Damn Matt.... that boom stick of yours is beautiful [Beer]
Thanks Mike, it took almost 9 months to get it to this point. I didn't know if I would ever get it together...lol
I guess I'll play.....
I just assembled this tonight. It's a hunting rig for my Father-In-Law for when he moves back to the US in a couple years. He said he wants to shoot factory ammo at white tail deer about 200yds away, with an emphasis on being light weight with low recoil. This is chambered in .243. It cleanly took white tails when I was a kid, so unless he shoots a bionic deer, this should be fine.
I'm really glad to have built this for him. His health has declined in the last couple years, so this gun has a little bit of meaning to it, and it will have a lot more meaning when I'm able to hand this to him.

Cool, Belly. Are you going to make the man sight down that little rail, or will he get a scope?
He gets the rail. I get the scope.
im probably going to put the mk4 Leupy on it that I can't get sold. (It's in the for sale section.....shameless plug)
Just had the front rifle chambered, 7SAUM. Same components as the back rifle, 6x47, have 900rds on it. Spent some time fussing with the triggers to get them very similar. Both rifles have the same feel, the one will have a tad bigger bark. Chamber was cut/throated for the Berger 180 Hybrids in a short action, jumping them about .020. at mag OAL. Hope to get a load/dope figured out in time to shoot the Magnum match in Raton next month. Gunsmith Jon Beanland chambered both rifles, can't say enough good things about him as well as AJ Goddard (Bighorn Arms).
Bighorn short action
Brux heavy palma barrel 27" (Bartlein on the 6x47)
CG Extreme two stage trigger
Badger FTE
Premier 5-25
