[QUOTE=coreydelong;2220076] We placed 2nd and 3rd out of 10 shooters in our class using the same rifle on back to back on three 20 shot strings. Barrel was still hot when we got back to the hotel. QUOTE]

Good job! Nice shooting

Me on range day

Where do y'all shoot at? Those benches look nice, I'm sure I've never been there. Usually I go to our property in Sparta, but from time to time I go to Charlie Elliot or the Dekalb county police range.

Too bad you couldn't find a LARGE scope...

Sent from my HTCEVOV4G using Tapatalk

It's a NightForce NXS 12-42x56mm, NF2 reticle, 1/8 MOA turrets, with a 3" light shade screwed on the end. Same scope as on my custom 6.5x284. 20 MOA base on the .308 and the action on my custom rig has a 20 MOA Davidson rail machined into the Panda F Class action.

Just the rifle parts and custom work ran about $4500 less scope. I have 3 barrels laying around for it and I'm getting ready to do a straight .284 build for myself since my son seems to have taken over my 6.5x284 at matches.

Photo bomb of the assembly....

Last known Robertson's glass stock to be made before they closed up shop. Alex Sittman of Master Class stocks did all the stock and bedding work. Bare stock before custom work...



Devcon bedded stock with 3 aluminum pillars...



Thumb screw cheek riser and 3 way adjustable butt pad....



Bare Panda F Class action with fluted bolt...



Panda F Class action installed...



Jewell trigger set to 5oz. Just blow on it!!



Custom trigger guard....



31" custom Broughton Barrel installed...



Finished product with a little flare. Vipers Den custom front rest at 35# ($1388- all aluminum, stainless and brass) with a custom Protektor cordura rear bag....

We shoot at a private range down in Macon county. It's just down the road from our hunting club. We used to shoot at a range near Dublin, but this one is muuuuuch closer to where we live. It's a really well maintained range, and they have competitions nearly every weekend.

Last match I attended. Tought to only drop one point and end up in 2nd (two years in a row!!)....



Next match is a Regional match at the end of February (Orange Blossom Regional) in Palm Bay, FL. 70 some competitors last year and I placed 5th behind only State, National or World Champion shooters. My goal this year is to win a regional match.... high aspirations for someone who has not shot a match since November 2013.....

Playing with the .308 at 1000yds.....

Is that a chamber plug in your gun?


I like my Dubstep to go Wop Wop Wop Wop

Yep..

The photographer doesn't like standing in front of the hot end of a barrel with a closed bolt

We were just sighting in and putting in our "come-ups" going from 600yds to 1000yds.

Haha that's funny. For the sake of the photo maybe he'd be ok with a snap-cap in the chamber instead?

That .308 was basically a factory rifle..... R700, 26" Varmint barrel and stock action were used as a donor.... new for $500.

B&C Medalist stock with pillar bedding, cheekpiece riser and adjustable butt pad for $400 from Stocky's Stocks. Jewell trigger set to 6oz, NightForce 20MOA Piccatany rail, Harris Bi-pod and the NF NXS scope. Less scope the project was about $1200.

Every .308 I have owned loves to run 185g Bergers right on the lands with 44.0g of Varget or IMR-4064.

I am in the process of getting rid of any optic that is battery operated.
Call it my paranoia but I would rather have non reliant optics.
Sad part is every rifle I have is either a red dot OR illuminated reticle.

Yea, I want to get the Trijicon ACOG, but I don't want to shell out $900 on an optic. I enjoy my $250 Primary Arms with a 2.5x magnification that's powered by one of those large, flat circle batteries
