I use a Remington 788 (22-250) with a Weaver k6 scope. Nothing fancy but it does the job, along with either my cross-sticks or bipod. 97 ford pickup (2X4) - white so it blends into the snowdrifts. 7X32 binocs and my crit-r-calls. What more can a guy want?

I bet it took balls. It looks like it was worth it, though. Such a trade off-- those stock barrels are pretty shiney...

Thanks for those pics. You can post pics of both i dont care. Lets see how you gun 'em and run 'em. Im thinking about going out tonite. Maybe just sit with the shotgun. Right now im thinking im mostly looking for a gun in .22-250.

Here's a pic I took yesterday of my .204Ruger. 700 Remington barreled action- sporter contour. Paid $360 for the gun new in box in July 2008 and sold most of the original parts for approx $100 total. Stock is a Boyd's JRS laminate ($99 + $8 can of crackle paint and poly sealer), bases/rings are Talley one-piece ($30), Shilen trigger ($75), scope is Weaver V16 ($260), Tubb speedlock firing pin/spring ($45). Fully accurized incl Holland pillars added, bed w/ Devcon, lugs and bore hand-lapped, muzzle re-crowned, paint on bolt/barrel/action is DuraCoat ($20 total)... some other tinkering. Anyway, shoots 1/4" MOA (5 shots).

pilgrim, i got dizzy reading that great picture

BnB,

Thanks. The intent behind my post had a bit to do with itemizing how much it doesn't costs to accurize if you do yourself. Getting that rifle 'right' also challenged me some (so seeking validation of sorts ). Also took me a while to finally shoot at something with it, which is now behind me while the coyote in pic is one from Dcoy's double on Fri AM. I did drag it the "second mile" for him. Anyway, hard to go wrong if you start with a good deal on a 700 rifle or action.

Brod_Man, just want to add that it's useful to look at all of the options incl CZ and Savage if you're interested in value and not interested in the fine tuning aspects.

My rig is a Remington 700 BDL 22-250, not sure on what the gun itself cost because my Dad bought it then we did some trading and I got the better end of the deal,lol. It has a BSA Contender 6x24 scope, which I really like, expecially for the price. Use to have a Nikon but times are hard and moneys tight. The trigger is getting ready to get adjusted on it but other than that its pretty much all stock. My back up rig & my oldest boys rig is a Stevens model 200 223,it has a BSA scope on it also. It is all stock except the paint job I did on it, and its only 2 weeks old and I only have about $350 in it. My brothers rig is a DPMS AR-15 223, he is getting a new scope for it but its still stock he bought it 2 weeks ago also.He has about $850 in it right now.
