First deer taken with my new Surgeon .308 built by Robert Gradous

[Jeff3C]

I've been waiting on this rifle now for about 4 months and just got it in last Wednesday. I put it to work this weekend on a decent 11 pt at just under 400 yards. If anyone is considering building a custom rifle you need to check out Robert Gradous. His work is flawless and he got this one shooting consistently in the 1/4" range at 100 yards (5 shots). He called several times to make sure everything was correct and that I was happy with the rifle. I think I am really going to enjoy this one and can't wait to shoot it more. Here are some pics and the details of the rifle.

Surgeon RSR w/ Surgeon 20 MOA rail
Broughton 24" barrel (rem varmint contour)
HS Precision Stock
HS Precision detachable mag system
Shilen Trigger (best trigger available in my opinion)
Nightforce 2.5-10x32 NXS scope (awesome compact scope)
Nightforce Rings
Eagle stock pack

I'm shooting a 178 gr AMAX over 44.2g of Varget in a Lapua case with Fed 210m primer.

Now that's a high dollar deer rifle. Great looking buck and rifle.

SWEET! How nice it must feel to drop a deer at 400 yrds... I can't wait to do that! Congratulations on both the kill and the rifle!

That is one nice rifle.
Congrats on the deer.

That's nice! I've got a Rem700 PSS in .308 I need to do some work on. Great shooter, but it's a beast to carry around in the woods all day.
