My shoe string 7mm STW build

[PBR driver]

I built this on a shoe string budget while in school.
The components used were my Rem 700 action, a new take off 26" SS 7mm Rem Mag BBL. which I rechambered to 7mm STW.
Used the muzzle brake that was on my own burned out 7mm STW BBL ( close to 1500 rounds) with 1/2"-24 tpi.
The stock was a blemish fiberglass that is now pillar and glass beded to my LOP.
The stock was textured and then covered in a Matte Black Durakote.
Rings are Burris Signature Rings
Scope is a Burris FF2 6.5-20x50mm
All metal was covered in Carbide Grey Cerakote.
Altogether I have about $200.00 invested.
All done on a starving students budget.
Had a lot of fun and learned a lot during this build.
Should be a good shooter, time will tell.gun)

Gosh...I spent $200 on just my trigger. I have built it for less than what a custom gun costs, but it's been significantly more.

Good for you!! I want to see some small groups and blazing speed posted up shortly.

I like it! 95% of the satisfaction is in the journey. I hope she shoots good for you! Congrats.

* Update, finally took the time to put this rifle on paper.
The load listed is outside the books max loads however using a .0001" micrometer and comparing my load to a factory load they are safe in my rifle.
Fired 3 shots of fun he hood of my pickup into .436".
I would normally fire a 5 shot group but this is a hunting rifle and with the price of components I only fired 3.
If I could figure out how to insert a picture of the target fired I would.
