Hey folks I want to share a few photos of my new shooting iron. I bought it from a man in Missouri who builds some nice rifles. It’s the first Friday off I’ve had in a while so I went shooting this morning and I decided to snap a few photos before cleaning and returning to the safe. The rifle is built on a Left hand C series Remington short action. The barrel is a Hart#2 stainless 24” 1-8 twist. The stock is a McMillian Remington classic ADL 13.5” lop standard fill 50/50 black and orange. The bolt ti fluted by Karl Kampfeld and is finished and bedded. Cerekoted by Eddie Fosaugh titanium and graphite black. It has a Talley base and rings. .Bare gun weighs 6.5#. The rifle is chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor and it shoots 130 grain Accubond's like a champ! I've got some 120 grain Hornady Superformance I'll try with it next time. Later Taters, Baker

Very sweet rig. Ought to drive tacks all day long with that setup.

Very nice southpaw rig. If you'd will it to me, I'd appreciate it.

Nice! Don't see too many short action 700's with the bolt handle on the correct side.
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

Man, good looking rig, I like it as it resembles a hunter more than a target weapon. Stock actually works great in those colors too, mighty fine What did that thing set you back, if you care to share?

Looks good Baker, that creedmoor is an axis hammer.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.
