willbird Posted January 9, 2019 Report Posted January 9, 2019 I studied on the 1000 yard benchrest stuff some too. Even shot one match at Williamsport, PA range. Won my relay with a borrowed 17 lb "light" rifle. That discipline is focused on 10 shot groups that count once for score and again for group diameter. Unlimited sighters at clay birds on the backstop if conditions change. Winning strategy is to get POI right and hammer 10 shots as fast as you can aim and shoot. The whole game really shows some interesting things about long range accuracy. http://www.pa1000yard.com/hof-recs/records.php One thing I really look at with any discipline is the aggregates...the 10 match agg records are really impressive....again these are 10 shot groups.

Armed Eye Doc Posted January 18, 2019 Author Report Posted January 18, 2019 Here is the "final" configuration unless I change things. It is complete with an awesome sling from @beachmaster, thanks Jacob.

98Z5V Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 Damn, I can't wait to shoot that thing at some distance! I'll have to run the 9.0mils of drop at 845 into MOA in my head, to get it right. x3.4377. Gonna be about 31 MOA I think. Fuk, my beer is slowing me down...
Armed Eye Doc Posted January 18, 2019 Author Report Posted January 18, 2019 I hope I can shoot it half as well as it should shoot.

98Z5V Posted January 18, 2019 Report Posted January 18, 2019 Doc, you'll probably want that scope alot more forward - try it out. I can't wait to shoot this beast.

It will make the trip to the Fall Shoot for sure.
beachmaster Posted February 4, 2019 Report Posted February 4, 2019 Doc, do you mind if I use that pic? That is a SUPER unique build! I bet that's going to be a heck of a flat shooter!
beachmaster Posted February 4, 2019 Report Posted February 4, 2019 Also, Idk if this is hijacking the thread, or if there is another thread about it... but how do you feel about that bipod?

Armed Eye Doc Posted February 4, 2019 Author Report Posted February 4, 2019 This one shows a little more of the accents. I moved the sling to the other side.
98Z5V Posted February 4, 2019 Report Posted February 4, 2019 Damn, that rifle came out great!... I can't wait to shoot that thing...

98Z5V Posted February 4, 2019 Report Posted February 4, 2019 Yep! I try to set the eyepiece up just about at the end of the receiver - that's a good start, and you can tweak it from there if the eye relief is a little funky. I already know the eye relief on that particular scope, though. ?
Armed Eye Doc Posted March 17, 2019 Author Report Posted March 17, 2019 I have a few other pics that I will post when I get home. But this ended up minute of golf ball at 100 yards. Susan hit that with her second shot on the gun. I hope I get to keep the gun.
colonelrhombus Posted March 17, 2019 Report Posted March 17, 2019 very nice, i just finished my own grendel on xmas day last year. i was literally looking at that same exact scope for mine last week but ended up going with a athlon 4-14 after finding a good deal on it.
Armed Eye Doc Posted March 17, 2019 Author Report Posted March 17, 2019 Here is slow motion video of first shot. VID_20190317_092100~2.mp4

Bigbull Posted March 18, 2019 Report Posted March 18, 2019 I would like to do a rifle with white accents or maybe stainless ones?
