Finally finished my Custom LR Rifle

[slickyboyboo]

Finally got my custom 280 Ackley Improved finished up about the middle of Nov, and I have to say that it turned out awesome! If it shoots half as good as it looks, it will be a killing machine!

Been too busy trying to fill the freezer, and haven't had a chance to hardly pull the trigger yet, but watch out, come the end of Jan!

Lookin good Slickster!!!! I'm jealous, bigtime!
You did a great job on putting that all together. I don't think you're gonna be disappointed with that Baby.

[slickyboyboo]

Thanks, I do think I am going to be happy with it! Now to put some lead downrange!

[Shooter]

Dang Slicky, can't believe none of these turkey killers don't see the beauty and greatness of your new rifle!! Specially Ricky, with that big Gold Ring sitting on top.
That is a real piece of work!!

Congrats on the 280 ackley they are great efficient rounds I have had mine for about 7 years and love it, I have shot everything from 120 BT at 3500fps which are poison on our MS deer to 162 amax, it is a heck of a shooter!!

[hookedspur]

[Spuriosity]

Very nice, Slicky. Great choice of caliber. Hope she shoots as good as she looks.

[Hoobilly]

hope it shoots as good as it looks for you!

[pullit]

Cool rig, how does she shoot?

[slickyboyboo]

Thanks everyone, I'm glad to have it done, and stoked at how it turned out.

John,

I have been so busy trying to fill the freezer this year, that I haven't even had a chance to work up a load for it yet. I will say that it is giving me 3000 fps with 162 ELD-Xs, with a below listed max load of VVN560.

[pullit]

My 280AI will do 3100 FPS with 140's but I am sure I could get more but it is shooting in the .3" group size, so I am good where I am.
Oh and mine has a 24" Hart barrel.

[01Foreman400]

Very nice!!

[Reloader]

Damn nice looking rig Barry. That turned out really, really well. It was worth the wait, I know you've had that in the pipeline for years. Sometimes customs can take years to finish, other times not so much.

I'm building Dad a 6Rem right now, went with a Brux #3 8 twist. He bought 500 95grn Partitions, so I sure hope it likes that pill LOL.

[turkeywizard]

Nice build. Can't go wrong with the brux.

[msu33]

Very Nice! I'm a big fan of custom 700's. Ive been wanting to do a custom lightweight rig. I have two heavy rigs, but not as purty at that one.
