Why they call it the art of rifle


Last fall I posted on a long distance rifle plan based on an action I had. The project didn't go anywhere, but it got me talking with Chad Dixon aka Longrifles,Inc. The final result is in the picture:
300 RUM, Defiance action, 26" Lilja barrel with 2" removable break, Nesika stock, Jewel trigger, Harris bipod, and Nightforce NSX 5.5-22x56.
Chad's test fire was three touching bullet holes, I won't embarrass this piece of gunsmithing art by showing what I shot out on my first attempt (I blame factory ammunition and 15 mph wind of course). It shoots like a dream, 20 lbs weight make even a 300 RUM tame.
