rifle
Sorry to hear the untimely death of your father but i'm sure he would have been very, very proud of what you accomplished. A very nice rifle and caliber indeed.

Thank you JINGWEED, I appreciate it...
I'm glad I decided to go with my 300 Jr. cartridge, instead of my original plans to build a 30-284. Every 300 Jr. rifle that I have built has had a 30" barrel and the most accurate loads, without exception, come from using IMR-4350 powder, regardless of bullet weight.... DAVID |

Looks a lot like my f-class gun but it has a brake. What does it weigh. The case reminds me of a 30 Gibbs.

This gun weighs exactly 19 lbs...
I have never had my hands on a 30 Gibbs, so I don't know what differences there are between the two... I finally got a chance to do a load development and a little accuracy testing with my new rig. I'll post targets later on this evening.... DAVID |

Does that count the bipod? Looking forward to the range report.

No, I did not weigh the gun with bi-pod attached...

Thanks guys...
I had to shoot the 1,000 yd. and 1,200 yd. targets at first light, so wind are mirage were almost non existent. Otherwise, I seriously doubt I could have shot groups that were even double that size.... |
