Hybrids. Shot a decent .250" group at 100, so I decided to True the rifle out to 1K to calculate the BC.
I used the BC of the Hybrid and figured I would tweak from there. Lol, pretty sure I nailed it.
Ran one shot per plate.

Great shooting! I would say you have the perfect load for that rifle! Need to find some more old 105s!

Also, that is one of the most beautiful rifles I have seen in a long time. Great job on that build...seeing that is giving me the itch to get a build going.

Excellent looking craftsmanship, and mighty fine shooting!
