Reply With QuoteYea I did a before and after and there wasn't any measurable difference.
Did you shoot with the stock before and after the bedding? if so was their any difference? I will be shooting at 800-1800 meters in distance so, every little detail will count

My first varmint rifle, definitely not my last!
Model 12FV in .223 1:9 Twist
Stock is Boyds Forest Camo
Old school Acra Glass bedding dyed green and brown to match the stock.
Rifle shoots great! Not a huge fan of the accutrigger but everything else is right on!
looks really nice !!!
Base coat is Duracoat Coyote Tan from an aerosol can. The spots are rustoleum camo paint applied with an artist sponge.
Savage 110 stagger feed. McGowen 30" 1-10 twist barrel with no taper. Rifle Basix SAV-II trigger set to about 12 oz. Choate Ultimate Sniper Stock.
Harris Bipod. Ferrell Industries 20 MOA scope base. SWFA S-S 16X scope. Caliber is 30-06. I have done sub 1" groups at 200 yards with 50 gr 2700, 190 SMK, Lapua Brass.
Planning on taking it past 1000 yards once I get the right powder. Have some RL22 on back order and Berger 210 VLD for this purpose.
Finished build

That looks scary cool!
I second that! I would love some more details about that camo job. And some more pics!
My latest.
Started life as a 111 in 30/06. Nice crisp 3 screw trigger polished and adjusted to 2.5 lbs with no creep, no over travel. Apache Gun Works 22" varmint weight barrel chambered in 6x55 improved 30°, 1 in 8" twist. Boyd's Prairie Hunter stock in Cinnamon, Savage large bolt handle, Leupold rings and bases, Leupold 4-12 VX1. A 6.5x20 Zeiss Conquest is on it's way for this rifle as well as an EGW 20moa base and Burris XTR low rings.

Very nice sir. Looks like the Prairie Hunter handled the barrel diameter well?

Looks good, King. What is it?
The sweet thing is on the end of the barrel.
260 Remington.
Guess I should have posted specs.

MD80CAptain very nice camo job! Is that the sponge method? Or what material did you use?
Very nice selection of parts KingZero... Very nice...
Thanks, yes it is the sponge method. Very easy to do and very pleasing results. I got the method from tiborasaurusrex.

Nice! I have the same rifle! Any plans to upgrade the scope? I have an SWFA 16x42 on order. I'm just curious what other people might go with for the same gun. What kind of groups are you getting? Did the stock improve your accuracy? Thanks!Before:

The 11VT? I picked it up last October. I took it hunting a few times this year, but never saw a deer, merely a bobcat walking my property.
I DO have plans for optics, and just placed an order with Natchez Shooter's Supply for some Nikon BDC reticle glass, Leo rings & bases. Grouping with that scope, and optic and surplus ammo? Not great... around 2-3" 200-300 yards. the big barrel really favors heavier rounds, and most surplus is 147 or 149 Gr.
I have some reloads, and access to more, and working on my own reloading equipment.
anyway, if you thought that 11VT was heavy before.... that choate tactical stock (by the way, they do make a direct fit model http://www.riflestock.com/store/do/product/TRS/25-06-01 although I had to widen the trigger assembly channel with that drill & carbide bid photographed) is HEAVY....
Cool! Yes I also have the 11VT (from Dick's SG) in 308. Mine will be more set up for shooting steel out to 1000yrds off a bench. I am eyeing the choate stock or the boyd's tacticool. I just got into reloading (pretty much just for the 11VT) and am working up some 175gr sierra loads.
Your Nikon with BDC should suit you well. I have a Buckmaster with BDC on my 30-06 hunting rifle and I love it for hunting.
Kinda what I'm thinking. I won't be so much benchrest shooting as I'll be shooting anything from 100-900 yards, maybe a 1k if I can find it around here.
Probably all day time shooting, so I'm not seeking a 50mm objective. how are the 175's performing? I have some 168gr hand loads to work with, and a lot of surplus stuff for plinking.
I just got this today actually. I bought a Savage 11 to build and 2 days later I find and I come up with this!

I can't get a .260 build off my mind. How do you like it to 308? And I just mean which would you rather shoot
