Hello Steve,

What are the details of your build?

 

[steve437]

Hi Sugar
The build is a savage axis that started life as a 243. re barrelled to a 308 . ershaw heavy magnum taper. 16 1/2 inch.
boyds tactical stock. with some modifications by me to fit my smaller hands. timney trigger. Warne maxima series rings swfa 3 - 15 scope. I was looking for a steel 20 moa base but they don’t make one afaik. so we used a tps base where 2 of the holes lined up and added 2 more. right now i'm in the middle of bedding it. then it will be dura coated flat black. Would love too get it shooting before winter.

Whew. That will definitely wake them up. I hunt with a 20" 30-06. I get picked on over the report of that rifle. But I love it.

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

greg taylor i live about in the middle of danville milton and Washingtonville. Extra points if any of you have heard of the last one. My oldest daughter when she was in 1 st grade the teacher asked if anyone knew who the first president was. She raised her hand and proudly said George Washingtonville.

chuck hunter i have never been to that gun club but it is close. whats the furthest range they have there. i dont know of any local ranges that go past 200 yards. There is williamsport but thats like going from a soap box derby to the indy 500 lol.

i forgot to mention the anti cant. lets see if this works.

Sorry for my absence. my friends father passed away I have been with my friend.

snert yes you are in hostile territory lol. really though i think NY gets a bad rap from the city there are millions of great people in the outskirts. a good friend of mine while i was in the military ( navy seabee ) was from NY state. any way ill be able to get more active on here soon.

thanks again everyone.
