    Not a new toy but one of my long range rifles: Rem 700 SPS in 300 RUM, has a XCR stock which has been bedded around action and has pillars on the action screws. I floated the barrel.
    It has a Vortex Viper 4x16 PST on it and a 20 MOA rail. The trigger needs a touch up but it's usable. Best group I shot with 208gr A-Max was 13 mm. Longest shot to date was a young Thar in April at 300 yds, all my other " long shots" have been 80 yds, and 90 yds on redskins, and about 80 yds on a young bull Thar, nothing argues with those 208's at 3180 fps.
    Still has factory 26 inch barrel.Name:  300 Rum with Vortex Viper 4x16x50 PST (2).jpg

    I was warned when I bought my first Sako, it changes you they told me. Maybe @buzzman is an example of what they were talking about?

    Sure do, have a 338 Win Mag as well, shot my moose with a loaned Ruger M77 in Alaska. Got a few standard calibers too, just like rifles.
    Have had 3300 fps with 180gr bullets in RUM but not as accurate as those 208's. might try some of those new Hornady 212gr ELD-X one day when I run low on the 208's.

    That's one fucking ugly and HUGE suppressor bro.
    Rifle looks good but
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
