I like real wood much better than synthetic stocks..... Do not have to jump or dive a long gun in anymore so no advantage for me going synthetic. When you shoulder this SuperGrade gun you just feel the quality and shit it just looks good.

Nice looking piece!
(I love real wood too, but, I go synthetic for accuracy.)

TS,
You have peaked my curiosity.
Being the noob that I am, how does having a synthetic stock increase ones accuracy?

That is a really good looking rifle. Really good.
Now that you need to go shoot it:
I mentioned earlier the 120 grain Nosler that the 7mm mag guys here shoot. I'll add a link to a forum discussion on the load below. My gun will put 3 in a skoal can at 300 yards with this load, and I think the muzzle velocity is between 3300-3400 fps. BC on that bullet is out of this world. If you load some, let me know how it works out.

I will try that load a little later. I actually have two boxes of 120's to reload when ready.
I am going to work on my first rounds for my base line here using Berger 168 grain.

Much to learn young padawan.
There is nothing wrong with a wooden stock as long as it is kept dry and out of real humid conditions.
I'm a little OCD when it comes to accuracy.

Yes, yes .. much to learn.
Never even crossed my mind about warped/warping of the wood/stock.
Thank you Oh-Jeffie-Wan ...

Very purdy there, B! Good job.
I love wood, but I get so pissed at myself if I mar it. And hell no, no one else gets to touch it. But that's a good thing.

A "sniper" you are not.
Free floating barrel, best.
Synthetic stock, best.
First focal plane, best.
Hand loaded ammo, best.
That said, there are many rifles that shoot sub-MOA and have none of these features. Most cannot shoot past the rifles capabilities anyway.
