Been waiting 9 months to get this weapon in hand. Vital stats are, M.O.A. maximum in 6.5 x 47 lapua, 16 inch barrel including the muzzle brake, Vortex Viper 6.5 x 20 x44 scope in burris z rings, 20 moa base from Rich Mertz at MOA, and wide benchrest forend with aluminium insert, and one custom thumbrest grip carved by me. Here is the first groups that I shot in load dev.

I will use it for woodchucks,coyotes, deer, steel and paper targets using a variety of loads with 95 grain V-max's up to bullets in the 120 and 130 class. Also pictured is my Striker 516 in .308win.

Shooting a rifle scope on a pistol takes a bit of getting use to. What you do is aquire your target with your eye up at normal distance then slowly pull your head back a couple more inchs. The gun weighs almost 7 lbs. so that combined with the muzzle brake there is no muzzle jump at all and the gun moves straight back about 2 inchs. When I shoot my eye is back about 4.5 inches. The more I shoot it the more I figure out how tight I need to hold it. The more relaxed I keep my grip the more consistent the shots are. Heres another target too.
