Chacon bolt action turbo

[Mt.Boy]

Just wondering if anyone here is shooting a Joe chacon turbo bolt action. If so looking for any pros and cons on the rifle thanks

 

[Mt.Boy]

Anyone

I've got a turbo v1, Shilen R0 barrel at 24" with a JNL tuner in one of his custom stocks. Shoots very good, very happy with it . Best I've shot with it is a 199 in ABRA outlaw heavy class, honestly believe the point I dropped was a bad round of ammo as the bolt resistance felt "funny" when I closed the bolt. Didn't have enough sense to shoot another sighter at that moment. Scope pictured was replaced with a SIII 45xED

ETA:
If you zoom in on the action, you can see the inscription of 2022 ABRA Nationals

Joe built this rifle as the "grand prize" for the 2022 ABRA Nationals held at Kettlefoot near Bristol TN/VA. I was/am the lucky ticket holder. I know several people that have had Joe build a rifle for them, all are good looking guns, and shoot very well. Mine shoots better than the owner, but I enjoy trying to match it's ability.

Joe sent the rifle to be tested for ammo after he finished the build, but before the Nationals, and a half of a case of the best ammo tested was included in the overall prize. I shot the 199 with this ammo. I also bought a full case of the 2nd best testing ammo, so I just need to improve my "skill set'.

Below is the target I shot soon after I got over the shock of winning the grand prize. I used the ammo that was included, no adjustments, just set the gun in the rest shown above and got these results.

That’s where I’ve seen that rifle. I bought two tickets for it. I really like that color scheme. I thought I was the only one who put $20 rings on top of a $4,000 rifle.

I've had numerous compliments on the appearance of the gun every time I pull it out of the travel case. Joe does quality work, I don't think anyone would be disappointed with one of his builds.

I bought 4 tickets, so I guess I got a good return on my investment so to speak.

I thought he only built semiautomatic rifles? He is known in most circles for his 10-22s
