doubleA Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 It's done, I finally coated the barreled action with Cerakote. Here are some pics of the completed rifle. Oh...it's a 223 Ackley Improved that's a hammer with 75 gr Amaxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Quite the rifle there Charlie, very nice. Guessing it shoots really well for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Wery nicely laid out rig, there, Deuce. Maybe a tad thin on portability. But I imagine you have a mountain rifle. Looks like you're well equipped to keep folks from peeing in your pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 what a sweet looking set up!!!! I imagine those plates you have won't be much of a problem with that gun!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RalloZ35 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 That looks really awesome, what exactly will you be using it for, just range shooting (making everyone and the range jealous) or maybe varmint hunting?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 That looks really sweet Charlie! Awesome rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 interesting choice for a bipod. what happened to the 90 gr bullets? i think you need a gong farther than 750 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjam5 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I need a drooling smilie to really say how I feel . One sweet piece metal craftsmanship there Charlie. Enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleA Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Thanks everyone for the kind words. interesting choice for a bipod. what happened to the 90 gr bullets? That's a Sinclair F class bipod, which BTW is very well thought out and about as close to a front rest as you can get. The chamber is specifically throated for the 75gr Amax at 2.500 OAL which still fits in the magazine. Wery nicely laid out rig, there, Deuce. Maybe a tad thin on portability. Yeah it's right at 18lbs with the Harris on it, a tad bit more with the Sinclair. Between the wieght and muzzle brake, it just goes POW when the trigger is pulled. That looks really awesome, what exactly will you be using it for, just range shooting (making everyone and the range jealous) or maybe varmint hunting?? Just a plinker for now at my range, probably a hog picker when it's suppressed. I got out and shot today, 100 yds 5 shot groups, one's just under 3/8" and the other is a hair over 1/4".

Shaun_300 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Man that's some nice shootin' Charlie! Whatever steps out in front of that barrel is screwed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowana Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Great Job and greater rig!!!! I Just love to see these projects. What are you getting for velocity and what are you using for a bullet? Everyone has a TV show nowadays......maybe we should camo our stocks and barrels and have Bill sponsor Long Range Realtree??? What you guys think??

Stinger-Hunter Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Makes me scared to even look at it. Very awesome rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleA Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 The rifle spilled some blood.... The rifle was christened this weekend. Took a 16yr old youth out this weekend for a little shooting. He fell in love with it and shot it well. Took 5 hogs with the 75gr Amax. Here are a couple pigs that didnt fare to well, one DRT with a ear hole shot and the other DRT with one right between the eyes.:gun1::toot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
