firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted June 29, 2008 This is my first custom built to MY standards. I have a custom .270 wsm that was already built when I bought it, and I hope this one shoots 1/2 as good.. It looks better, hope it shoots as well! What it is: Remington 700 action, overhauled completly. (you all know what that means) Bell and Carlson stock tan with black spider web color, pillar and glass bedded. Barrel floated. Trigger shaped,and worked at a CLEAN 2.75-3 lbs. Talley LW's Lapped and bedded to receiver. Will sport a Zeiss 4.5-14x44 with Turrets. It is on its way to Zeiss for the turrets now. Recessed target crown #2 shilen 1/10" finished at 25 1/4" As she sits 7 lbs 6 oz .257 wby mag. Named it "El Chupacabra" The gun was put together by my gunsmith, and friend Garrett of Arizona Custom Rifle. He goes by "willie" on here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GameHauler Report post Posted June 29, 2008 Thanks Casey, Now we are going to have to hear Lark spouting off about how you could have just gone to the Sears and Roebuck catalog and just bought a JC Wigley 270 and saved about a grand and had a better gun. Oh well, I guess he needed stired up anyway. Looking good Bud, hope she is a shooter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
