    Here is a little video that I put together of me and a couple friend stretching out our rifles. There is a little adult language so if that bothers you, we are sorry. I haven't learned how to edit it out yet, still learning. Hope you guys and gals enjoy!!! https://www.youtube.com/user/19gaps/videos

    I LOVE my 300rum. I had a 7mm and a 300win mag before building this gun. I sold both factory guns and went with one custom and do not regret it. I almost built this in a 300win mag but didn't want to regret not going with the 300rum. I knew I didn't want to step up to a .338 even as some recommended it instead of the 300rum, and I don't regret it one bit. The 300rum is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a long range gun that was VERY capable to hunt elk out to 1,000+ if I need it to... However, I do load my own ammo and that has a lot to do with it. If I was shooting factory rounds I would probably go with the 300 win mag then. Just because of the ammo availability and cost. But since I am reloading, I went with the rum. A 230gr bullet with a G1 b.c. of .743 or G7 b.c. of .380 running 3,048fps is tuff to beat in my opinion....hope this helps! Btw, I have a badger thruster muzzle brake on it and the recoil is very manageable...I can shoot it all day and still enjoy it...but the rifle isn't light either...prolly 13lbs so that helps recoil too...

    @308Nut-I have heard from many people that they have never had a 215 not ignite thats why I believe it is not a primer issue.... @Vowell-That sucks to hear it happened on a bear and a yote. I believe it was a fluted firing pin and assembly from PTG...I'll give an update on here once I get some answers from Phoenix Custom Rifles. Let me know what southerexpress has to say too...he is the one who bought the bottom metal from my donor rifle for this build, nice guy and looks like he does good work...

    Fed 215. I don't think it's the primers, I think it is the firing pin assembly... It has done this on rounds I have primed and on rounds that someone else has primed...

    Took my rifle to Phoenix Custom Rifles and they checked out the bolt and the firing pin assembly. Everything checked out fine and they cleaned and re-lubed the bold. However, I just went out a few days ago to shoot long range and the first round that I put in there did not fire, go figure. A crater on the primer but no ignition. I ejected the round, inspected it, dry fired a few times, and then tried to shoot the same round, still a no go. This was a hand load with twice fired remington brass, federal 215, 89.4gr retumbo, 3.899 coal. Every other round I tried the rest of they day was perfect though.... So, what should I do? Any advice is welcome. I just want to be able to trust that it will fire every time, especially being a hunting rifle. Anyway, besides that, this rifle is stupid accurate. Here are some pics to show proof. I still don't believe how accurate Phoenix Custom Rifles built this rifle. 300 RUM pushing 230gr Match Berger Hybrids @3,048fps!!! The steel at 1,000 is 20"x20" 3 shots at 100 yards=.322"!!! 3 shots at 1,000 yards= 1.75" at most!!!

    It's on a rancher's private land. He is kind enough to give us a key to open the gate and shoot. Wish I could tell you more than that!

    You may want to check eBay. I bought my H S Precidion sendero takeoff stock on eBay for $280. It was brand new with bottom metal and factory tags on it

    Good start with the Timney. I love mine and it is set at 2lbs, they will set it at your desired pull weight from the factory if you ask. If it was me I would purchase a Vortex Viper HS-LR or Viper HS-T next. In my opinion they are the most feature packed scopes for the money. My brother in law bought a used factory Remington 700 in 7mm, bought a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50, factory winchester 150gr from wal-mart and sighted in at 100 yards, then took a shot at 1,000 and hit it. Check it out in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kAknB_mZ0s. I'm not saying that is all you need but a good trigger and good optics/rings/rail is a good start!
