Just received this one from Shane Clancy . Not great photos but was pressed for time .
Stiller Predator with Tac 30 bolthandle and Stiller picatinny rail .
26" Lilja Heavy varmint profile barrel . 1 in 9 inch twist chambered for .243 Ackley Improved with a no - turn 0.276 neck .
All metalwork finished in black duracoat .
Wild Dog SA TA1 stock , bedded by Shane . Very impressive .
Remington 700 bottom metal and magazine .
Jewell HVR trigger with bottom safety set to 8 ounces .
Warne Maxima medium rings .
Leupold VX111 6.5 - 20 x 50 LRT with varmint hunter reticle and Butler Creek covers.
Old model Harris 9 - 13" bipod .
Sighted her in but not blooded yet . Know what to expect though as this is my second rifle in this calibre .
For all you .204 lovers . I have to say that there is absolutely no problem spotting your shots when using 55gn ballistic tips at over 4000 FPS out of this thing . It's all about barrel weight .
Will probably end up shooting the 87gn V Max at around 3350 FPS if I can make it work . Last rifle didn't shoot it that well (under 3/4 MOA though) but it sure did splatter stuff .

very slick looking rig.

What sort of accuracy have you seen out of it so far?

Mr Clancy hasn't let us down again. Great combination of parts their Bushchook which have resulted in a rig I wouldnt mind owning. So if you find out it only shoots .5 MOA instead of .25 MOA I will happily take it off your hands :lol:

Great Stuff Image

bimbo ,
Only has 9 shots thru it so far . Running in the barrel . Fire one and clean so have hurriedly sighted in at 250m but not fired a group .
Having to fireform new cases as the once fired Lapua brass that I had from my last rifle won't chamber even after running through a Redding body sizing die . New chamber is much tighter around the casehead than the old one (Tobler chambered) .
