338 Edge Build

[Rhino 55]

As some know, I build rifles as a hobby. I'm into high precision hunting rifles. Either I blue print Remington 700 receivers or use Surgeon receivers. I use either Krieger or Rock Creek barrels. For hunting stocks. I prefer Greybull stocks. For precision rifles I prefer XLR industries.

This build is a 338 Edge (338/300 RUM) built on a Surgeon Receiver with a Rock Creek Barrel heavy varmint. 1-9.5 twist. the scope is a Votex 5x20x54 Razor HD. If you are LE/Military or Veteran. go check out Vortex website for a 40% off their MSRP. PM me for details

Not yet. Just finished lapping the barrel. Need to install a trigger and break in the barrel.

Maybe off topic, but what is your opinion of the 6.5 Creedmoor?

I built a 260 Remington instead of the 6.5 CM. They both have the same ballistics and the 260 can be found at any Walmart. The 6.5 CM was a development between Dennis Demil and Hornady. I've know Dennis for about twenty years when he was a CWO4 with the Marine Corp. He was on the Marine Corp Shoot team. I don't knock the 6.5 CM but for reloading all we need to do is resize 308 brass into 6.5
