Thread: Gun Porn, show off your new toys

My latest build, got sick of lugging the light but very long Waypoint 6.5prc through thick bush so finally got round to completing a project I'd hand in mind (and safe) for the last couple of years. I wanted something short and light, didn't cost an arm and a leg, but allowed the use of my OD suppressor which did. Meant I was stuck with an HBAR profile being mandatory, so what started as a Howa 1500 .308 20" Blued HBAR became this. A 14" fluted and painted bush pig. The barrel chop, threading/re-crown, and fluting work was done by DPT. Cerakote was outsourced by GC. I am very happy with the work from both, and the end result is a well balanced rifle. The suppressor is an OD Alpine Hunter Magnum, the optic is a Leupold VX-3HD 1.5-5x20 FireDot Twilight Hunter. Cerakote colour code is H-264 for barrel and action (both rifles), C-110 for the bolt on the Howa.
