Yep nice looking rifle, what bullet weight do you plan on running? Target or hunting rig?

It's a 10 twist. I was able to shoot it alittle this fall before the weather turned. I am using 80gr fb bergers over 47.8gr of H414

If you have enough freebore, try Randy's 95 grain flat base. They are lasers!

I've also shot a bunch of 90 grain Berger boat tail targets. Very forgiving and easy to tune bullet. Very frequent winning bullet in the 6 BR at our winter varmint league.
