AusVarmint

Gents,

I had posted a pic of my new stick under the Shane's section of the Forum but at the behest of others I'll do it properly here.

This build has been a long time coming and I could not be more pleased with the finished product. Shane's reputation precedes him but even so I've been impressed with how the rifle presented aesthetically. I'm no photographer and the pictures do not do the rifle or Shane justice but here they are all the same:

















I'm loading up some ammo tonight, hoping to get to the range tomorrow to see how she shoots.

For those interested the specs on the build are:

.308 WIN
Surgeon 591 Short Action
Lilja 1:12 twist 24" bbl
McMillan A5 Stock + Adj LOP and Cheek-piece
Badger M5 DBM
USO SN3 3.2-17x44
Jewell HVR Trigger
Seekins Rings
Atlas Quick Detach Bipod
Badger FTE removable Brake + Thread Cap

Going to predominantly run 155gr Scenars.

Thanks Shane

Rath

That looks absolutely stunning!

Top rifle.I can't imagine why your happy Rath .
I bet it'll shoot as good as it looks.

Thanks Gents,

Range Report Wednesday night if things go as planned. AI, we need to lock in that shoot Macca, I'll give you a buzz when I get home from Africa as I would like to take you up on your offer too.

Once I've had her a couple of weeks I will do a full review that does justice to this build and Shane's efforts.

Cheers,
Rath

Looks good, muzzle brake looks good too, cant wait to find out how it shoots,
I like the reticle and IR.

droooooooooolllllll

nice accu shot bipod
how do you like it ?

G'day Rath,

That is certainly one very capable looking rifle and I certainly like the inscription on the muzzle break.

Regards

Sean

Thanks guys can't wait to shoot it tomorrow.

The Atlas is great, lots of flexibility in the bipod for pan and cant, also it's easy to add length or feet to the existing legs.
