I THINK this started as a Shehane Big Dawg. It was a Jim Bauer project that I’m trying to perfect. He put the barrel block in and aluminum rails in front and bottom of stock. Ronnie Milford pulled the aluminum out, replaced with carbon fiber, added carbon fiber strip down center to increase rigidity and installed mounting points for the 2” rudder, trued it all up and shot it with clear. Thanks to Carroll Lance for the brass butt plates for adding/adjusting weight bias. Front is 6” wide with the carbon fiber wings. I ran the last 2 years with a straight 1.25” but I finally found enough time last summer to work with this Lilja barrel that I hoped to use at Rendezvous 1. It’s a 1.25x8” long shank HV contour to work with the barrel block. Jay Cutright did the barrel work with a 115FB 272 neck Dasher. NF NXS, Lapua, CCI 400, H4895 pushing VaporTrail 103’s. BAT 1.35 B with a 40MOA base they rushed to me the week before.

Is that NXS a 12 - 42x or 8 - 32x and is it a DD reticle???

Looks like a 12 to 42 with 1/8 moa adjustment....

I wish they would put Comp glass in there and I prefer the smaller dot but I’ll use it as is.

Does the new zero stop NXS 8 - 32x have better glass than the old NXS's. Why don't they put COMP glass in it.

I have no idea about the newer NXS but would guess they are the same. I would guess that when then they brought out the Competition model, they didn’t feel the need to continue to produce or upgrade an “obsolete” optic. This is purely conjecture on my part.

I NF still produces NXS, they should put the best glass in it just like the Competition.

Last weekend I started testing for Rendezvous 4.0

Headed back out tomorrow, for more testing.

Cannot wait for next June!

The VALLEY is an amazing place for sure!
