I have ordered my next custom rifle build. I jumped on the Alamo Precision Rifle's: "group" Texas Bowhunting Forums rifle build.

I'm joining the ever increasing number of shooters going with the .22 Creedmoor !!!!

Custom Redding Dies were purchased through Accurate Arms

Brass through Alpha Munitions. have some Hornady back ordered. Powder and bullets on hand. I'll be asking for secret, pet, loads from the .22 Creed "under ground"........we dont need no ladder test peep

Optics, I went with the Nightforce SHV 5-20, I'm embarrassed to say what I paid, got lucky!!! Ultra-light rings too.

Rifle specs:

APR short action
Trigger Tech Diamond Trigger
Proof Research, 24" carbon fiber barrel, Threaded for suppressor
Cant remember the Stock manufacturer, G.G maybe? 100% carbon fiber, I'll find out.....
Detachable Magazine bottom metal (had to add this, as It will make it easier to SELL to one of you guys !!!!!)
Funky paint scheme with a funky Creakote mix......

If you are an "active" member of the Texas Bowhunter Forum, you can get in on this, but TODAY is the cutoff to order.

Ironically, I may have to sell my $2200 worth of barely used archery gear to afford this mess.

Stay tuned for more.


Oh Yeah, I'm already planning next years build, 300 PRC. bolt

You not finding the perfect load for that rifle, spending the time at the bench, and on the range is nothing short of pure laziness.

Shame on you.

Clean it, load 10 foulers, load the ladder, make sure it has a 20 MOA pic rail on it, hand it to me, and walk away. I'll shoot it at 500 for you.

Why did you go with a Nightforce SHV 5-20? Isn't that a second focal plain scope?
