    So scored this off von tempsky. Rem700 long range XCR. With the 215 berger @2920fps she's sure rings the gongs. Managed first round hits out too 600 after a quick sight in. Pretty stoked.

    Gun Porn, show off your new toys

    @GWH how long is the barrel? Have you fired it yet?
    What projectiles will you use?

    @Danny,

    Its 22.5", Havnt fired it yet in the new stock, but it shot very well in the bedded factory synthetic stock. It shoots the 150gr NBT extremely well at 2970fps. Have only fired one ladder test with the 162 Amax so far, got it up over 2900 fps, but the 150 NBT was just so accurate i will likely stay with that.

    I purchased the rifle from Kimjon, he exclusively used the 150 NBT for near and far apparently and had good success with it, so cant see any reason to change from it.

    Im hoping to get out and recheck the zero in the new stock tomorrow, then will stretch it out to validate drops shooting gongs on the weekend, then it will have a date with a Sika up the Kawekas very shortly.

    900 for rifle, could a got a bunch of other riffles. chose this, i like the magazine, its threaded already. i like the stocks- yes i LIKE the stocks, they're a handle after all.trigger is actually good. the recoil pad is good. comes with a rail . there is not much i don't like, actually i cannot list anything, for my purposes and use.(maybe woulda liked stainless) . ive had two americans before, 308 and 243, both shot as good if not better than the other rifles I've had.
    Love these shooters.

    oh and theyre really light.

    NHM90 converted to E-cat, made the rear stock out of walnut (slightly larger than China) threw an SKS buttplate on it, grip is airsoft AK74 with some easy mods. Ncstar Ak74 muzzlebrake is surprisingly effective. Rear sling swivel is part braz Mauser/m305 bits.

    1951 Mod 70 Winny in 30-06. Barrel is a bit knackered so will be a future project. Maybe change it to a 9.3x62...
