Nice rig Buzz. What barrel length did you finish at?

Is the speedlock and firing pin assembly for weight savings only or does it function better? What is the weight savings?

 

[BuzzH]

24 inch barrel

The speedlock, both weight savings andbetter lock time, better spring, pin etc.

Will that rifle be used to gun down a Colorado Mule Deer this fall?

 

[Oak]

Sweet looking rifle! Shoots well, too, I see.

 

[noharleyyet]

Nice rifle...

 

[dustinf]

Sweet piece.

 

[belly-deep]

Nice gun.

The only thing wrong with it is its not a .260

 

[bjtc_brian]

Nice rifle and great shooting! It sure is nice when they are not picky!!!

 

[elkantlers]

Good looking gun and it looks like it is a shooter. If you don't mind, What does a setup like that cost to build? Did you do the build yourself?

I'm curious myself! What do you charge? That is a sweet rig. Kind of reminds me of Critters 7 wsm.

Very, very nice Buzz. Why not the CDS? mtmuley

 

[Spitz]

I like it! I'm sure you'll put it to good use!

 

[Big Fin]

Given I just explained my poor handyman skills over on the other thread, I will have to leave the talent to build beautiful rifles to guys like you. Looks sweet.

 

[stillkickin]

Awesome Buzz! Hope it treats you well this fall, will be looking forward to the photos.

 

[AZ402]

I like it!

 

[havgunwilltravel]

Good looking bang stick and certainly holding the bullets nice and tight. I'll take accuracy over looks any day, but i think you have them both in that weapon.
Look forward to seeing a few notches getting carved onto the stock..

Excellent groups, and sweet looking rifle. I'm jealous of your consistency. My savage 7mm is so picky, first 5 test loads = 1.5moa, 2moa, 2moa, 2.5MOA! then finally 0.62moa.

Slick looking shooter you built yourself.
