Bout time! J/K. I know its been a while coming for you, I'm sure you are excited. When are you going to go stretch the legs out on that bad boy with us? Also, pretty awesome you went with the Razor, last time we talked you were thinking PST. I'm sure you will be glad you waited a bit longer for that glass. The Razor is no joke! What rings are those?

Waited almost 3 months for the stock, and now it is finally done (after a stripped allen bolt on the stock, and a huge headache there). I had to build one like Lief's that I can shoot a 1/2 MOA 10-shot group. Now I have a small caliber, accurate bolt thumper of my own!
Specs:
Savage Axis .223 Barreled action
Rifle Basix Trigger @ 1.7 lbs (as light as I could get it without bolt slam discharge)
Blackhawk 9-13 Bipod with swivel/cant.
EGW 20 MOA Pica Base
Vortex medium tactical rings
Boyds Featherweight thumbhole stock
Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 MIL/MIL FFP Scope

GREAT glass for the price, I absolutely love mine, the only drawback is the weight of that big mamma jamma. The new Gen II's that are supposed to be released soon look great too, but they are also pretty heavy. Not much of a concern though unless you're packing it around a lot.
Vortex makes some of their rings in house, and their higher end rings are made by Seekins. Cool deal. Shoot me your cell in a PM so I can let you know the next time we are heading out. You can try some of my 178 AMAXs too if you like.

My "Even longer range" gun is done, for now. Eventually it will go in an AX chassis, and have a SPUHR mount just like my 308, but for now it will be WAY more than good enough.
Specs:
Remington XCR Long Range in 300WM w/ 1:10 5R fluted heavy barrel
Bell & Carlson Mini-Chasis full length aluminum v-bed stock
Harris LM-S 9-13 Swivel/Cant leg notch Bipod
Timney 510 Trigger at 1lbs
Warne Steel 20MOA Base
Surgeon 34mm Rings with bubble level
Schmidt-Bender PMII 5-25x56 Scope with P4 fein reticle
KRG bolt on knob extender.
The loads I am working on for this will be supersonic still at 2000yds.... 208gr .648bc bullet over ~80-81grs Retumbo at 2900-2950fps.
