Got a new toy built by Hot Shot Rifles in Wylie. I really wanted a Juddmoor, but he wouldn’t build it! rofl

In all seriousness, I think it’s one of his best builds to date! Not sure of anything I’d really do different. Defiance action, trigger tech, Manners, Hawkins DBM, and Proof barrel. J.G.’s son did the cerakote I believe.

These were the first groups shot with the rifle after fouling and a ladder test the week before!

Awesome! Thats a great combo of components, well done.

I am really liking the MCS PH stock at this point. I have seven builds out there on them and two more in the works, they are working well.

Keep those young ones shooting, they will be the ones to carry this all on.

Not much to dislike with that setup...you done good with the part picking. Makes the assembly job way easier on me wink Thanks for letting me build it. The Manners PH and McMillan's new Mountain Tracker are two great stocks...weight nod going to Manners and paint/colors going to McMillan. That's the 4 or 5th saum I've touched and they've all been impressive. I think a 16" barrel shooting 120-130 bullet is about the perfect box blind gun.

Always cool getting the kiddo out shooting...loved how much he liked shooting that 22.

I am very glad you are happy with it!

It's tricky business masking off a carbon fiber barrel. It certainly is a good looking rifle. And, being Judd's machining, I had no doubt it would shoot great!

Appreciate it. Yes Judd being meticulous transfers great to rifle work, but all that range time did was cost me another $1000. Bought that Bergara .22lr this morning, and now need a scope. hammer However, I'd rather him be burning power and time behind a rifle than inside on some iPad or video game.

Yes, very happy. He did great on the coating. I really want to try and see if I can get some black paint into all the etchings on the receiver. I thought it would make it pop more. Anyway, thanks again. I need to bring Garrett out to your place, and do your class with him. He's old enough now that I think he could run a rifle to 500-600 yards, and he's smart enough he'd soak up all the info. Only problem would be the constant lessons I'd have to endure on how I'm wrong after we are done. roflmao roflmao

You can shoot flat black paint into the engraving, and then instantly wipe off the excess with a cloth soaked in acetone. May need a couple of clean cloths to get it right.

I'd be happy to have yall come out!

Because second focal plane and MOA are both stupid.

Let me show me show the boy the proper path.
