RHINO Report post Posted September 19, 2016 It's a sendero contour, and I think it weighs right at 10lbs bare bones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RHINO Report post Posted September 19, 2016 This rifle was built by a friend of mine. Hes been building for himself for a while, and he just started his own business building custom rifles (precision craft rifles). He took my old winchester model 70 30-06 and turned it into this beast. Im shooting 53 grains of h4831 at 2925fps. It has a razor gen 2 scope on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azbow Report post Posted September 21, 2016 Any work done on the Mod 70 action or bolt? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RHINO Report post Posted September 21, 2016 Yes, basically everything. Blue printed, lapped lugs, trued the face, cerakoted the action and bolt, pillar and glass bedded. Not sure what else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingzero Report post Posted September 21, 2016 Very nice. I know a Sendero contour is about as big as you can put in a Gamescout. How much stock is on either side of the barrel? Im wanting to get one but thinking about going with the Gamewarden cause of the wider front end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RHINO Report post Posted September 21, 2016 He's just getting started out of Oracle. He has his own rifle range with steel gongs out to 1400 yards. He does everything by word of mouth right now until he can build up his business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Report post Posted September 22, 2016 Absolutely amazing the accuracy you are getting out of it. Even if I had a rifle that shot that well, I don't think I could make it shoot that well. Excellent marksmanship for sure. Thanks for sharing all the details. I've had a really hard time with Bergers in my 6.5 - not sure if it's a bad batch but I'll load some right up to the lands and they seat well, but tight. Others I've backed off as much as 20/1000 and they still won't seat. One side hits the lands - probably need to straighten them - where they hit is always the same spot. Congrats on an outstanding rifle, and of course being able to shoot it to its potential. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
