Finished the 284 Win Striker

I've been assembling this in pieces as I find them, but it's finally done.

The barrel is an 18" bull barrel which came from the McGowen ready to ship page for $185. The scope is a VX-3 6.5-20LR which was sent off to Premier Reticles to have M1 turrets and a Mil-Dot reticle installed. I got through a trade for about $500.

Now I just need time to go shoot it. I have a some Lapua 6.5x284 brass waiting to be necked up and a box of 168gr Berger VLDs ready to go.

That looks real nice. I am sure with that scope and barrel combo you should be able to do anything.

How does it feed through the factory magazine?

[yorketransport]

It actually feeds pretty well if you open up the lips a little bit. I ran some 120 gr Nosler BTs to get on paper and they fed pretty well from the mag.

I finally took it out today to start load work. I'm getting under .5" groups with the 168 Berger VLD while working up loads with H4831sc. The faster I send them, the better they shoot. Right now they're moving at 2665fps and I got under .4" for 3 shots at 58.5 gr. I may work up another grain or two to see how that shoots.

Nice looking Striker! Is that a stock, Stock? Did you have to do alot to the.stock to get that barrel to fit?
Looks like you have the right combo to get the job done. Good Job!
