338 RUM "Sportical"

Figured I would post a little info on one of my projects. I have gotten a lot of great info from this site, for this I thank you.
This spring I pickup a Remmy 700 BDL Embellished in 338 RUM NIB for $650. I have been itchin for an 338 edge but at this price I couldn't pass it up. I skim bedded it in to a B&C A-2 messaged the trigger to 2 1/2#, mounted a EGW mount and SS rings.
Then a little load development and decided it needed a brake ;D. I sent the rifle to Kevin Cram at Montour County Rifles. Kevin installed a Muscle Brake, tact. bolt knob and dura coated it grey wolf. Kevin also sold me a Sightron S-III 6-24LRMD for a fair price.
The rifle turned out great, I was thinking the grey wolf was a little light colored but it's growing on me.
It could look like turd :o because it's shooting great.

Here's a couple of 100 yrd groups while doing some load development. 4 shot groups, H-1000, rem 9 1/2m, Nosler 225gr Accu-Bonds seated to magazine length. Just development, but showing great promise for me. I got one group at 300 before the wind got whipping. It's promising too at 1.850 C2C.
