  2. Nice rifle. As soon McMillan can catch up, I'm getting one of their stocks.

    Gorgeous rifle bro, was my initial choice but out of price range. Very impressive combination here. I like how vortex and browning go so well together.

    Your rifle is the illegitimate love child that results from when firepower mates with awesomeness! You have done well. The back of the stock looks like the one on my M-40A3 (it had a MacTac A5).
    Fantastic looking rifle! If you don't mind me asking, what is she chambered in?

    Shawn does that bipod pivot? I am looking for a couple of bipods for my ARs and possible for my Browning Composite 30-06. I have had one that pivot and dont really care for it. To light of a pivot. If it doesnt pivot what brand is that if you dont mind me asking.

    Thanks

    Not to butt in here, but I use a Harris that does not pivot, and love it! I also have a Caldwell (pictured below) on two other rifles, and they honestly look the same. None of my bipods pivot, and the Caldwell is much less expensive (around $39.99). All of my bipods are 6-9".

    Love the razor scope with the zero stop. First hunt out picked off a Hog at 495 yards with just using the Vortex LRBC (Long Range Ballistic Calculator). Clicked up and meat down.

    Yes it cants and pivots +/- 30 degrees, it's a Atlas PRS

    Yes I went back and forth Harris and Atlas, I wanted to be able to pivot after I have preloaded for my hunting applications. 6-9. My AR has Harris...Atlas is a nice piece of equipment but you pay for it.

    Sorry for all the slow replays guys it's summer and we tend to stay busy. Since April I've hunted this rifle a few times and they more I get to know this rifle the deeper in love I become with it. I will say though, this thing is built and feels solid, the way a rifle should. Fit and finish is great, and it outperforms. I also spent time to get the barrel broken in before I even went on the first hunt and dialed in the scope, Proceedure below..I know it's up for debate but I feel I couldn't hurt. Followed Noslers break in sequence, copied below. I get a lot of questions and looks at the range..def one that I'll be handing down to my kids someday.


    The Procedure:

    Following is the necessarily barrel break-in procedure to ensure reliable and consistent accuracy from your new rifle:

    1. Shoot one round and then clean
      Do this for the first ten rounds.
    2. Shoot three rounds and then clean
      Do this for the next fifteen rounds.
    3. Shoot five rounds and then clean
      then shoot a fouler round
      and then shoot three rounds for accuracy.

    NOTE: Allow barrel to cool to ambient temperature before shooting each series of break-in rounds to avoid unnecessary throat erosion. Do not shoot your rifle in succession until the barrel is too hot to touch with a bare hand.

    When cleaning, use these simple instructions:

    DO:

    Use a quality one-piece cleaning rod.
    Use a bore guide.
    Clean from chamber end only.

    1. Clean powder residue from bore using a solvent
    2. Follow with a copper remover to remove copper fouling.
    3. Follow with a second group of patches coated in solvent, then finish with dry patches until all solvent is removed from the bore.
    4. Finish with a patch lightly coated with gun oil

    DO NOT:

    Use a stainless Steel bore brush.

    Leave strong ammonia cleaning products in your bore for extended periods of time – additionally, do not allow solvents to contact stock as it can remove the finish.

    Once the barrel is broken in, remember to clean the barrel after approximately every 20 to 40 rounds to keep accuracy optimal. A dirty bore is a primary cause of poor accuracy.
