No re-crown. Just added the brake. 168gr IMI Razor Core. First three rounds (suppressed).  A single over adjustment to the left and pulled a flyer on a 5 round shot group. I'd call it a .5 MOA or better gun. Still need to try out other factory loads.

hornady 55gr vmax, 3100fps, 25.2gr H335, 2.250 OAL (Varmint AR load, didnt mess with it)

Center-Center measurements. Bipod and rear bag shooting :). Its a 1/2moa rifle if i do my part. i got it for shooting 223 slower and more accurately. its everything I wanted in a fun 100-600yd small portable bolt rifle.

75gr loads were a no go for me but was already a known "prolly not" when I got it.

I haven't shot it yet in this stock so I can't really give an opinion on accuracy, gun was originally in a bell and carlson stock and shot fairly well.... The renegade is what got me looking at Grayboe. Local shop had a rifle in one, felt great and solid, I could not get the barrel to contact the forend without putting a lot of pressure. It feels a lot more solid than the Bell and Carlson. I don't have enough experience with H and S precision to compare them, but BC and HS have an aluminum bedding block, the Grayboe's are similar to McMillian by not using a block. Last time I ordered a stock from BC the bedding block was not put in straight. They replaced it but I still had to skim bed it. I don't blame BC, they have great customer service still happy with them.

The ridgeback and renegade feel almost the same. I'm not a fan of the Mlock mounting points on the forend, but I do like the adjustable cheek rest and lop. I plan to get the receiver rebarreled after school with an m40/24 contour barrel, it shouldn't need opened up much.    Brownell's had the renegade onsale for 272 for all colors and camo, but they have a 21 day shipping time.... Redhawk Rifles and others have the renegade for 329 solid colors and 354 for camo.  I got the Ridge back for 500 from Redhawk Rifles, I think you'd be happy with either..

Grayboe stocks are GTG. I had a local gunsmith professionally install the stock and skim bed the action, and my groups shrunk down to .25 running a factory R700 SPS-Tactical barrel and action with COTS ammo.

Very nice. Been looking at getting the enclosed forend for my Bravo as well.

Is the can a AAC-762? If so, how is that working for you? I've read they're great for noise reduction but also heard they can cause some accuracy problems (on top of POI changes which is expected).

Yes it is. I put a rubber 0 ring in it to help tighten it up but yes it will negatively affect the accuracy a tiny amount on the CTR. On my grendel its enough I don't like using it. On the CTR the POI shift is .4 mils down everytime. I personally would not recommend them for a precesion rig if your primary concern is the tiniest of groups. For my use a small sacrifice of accuracy is acceptable.

FINALLY able to post my completed gun. Started last September, with hopes of using it to go hunting and I just couldn't get it done in time. Got the rings in today (after a 10 day delay, thanks Amazon) and mounted the optic. I used a questionable leveling method, and while it looks right I may still end up buying an actual scope level after all.

So after finally getting my rings in, and the scope level and secured I was FINALLY able to actually go shoot this bad boy. Been in the works since last September.

The range I had access too today is only 112yards so I zeroed it at 100. I bore sighted it, and was able to figure out how to adjust my turrets to get myself in the right ballpark (first shot didn't even hit the target lol) Don't be to hard, this is my first time sighting in a scope and using a Mil Dot recital and I am still learning the basics.



Tried to get a phone pic through it, but it wasn't that great. The RO was going crazy about this optic though, he loved it.


I picked up some really cheap 308 just to get my optic close, as I didn't want to be shooting gold match for my first shots that I knew were going to be bad. I took these and they don't show the random single shots that were all over the target before I was able to bore sight it correctly.

Once I had the bore sight down I started making the adjustments. Group 1 was me holding on the dead center of the head. It was two mils off. To check that I was right (and not just shooting poorly) I held 2 mils left and fired group number 2.


So now that I figured out what ballpark I was in, I adjusted it further to center my crosshairs and proceeded to shoot group number 3. After seeing that I was low and to the right, I adjusted again and fired group 4. I only shot 4 rounds in each just because I only had a couple boxes with me.


Not MOA, but considering I was using 150gr Tula I'm happy. I at least know I really enjoy it, and love the gun I built.

My first centerfire bolt action.  Tikka Tac A1 in 6.5

Being cross eye dominant forced me into a left hander so base rifle and chassis options are a little bit of a challenge.  If MDT doesn't make a lefty ACC, I'll just order an MPA of some sort.

The top is a tikka CTR in .308 and my browning hells canyon speed in 300WM.
