Build #2

[dakor]

I built a 6.5-284 for my cousin and it is all finished except the cerakoting. The specs are a rem 700 Long action and I faced the action, cleaned up the threads, polished the locking lug area, and lapped the lugs. It has a Brux 6.5 8.5 twist #3 barrel and a Bell & Carlson stock that I bedded with Devcon.

Indicating the Action.

Faced Action.

Here is the action with the threads cleaned up, and Lug area polished.

I made a video of some of the work I did if anyone wants to check it out.

Here are first 3 shots out of the rifle and the range is 100 yards.

I shot tonight and here are the results. These are shots 7,8,9 out of the gun.

I cleaned the rifle and shot this 3 shot group and the first shot was with the clean barrel. These are shots 10,11, and 12.

It is going to be awhile for the cerakoting to take place because I am waiting on some swatches to try and match the red in this stock. Here is what the rifle looks like right now.

Dang Kory, you can see a marked improvement in your machining technique... Awesome Job there Sunshine, for being only #2!!!!!!

Time to upgrade to some better shooting bags tho.... Those are butt ugly..... :
Thanks for sharing and I look forwards to seeing more great things come from "Up North"...

Hey now those things are older than me and were given to me by my dad. I was not going to lay my good leather ones out on the wet ground I know that. Thanks Rod.
