Correct you are sir, that rifle is my baby that I built up piece by piece. This ewe was actually the first animal I've taken with it - I just built it up this spring. It's a 6.5x47 Lapua, with a custom fluted Bartlein barrel, accurized by GA Precision, Timney trigger, Boyd's stock (nothing special there but I liked the grey wood and the tactical shape has a vertical grip that I shoot better than a traditional hunter profile, as well as a handy dip in the back that seats my Bipod Buddy rear support), Vortex Viper PST first focal plane scope. I run an aluminum anodizing line so the orange bolt knob and Talley scope rings were custom colored by yours truly. I shoot Berger 140gr bullets in front of 36 grains of Varget powder. It's a three-quarter minute gun on a bad day, usually closer to half-minute. It's a pleasure to shoot and it means business. I shot the ewe at 183 yards, and actually had to dial the scope down because it's zeroed at 200 yards. Couldn't have walked up and poked her in a better spot, it was a pretty perfect shot, slight quartering away but didn't ruin much of the offside shoulder.
