Spending so much time at home these days projects are getting caught up. I'll soon run out of parts if I'm not careful. The first 300 Warlock is working out very well and will be used more as a hunting rifle. Have been waiting to build this one for playing.
The rifle I've been planning for a long time. Kelbley action, Bartlein 1:9 Sendero contour 28" barrel with fluting and Piercision brake, XLR Evolution chassis, AICS 5 round magazine, Zeiss rings with integrated level and Triggertech diamond trigger. Never had a FFP scope in my life and didn't really see the need, however I did want to try one. Rather than spend a couple grand on a scope I may not like I bought a Bushnell Forge 3-18 on sale for $499. I'm kinda liking the FFP thing and I'm very impressed with the scope for the money. I REALLY like the trigger. At 14.5 lbs with a brake the rifle is like shooting a 223. Lots of room for improvement on the paint job but I wanted to test drive it.
First three shots were Hammer 196 grain (got lucky bore sighting). 2nd three were Hornady 225 ELDM's. Shot a third group with Hammer 199's that strung diagonally but all toughing. Very pleased so far.
