Cell4soul Report post Posted May 2, 2017 So my buddy that is building the rifle took it out this morning to test fire the rifle before I pick it up. Keep in mind there has been no bedding of the action in the stock, the stock has only been opened up enough to fit the barreled action. He is shooting crappy factory Remington 140 grain Core Lokt ammo. The first 3 shot group out of the rifle is under 1/2". Here is a pic of the group (crappy pictures...Kevin can build a rifle, but can't take a picture): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cell4soul Report post Posted May 15, 2017 The rifle is in my possession and I just received the HS Precision Stock. The stock needs to be opened up a little for the recoil lug and barrel channel and I would like to have the action bedded. Does anyone know where I can have this work done where it won't take months to get the rifle back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cell4soul Report post Posted May 27, 2017 I want to give a shout out to Brad at Phoenix Custom Rifles. He worked through some issues with the HS Precision Stock and this build being on a Model 7 action using short mags. Short mags are known for feeding issues and it doesn't help this was on a Model 7 action. He was extremely informative during the bedding process. It shows that he truly cares about the end result of the rifles he works on. PCR will definitely be getting my business on a future build. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
