Started as a Stevens 200 .308 .45 McGowan smokeless muzzleloader barrel B&C Duramaxx stock SSS Fluted bolt body 209 bolt head Rifle basix trigger Mscott bolt handle NSS recoil lug NSS precision barrel nut Talley lightweight rings Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 Action and all the other parts that are black are cerama coated by me. Still in the learning phase with all things smokeless but it is showing promise at the range. But with your help i'll get there. Thanks to everybody here for all your help and putting up with my dumb questions, there will be more I promise lol. And special thanks to Omega45 as we exchanged probably 50 emails back and forth helping me out.   |

Awesome looking rifle. No need to group. Just show the animal what it's up against and it will fall over dead.

Nice job! That is a rig to be proud of. It's great when you can at least "do it yourself" for most of the work. Least other than the fancy machining you did it yourself? Now the best part, load development and getting the glass to 0. Cool spring weather great for shooting. Nice! 10

Very nice rifle . Is it a small or large shank ? Good luck . Its a small shank. It was built off of a Stevens 200 action which are all small shank. Had the dreaded sticky primer issue with the first hundred or so rounds but the good folk here helped cure that and haven't had one stick in a long time. |
