coues hunter Report post Posted May 14, 2020 Pierce titanium action, 25" #4 Lilja 3 groove stainless, McMillan HTG with molded in camo and texture, timney trigger, Talley lightweight rings, bdl floorplate. Already sold the 50mm Nightforce nxs but added the pictures for size reference. Bipod not included. Forester competition dies included, 3x fired Lapua brass, 7 boxes of 130 Berger HVLDS, one box of 140 Berger HVLDS. John at Pierce threaded and chambered the barrel. They also did the cerakoting. The McMillan stock was a full inlet with aluminum pillars. I did the final bedding with full action contact and first inch of chamber. I did all load development and always kept the barrel cool and loads mild. What I settled on was 40.1 gr h4350 and the 130gr Berger hunting VLD. Load averages 2870 fps and can shoot 5 shot groups into .5 moa at 600 yards. Built it to be a lightweight and rock solid mid range deer rifle. Took a 130" buck with it in 2018, watched my dad dump a last day bull with it at 685 yards, killed a bear at 19 yards and probably a dozen other bucks over the years by myself or family members. Sister and brother in law took both their first bucks, one after the other, with single perfect shots each. Have so much history with this gun it's hard to put up for sale but have to. If you want a lightweight, mild recoiling, turn key custom gun that will not let you down, here's one to consider. Weight is 7.2 lbs. $2900 shipped. Update $2800 shipped 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds weird but two years earlier he was in the 160" neighborhood. Here's a pic since nobody would believe that otherwise. Definitely worth it's own write up. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
