OK...Greg had a Bart 1-7" 3B 27" blank on the shelf and it's rolling to Kali. Turn the bitch to Rem Sporterish(.620"-esque muzzle),short shank it,Deep Throat the crown at 23" and staple .100" freebore into the prick. Gun for .259" neck clearance,as it's gonna be an Alpha Show and it might get dirty.

Nabbed a Marty 45MOA 1pc rail(#306-56) from Mile High and it's rolling to Kali. Just weld it on fairly straight and poke screws in it for "looks".(grin)

If the receiver needs love,love it up as per your whim. PLEASE punch a seater stub with said throating and humor points awarded,for doing so with a Mean Mug. Fuck the finish...I'll rattle can the whole fucking works. I'm gonna be solely in LRP Mode,so don't fret bushing the bolt. Build it like you own it and your discretion/decisions is more than good enough for me. You don't gotta explain,just fucking do it.

I'll need "224 Speedmire" on one side and "Bart's FUCK Kriegers" on the other...mainly because it is true.(grin)

KungFu the shifter,by either working on the OEM,or adding new,but just make sure the bitch is WELDED in place to the bolt. P.S. and by the way,feel free to wire wheel any/all extra paint away,because there is likely "some" on it! I'll yard the trigger off and include a recoil lug.

She's gonna be a fucking Trend SETTER,I assure you.(grin)

Obliged..............

Extry bolt is a .378" that needs the handle welded/threaded and pin turned.

Should all arive together.

Actually,it'll be a new barrel on an old platform...so will be Faux Ti.

I REALLY like the Faux McMillan Terrains,but would wan't more contour,to balance their typical mass...……………….

Cleaned on the gun shed a bit this morning and it was better than any Christmas I have had. Found shit in boxes that I had bought before I left the Slope when I had cash on hand to buy such shit. Found all the parts to put together another 22 creed, forgot I had enough to build two and the first is a peach so I thought I better throw another together. Hawk Hill tube at 18" twisted tight, Savage ultralight action, MDT LSS, Oh ya, Alpha brass of course!

And the baby bolt is bushed, pin turned. Will be using the factory lug, it mics out within a couple tenths which is as close as I’ve seen a factory lug. Still have barrel work, bolt handle work, and the angry seater stub...

Hopefully once The Kali Krew is outta the mountains,they'll hang some pics and particulars of the build.

From what I've seen via pics slipped to me,it's rather Skookum...…………………...

Ok one more. I used some scrap 3” Rmax for packaging in a McMillan box. Worked great and might help others out. I know packing the things can be a pain.

I told him it's gonna almost be a fucking shame,to open tht purty packaging!

Alpha Virgins lay in wait,'17 is trembling on the shelf and there's more than a few moly coated 88's raising their hands for flight trials.

I'm not fretting nothing...……………………….

I might do that... Probably need to shuffle some rifles around a bit, but won't be till after hunting season.

You staying ADL on the TI stock? Will be interested in a weight, when the paint dries.

COAL is a non-issue as configured and ADL is warm/fuzzy to me.

Weren't built to be "LIGHT",just Utilitarian. My light one will be upon the next Montucky Donor I can find.

It'll be THE Favorite,by default...…………………..

Still too much fog,to shoot very far this morning,so I'm dabbling...while awaiting it to lift.

Glued and screwed right proper tight.




Was gonna paint the stock,but I like the 600 grit finish!(grin)

Groovin' on the whole enchilada.as it was well thunked out and executed PERFECTLY.

VERY happy with new parcel. Didn't even take the chronograph and forgot my camera...but didn't shoot much past the 1300yd line(wind).

Will yard it apart and bed it,then play with forend pressure,to settle it down even more. Have a trigger enroute and that prolly won't hurt Production either.

REALLY glad I did this and now need a Flyweight in Montucky.....................

If only because folks been asking.



Like anything/everything else,there's multiple routes to the Finish Line. While nobody LOVES bushing dies more than I,especially when paired with something as exceptional as Alpha...I can't like the route for Virgins,even if not driving false shoulders. The mail is HARD on Riggin' here,so everything gets necksized,to round same and equalize neck tension. To do so,I want an expander ball,because it's simply the ONLY way it'll happen.(grin)

So I drive a 90% neck length sizing via Redding 22-250AI Neck Die,for Virgins. After that and barring gross disfiguration,it's straight TiN expanderless sizing,to positive headspace.

Numerous ways to seat too and it mainly depends upon boolit profile. For 224 Speedmire 88's,I rather like the Redding 22-250AI Comp Seater. For 75's,I prefer the RCBS version of same(only in grey boxes).

All of my 22-250 AI's are SAD..................(grin)

Just dabbed the 'lug and let 'er float...which made groups nice and round.

Low ceiling again today and rain.



Wind just picked up and will get rid of the Pea Soup. Hasty trio at the 250yd line,MPAJ. backer wasn't hanging as pictured,the scribed line was horizontal,should that make a fuck to anyone.



Would like to poke to forend pressure,but cain't as configured,because while I KNOW it'd simmer down even more,it'd also bump POI higher and I'm bottomed out on the erector and would have a move,less a scope swap. I'm not really in love with the 3-9x,as it gets muddy at about 7.5x up. I LOVE Fixed Fucker rear parallax and miss it.

Should poke it in a gelcoat McMillan and really see what she'd do...but I ain't sad........................(grin)
