Custom Precision Rifle:

I'm building a custom precision rifle chambered in 5.56mm (.223). Here are some of the components being integrated:

  1. Action: Savage M-12 Bolt Action (short), the ejector resembles the Mauser 98
  2. Barrel: M-12 (5.56mm) 1" diameter HEAVY, 26" in length, Button Rifled (1:9 RH) to stabilize yawing bullets up to and including 70+ grains
  3. Optics: Mili-radian reticle, range estimation, 4-24X40
  4. Stock: CHOATE ("ultimate-sniper") carbon fiber, pistol grip, adjustable cheek-piece and butt-pad, mono-pod adjustment beneath butt of stock, serrated fore-stock with contoured grip, angled nose-piece with sling swivel stud, bi-pod attachment and accessory rails.
  5. Trigger: since Savage's (non-accutrigger) triggers tend to be "creepers" I'm installing a Rifle-Basix target and sniper trigger assembly. While the accutrigger is amazing, it's not what I'm looking to put on this rifle.

Too much lingo for my little brain! Have you considered linking a dictionary (with pictures...done in crayon) to your blog?

Also, I hope you know how blessed you are to have a girl who shares this unique interest of yours! Wow, Courtney. You are one of a kind! Treat her well, Joey.
