What a super project, I can't wait.
Gonna be a beast Big Jack. Would love to see pics as she comes together perhaps even a video to see the recoil it will generate.
I'll post as I go for sure. Just about fell off my chair when I found out the target action is going to run $850. Still trying to locate the right one!
I agree... a video would be cool to see.Quote:

Talked to Jerry at Gagnons and he had a nice Savage model 12 F TR in 308 with a Bushnell Elite Tactical 4.5-30 sitting on top. I did my research and it checked all the boxes for a precision build;
- Target action single shot single port
- Target Trigger
- Large Shank
- Good stock
The scope is also going to be a good one I think.

This is a behemoth of a gun. It should absorb the recoil well.
Now just waiting for barrel kit!
Nice.
Savage makes a great, heavy built action and I have that model scope in 6-25 so 4-30 should be even better.
Great maybe you can show me how to use the turrets. That is something I never have done much with!
Be glad to help wherever I can.
Started to do some digging and I realized I have disregarded some of the other powders I can use.
I am going to play with some slower burning powders.
One fellow on another board posted an 1.5 inch group at 600 yards which is nuts
That's insane even if shooting a finely crafted custom rifle never mind a muzzleloader.Quote:
