**WARNING**
This post doesn't have any good info. I just want to talk about my new baby

I been working on a "Target/Sniper" rifle and finally got to shoot it last week.

It started out life as a stainless steel Remington 700 Sendero in .300WinMag but you wouldn't recognize it as one now.

I put an H-S Precision vertical grip stock & a VIAS muzzle break on it. It's had the bore polished and been cryo'd. The scope is a Leupold Vari-X III 6.5x20,50mm w/ mildots mounted with Badger Ordanace rings & a tapered base.

The rifle has been treated so everything is black.

So how did it shoot?...

After breaking in the barrel I was averaging .5 to 3/4 moa groups with factory ammo. I don't have any handloads made for this rifle yet. The muzzle break is almost good enough for me to see the impacts with a .300WinMag!

This is turning out to be a GREAT rifle.
