This is my new one. NEF 223 Heavy Barrel, w/3-9 Burris FF II and Harris Bipod. TonightI mounted another sling stud to move the bipod further back.

Hunting yesterday.




From tonight.

By the way, camo paint job will be done as soon as I can get up the nerve.

Here is what I did to my coyote gun. It's a Stevens 200 in .223.
Please ignore the ugly carpet in my basement spare room. It came with the house.[:'(]

That is really a nice looking outfit... Does it shoot well?

Betcha ur not shooten conicals out of dat...

Next time over I'll bring my 222 and we'll do some shooting - actually it is over there Trevor has it....

It's not shootingthe way I want it yet Mike.Definitely good enough for coyote hunting though. I have only had it out for a couple short sight in sessions and only used one load in it. I have done several of the "Handi" tricks since the last time out. So, I hope to have it shooting by the time you come over.

cascadedad,

if you havent already, float the barrel. I have the same rifle in same caliber and the groups were all over the place once the barrel heats up. I floated my barrel and it shoot great.

Hey nutter, how did you float the barrel? It is my understanding that with this type of rifle (screw holding on forearm) you can not free float the barrel. But.....I did install a rubber o-ring on the forearm stud, which does float the rest of the barrel. After doing a little more reading, I installed some weather stipping foam between the barrel and the front of the forestock. This basically creates a pressure bed which reportedly really helps accuracy. I can't wait to shoot it again to see where I am at with it. Hopefully that will be sometime this weekend.

This is a rifle that I built in 6mm-284 for L-O-N-G-E -R-A-N-G-E shooting....
