Great shots, looks fantastic with your mods. I agree you improved it!

Thank you!

My long range pea shooter.

C&C welcome.

Wow!!! Quite the Hot rod!
So, now what's with the holes all over that target then? Shouldn't they all be in the middle?

Thanks! 110 gr. of H-50 pushing a 300 gr. Sierra = 3000 fps. muzzle velocity. Terminal energy at 1000 yards is roughly equal to a .308 at the muzzle. This thing was made to knock over tasty critters.

I kinda' knew those holes would spur comments. That target represents an 8" 5 shot group at 1000 yards.

Getting away from photography here, but the horizontal dispersal is what's called a "weather report".

8" deserves congratulations.

110 grains of anything has to be a waker upper though.

Nice job at the range and nice piece.

Thanks Terry!

If by "waker upper" you meant recoil, this thing recoils about as viciously as a .223; it weighs 85 lbs.

85 lbs? I was expecting 20-25. Nice job on the piece.

Stand out at 1,000 yards & say that, Jake! ; D

I would take that...I would be lucky to hit the target at 1000 yards...

I'd be lucky to get that at 50 yards! I'd never heard of that rocket ship chambering, but I am familiar with a 416 Rigby. The idea of putting a little .30 spitzer in front of all that powder sounds like fun.

Nice, this is in my wheelhouse for sure. Looks like a stock that Lee Six used to make but the trigger guard area is different, also the rear but area.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for the kind words.

Yup, you certainly know your way around arcane stuff like that stock. It was indeed ordered through Six Enterprises back in 1995. Lee called it his "Shilen Big Gun Stock".

But can you guess the make & model of the action? Hint: Clanton.

- Mike

Oh yea Lee and I go way back. Used to be only two, McMillian and Lee Six. Lee's benchrest designs were better..but the stocks themselves were horrific to today's standards.
I wished the average guy could see how much work it took to get your stock to look that good!
I loved that big gun stock for varmiting. Stocked and painted hundreds of them..literally
I will post up some of my big stuff ...when I get some decent pictures,
Gary
