Nice rifle but looks naked without scope on it

I shot this group tonight. .144" CTC Nate builds a hell of a rifle and this is one hell of a cartridge!

Here is a pic of the gun with a leupold mark 4 on it.

So, has your dad gotten to shoot that rifle much ??

 

[barnesuser28]

Not really... Lol. We were doing some shooting at 1515 yards and he shot a few and they went right where they should have. Now i just have to get drops figured out to around 1500 yards and we will be ready for hunting season! Easier said than done.

I am going to order some 8" AR500 steel plates and set them up at 660 yards and work on cold bore shots.

Thanks! Aren't you building a 30/375 S.I.?

Yes, in fact I am. The schedule for completion of my rifle is gunsmith-based at this time. Simply waiting on the gunsmith to deliver.

Cool, mind posting your parts list? I would love to hear what you have planned. What bullet are you planning to shoot?
