great setup buzz!!!
Well he got most of it right. It is a standard Ti stock with the aluminum pillars. We then used steel bed for the bedding. I did not have a scale handy but I bet it shed a pound or more. Feels good and solid and as soon as he works up a load it likes it should be scary. Anyway it was a fun project and I think it came out well. Next thing ya know he will be shootin' TTSX's.............did I just say that? Buzz is in the huntin' bitness and brother, bitness is a boomin!

Very nice looking rifle. I must be the only one left that doesn't have a plastic stocked hunting rifle.

Man oh man... first it was a POS 7mag
Now it has a plastic stock and turrets? The internet sure has warped your sense of reality.
What happened to a 2-7 scope beign all you ever need? You could always get closer right?
Sweet looking rig. I'm thinking of tuning up one of my 280's MT rifles for sheep season with something very similar. Might go with dots instead of turrets though.

I went the other direction last week. Being bored, I switched my MRC/Serengeti Rifles .358 Win back into the wood stock. It's a 3-layer laminated which keeps the appearance of the great wood but adds teh stabilty of a laminated stock. Bedded by Serengeti when they did the stock. It has shot more than a few 1/4-inch groups. It has a 1 in 12 lapped barrel and shoots everything from 180s to 250s well. For a hard hunt, though, I;d switch it back to the MacMillan Edge....

Bambistew,
Come on, cut a guy a little slack will ya'...
I'm still not sold on much about that rig yet...the turrets being the biggest thing I'm not sold on. I did a tracking test with the turrets...everything seems to be working so far. I'll wring it out this spring/summer and hopefully wont find any bugs.
I still like wood better, but thought it would be wise to have one all-purpose tupperware paddle. Still cant find anything classy about a plastic stock.
