Zack @ Old Dominion Custom Rifles is killin it!!

[spike-55]

Well its no secret that we have a strong working relationship, he's also my gunsmith. Last year I sent him 2 rifles to work on.
I was almost embarrassed to send him my Ruger American for a fresh barrel and new Boyd's Pro Varmint stock.
Following Zacks advice we ditched the barrel nut and went to a shouldered barrel 1n8 Hawk Hill.
Today I was blowing out 50 pieces of Norma brass on steel just plinking, and took another 19 rounds of match ammo I had left over from December's club shoot.
5shots @100 yards 123 scenar AA2700View attachment 1321362
I also took my 6.5-284 built on a Remington LA, Brux barrel, Boyds thumb hole stock. I was doing a lil bit of load work with Norma brass that was very comparable to my lapua brass in weight and volume.View attachment 1321363
4 shots @300 yards RL22, WLRM 136 Scenar L Norma brass. This load is .1 less than my Lapua brass load everything else being the same.
Now that dog'll hunt!!

But that's not all...
I've been busting Zack's ball'z for a year that I can't get out of the .1's.
Well I guess I wasn't doing it right.
Same brass, powder, and bullet, but did a primer swap and ran another charge weight test.
Bam!! And just like that I shot my smallest group ever!!!
3 shots @ 100, I know what I'll be testing at 300 next range trip.

@WSMNUT thanks again brother for building 2 great shooter's out of a ratty ol Remington and a POS Ruger!!
I'd also like to thank @Hntndad Kevin for his pillar and bedding work, and my friend @sdeal5 for the Norma brass.
I'm so looking forward to getting mama's 6br finished, because if there's 1 thing I know....
Old Dominion Custom Rifles HAMMER!!

Hey Bill, did you notice my rig ain't painted? Lol

Doctor's wife always dies first, plumbers sink always drips.. and on and on.

 

[WSMNUT]

Since you are a Mopar guy I think we need to see Plum Crazy with some black lines somewhere.

I’m going to go a little crazy on my next paint job Brett does for me and not “just paint it red”

I think I’ll have him match the color of my Chevelle and paint it Marina Blue Poly just because he is a Mopar guy

Ow! All that bodywork talent and no time for your baby?
Let me guess: Your wifey’s car gets a new paint job every year and looks perfect?

Nope its got a dent in the right quarter panel.

I love blue it's probably my favorite color.
Just don't send me a stock and tell me its for a 6GT, my mind is made up it's getting Voodoo Violet candy with hot pink marble done in The Alex Wheeler method.
FWIW I owned a 71 Chevelle that I painted in blue.
I wound up selling the paint job and gave the car away so to speak.
Then I bought a VW bus. Lol

Said the man with a 6.5 Creedmoor

 

[Bc'z]

Zac is a great guy. Give him a shot if you need some work done for sure

Your pretty solid in my book too!!
It was you that got me started on this stock painting venture. Who'd a thunk it would have blossomed into what its become.
Thanks brother!!

 

[Ranger188]

The man can paint and shoot too.
You like those Lapua bullets.
Nice load work up.
Wait till the wife get's her's and puts a whooping on you.

 

[BlueWater]

Hey, you missed? Whassup widdat?

Got to love a rifle that's dead nuts accurate.

Had a Rem 700 SPS Varmint .243 that shot like that, 15yrs ago. Same raggedy hole at 100yds, often at 200yds. Factory action and barrel, Jewell trigger, custom stock. Was hard to miss with that thing.

 

[1shot]

Accurate rifles are no better than the driver. Nice shooting Brett!

[boltfluter]

Great shooting Brett! Hard to blame the rifle when you miss. I still have personal bolts of mine, that are still not fluted! Lol

Paul

 

[RiflePainter]

Great shooting my friend! Zack builds some amazing rifles!

Thanks brother!!

Glad to see what youve made of it!

 

[nmkid]

Ho Hum another accurate rifle from Zack. He's done 4 for me! Right now he has my nephew's action for a new barrel in 270 WSM. I'm pretty sure it will also be a shooter. My next one from Zack will be a 243 AI.

 

[Tparrish]

Nice rig, good shooting.

 

[JFrank]

Took ya long enough!

He’s been too busy painting stocks to be shooting. He just received another stock yesterday to paint and another on the way after the weekend.

If you don’t have one of his paint jobs yet then stop what you’re doing, strip the gun down and send it to him. You will not be disappointed

 

[Ranger188]

Brett, did you shoot that group before or after a sip of rye?
