A little diffrant colored .22-250

Recommended Posts

I don't usually post pictures of the rifles I build but this one is a little different so I thought I'd share.

Starting as a late 70's Remington 700 ADL that was an ugly but true Kryloned varmint hunting machine in its day. That day came when the 55gr. Ballistic tips doing 3900fps. finally cought up to it. As deep as I could send the bore scope the heat cracks never ended. The tear down began minutes after. I decided to have a little fun with this build. A Broughton 5C 1:8 twist 3G contour barrel blank was chosen to stabilize some longer 75gr pills. Pushing the barrel shank as long as possible to allow a setback when time comes it finished in at 26 3/4" in length. Instead of straight or spiral fluting I decided to wright a CNC program and go straight interrupted fluting. Of course I trued the action fluted the bolt and added a tach knob. The stock is a Gunwerks LR-1000 Egde Tech carbon fiber utalizing an aluminum bedding block and recoil lug wedge system. The recoil lug is now .250" thick. Jewell trigger, flush cup sling adapters and Atlas pic rail for the bipod. Scope is the G7 "Nightforce NSX" 5-22x50 mounted with Talley one piece bases and rings. Wanting something diffrant I chose to go black and orange. It took allot of work and hours of masking for Cericoat but the end result is orange flutes on a black barrel and bolt. Black and gray spiderweb painted stock with a little orange speckling to tie it all together.

Slick rifle! It's begging for some 75 gr AMAXs or the new 77 gr TMK's. I have a tired old VSSF II in 22-250 that needs a fast twist.
