New Varmint Gun!
I have had my new gun for a while now and have tried to get some decent photo's! It is harder than I thought!
Lets just say I am lucky for digital cameras cause I would have used ALOT of film
So here are the specs,
Stiller Diamond Back Action
Lilja Barrel 1in12 twist
Jewel Trigger
Greg West Stock
Vortex Viper Scope 6.5x20x44
6x47Lapua
Built by Shane Clancy who did a amazing job!!
My first Full Custom!
Am I happy? You bet I am!
Have shown a few mates and one response I got was that it looks like a work of art!!
This coming from someone who does not shoot! I have to agree.
Still doing load development at the moment but things are looking promising.
Three quarter inch group at 100 yards, so getting there.

Beaut!
You gotta do 500m fly, if you dont already
2209 seems to be what the fly shhoters are using with heavy pills

Dave it was built as a BR quality varmint gun so the fluffy's will not be forgotten!
67grain copperheads should do the job nicely!

Re: New Varmint Gun!
Nah mate the 1in12 twist barrel will only stabilise projectiles to about 80 grains.
The 67gr Copperheads seem to be working well so I will stick with them!
Ken is a nice bloke and makes great bullets!
Ken is making a 103grain for the 6mm now and they are working really well from all accounts!
Ask AI he was going to try them in his awesomely awesome Dasher

Re: New Varmint Gun!
Glen congratulations that looks great and will shoot even better that is one cooooool varmint rifle,you will soon think that the 3/4 inch groups are terrible and the rest of your rifles are about to get verrrrrrrrry lonely and feel unloved.

Re: New Varmint Gun!
I know what you mean Chris! I read here somewhere
"once you use a custom gun you will fell dirty using anything else"
I really understand that now!
That is why Shane is building a custom 20PPC for me now

Re: New Varmint Gun!
Oh yeah ! extremely nice looking rifle. The 6x47 should fairly splatter the bunnies !
