[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 708591, member: 229"] Got a new camera :thumb: [attach=full]66830[/attach] [attach=full]66831[/attach] [attach=full]66832[/attach] Its changed quite a bit since I first posted it, so here is everything its got in it: - Remington 700 SPS Varmint - Broughton Barrel blank machined by GA Precision to 22" fluted with AAC SCAR-H connector - Holland Stainless .250 recoil lug - HS Precision Stock - Falcon Menace w/ML 16 Reticule - Timney Trigger adjusted to 2Lbs - Action Blueprinted, Badger Knob installed, and trigger work by Mechanical Accuracy - Harris non-swivel bench rest bipod Need to get a better sling for it and some flush-cups put in, but I'd really like to get some bottom metal for it soon. I took this rifle out last night with just enough time to shoot about 9 rounds though it (I hadn't sighted it in since I got it back from Steve). All I can say is that I was amazed. I've not been able to make good groups out of the factory barrel/action even with the HS precision stock - granted, a lot of that is my inability to shoot the rifle, but I sat down at 75yds and shot a piece of sheet metal and then adjusted and shot again. After adjusting once more I shot again and thought I missed the plate. I went over to look at it and I had probably made the smallest two-shot group I've ever made in my life. Thinking that this was a fluke, i went back and we setup an old BBQ grill down the hill at 300yds. I don't have all my holdovers quite figured out on this rifle for distances over 200yds, so I guessed at 3 full-mils in the reticule (at 16x) and my first shot didn't hit the grill. I adjusted to just a hair passed 2 mils on the second one and almost hit the logo (which is what I was aiming at). I was about 3 inches to the left and maybe an inch low. Took a few more shots and handed the rifle off to two of my buddies (one who had never shot at any distances at all) and we all hit the grill with every shot - though my shot was still the closest :hot: I gotta hand it to Steve Baldwin over at Mechanical Accuracy - he's the friggin man with a long-gun. Long-distance shooting just got a lot more fun. :patriot: [/QUOTE]
