Extremely nice!
Holler at me when you want to come zero it and stretch it out. Head down SH 11 just a little past Bailey.

You will love your Meopta....rifles not bad either ha ha.
Hey let me know what you recipes are trying. I shoot a McWhorter 6.5 Weatherby. Our numbers are pretty close. I'm running 67.5gr H-1000, 140VLD Hunting Berger. I have a ton of Retumbo and Vituvouri N560 and just got some RL-26 to play with. The H-1000 load is going to be hard to beat for accuracy anyway, but I am always looking for the Holy Grail loading.
Did you gather parts and give them to Alamo to build? That thing should ROCK, great LR Hunting gun.

I'm betting it will. This is the first 26 Nosler that Robert has done with a 8.7 twist so he's anxious to see how it shoots as well.

What was the original caliber of your donor action?

Originally it was a Rem 300 Ultra Mag. Know anyone who needs a 300 UM barrel?

Looks well set up to me. Buzz may be referring to the fluting. Being a lefty Robert ran it all counter clockwise as opposed to clockwise on a right hand. Makes no functional difference but just adds to the overall look and it's one of those little details that makes his work outstanding!

I think you can use a standard long action on the 28 Nosler but he 26 takes an Ultra Mag action. At least that's my understanding but I've been wrong before

Good here. Glad it's starting to cool off a bit. Planting food plots lately at pards place by Trinity.
Hope y'all are doing well.
That rig looks like it should stretch out to a couple of zip codes!
