338 Lapua Ackley improved

Well its finally ready to go to it's new home after an extremely long time due to circumstances outside my control :oh noes:

http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/...pscvkcxja9.jpg

Fluted UM True-Flite, 1-10, 28" barrel, T3 Terminator muzzle brake, McMillan Edge Tech A3, Defiance Deviant Lapua .750 bolt action, Timney trigger, extended mag box.

It has one of my load development VX III LRs on it.

The Defiance action is VERY nice.

Shoots pretty good for a windy day, gusting 5-15 MPH today, best group shown, had a few with two in one hole & the wind or me taking the other :oh noes:

Good things take time apparently, just generally not this much time...:)

Looks bloody good! I'm sure the customer will be wrapped, if not, I'll look after it for him.

I was lucky Mikee, I got some good groups with two rifles despite the wind, Heavy High BC projectiles help :thumbsup:

well lucky you. to be honest my 100 yard groups were a bit rough and the 200 yard one were all over the place like a mad women with the runs.

Good thing i didnt go today then!

First deer for the new rifle. Taken at 401m through the top of the heart. :-)

It went where the crosshairs were aimed! ;-)

338 Improved on Fallow... What do you use for reds? ;-)

Good shooting.

Ah, and very nice looking rifle too.

Well I do need to get out with the bow more often!

Big bullet going quite fast leaves a big hole for it to bleed out.

...still less than the last bit of damage on a Fallow in the same spot with my .222..................

Looking at that I can understand why meat hunters favour the neck shot.
