First build complete!

[J300UM]

Decided to take a stab at building a couple LW Hunting rigs. This one was built for one of my hunting buddies. I'm pretty happy with the way this one turned out. I've got one in the works for myself but I won't have the rest of the parts for a couple weeks.

Build Specs:
Tikka T3 Receiver
24" Carbon Six Sendero Contour 8tw
Chambered in 7mm Max
TI Pro2 Brake
Mesa Altitude Stock
Tips the scale at 9lbs 10oz all up
Hopefully I'll have this thing breathing fire tomorrow!

Thinking about getting a TI Pro 2 for my 7RM as well. Looks real good on that setup. I definitely need one of those LRO shooting bags. Sweet rig!

 

[J300UM]

That bag has been like an adult pacifier for me! I literally start to get anxiety when I’m leaving for a hunt and can’t immediately find it. Lol!

Sweet. Nice looking rifle there. Can't wait to hear how it shoots.

 

[J300UM]

Thanks bud. I’ll report on load development as I go. I’m really curious about this little 7 Max round.

 

[OSOK - Crash]

Very nice! Looks great!

Any areas of the build that you would do different? Always curious to learn from you guys building your own.

I think the only thing I would’ve done different would’ve been to order the stock with a smaller barrel channel and open it up myself. The channel on that stock was huge and slightly offset in the forearm.

Nice! What bullets are you planning to shoot?

We’ll be starting with 180 VLDs.

Have you shot it yet, and if so how do you like that HTG style stock?
