Gonna have to get into archery at this rate.
Just finishing up the 300 PRC. Getting to be time for the range and some load development. Hard to tell from the photo, but yes the scope just clears the forearm.Gonna try a 300 PRC this year. Built on a Savage long action with a Shilen SS Select barrel and XLR HD chassis. Just need to sandblast(coal slag) the barrel action, paint and assemble. I'll post a few photos when it completed.
Keep her in the game and you'll have it made!I'll continue to shoot my 260AI "rat rod" and hopefully have the new BR maple stock done this year as well as finishing my 6br build by this spring. The 6br is for the other half because I've wanted a 6br for a while now, lol! Its getting a custom painted stock as well. Her favorite colors are Tiffany blue and coral pink, so she's getting a Tiffany blue stock because I just couldn't show up to the line with a pink rifle, hahaha!
Thats the plan! Next I'm going to have to get her to buy her own powder, primers and bullets, lol! My ultimate end goal is to have her be my competition shooting partner and eventually hunting. I have 22LR rifles to her going for now, but thought a 6br would be a good lower recoil choice for accurate centerfire and longer distance stuff. Not going to start her off with rifles fitted to me and more recoil than what she may consider comfortable with no recoil pad, so only option is to build one to suit her. I already had a 12.5" LOP 40xbr stock in inventory. Got a R700 with CBI remage, Shilen trigger, Sightron 36x scope. Should be a good little rifle. Will probably get her a BE front rest and paint it to match.Keep her in the game and you'll have it made!
You'll never see anybody wearing ear protection at the archery range, not even indoors. Anybody interested in it might consider 'field archery', which is sort of like golf. 14 targets distributed through an outdoor course, at different distances, and you shoot 4 arrows at each one. Up to four people in a group, at least that's how it was when I was competing.Gonna have to get into archery at this rate.
