Here sits my new GA Precision I just wanted to share a few photos with you guys because my wife just thinks it's another rifle.. Negative...

Tured Remington action with Badger bolt handle
McMillian A2 stock
Bartlein 5R 22' Barrel
Badger M4 BM
Badger 20moa Rail
Seekins 30mm Rings
Weaver EMDR FFP 3-15x50
TAB Sling
Harris 6-9 S with pod lock

The two top holes in the target were the first two rounds fired from the gun. After the second shot (the lowest) I made one more correction then shot a 5 round group which resulted in ragged hole above the red. Just for giggles and to confirm zero I placed my point of aim at the 9 and fired 5 more rounds :) Sorry it's sideways.

Yesterday I went to zero the rifle and @ 100 yards it's honestly boring it will put 5 rounds on top of each other without me trying. After I got my zero I backed up to 500 yards but I didn't get a chance to crono my rounds. I fired a few but my spotter was telling me I was high by about 1/2 mil my initial dial was 3.4 Mils. I had estimated that I would be getting around 2650 with 168g FGMM and used a app on my phone with those numbers.. My guess was wrong it should of been more like 2720ish which would of given me a correction factor close to 3 mils give or take a .10th. Anyways it got dark pretty fast because it was so overcast last night. I hope to have her doped to 1000 yards as soon as my batch of 175g FGMM comes in and I will do better range report. I am looking for other guys around the Savannah area to meet up with who are also interested in LR shooting.. Don't hesitate to PM me maybe we can shoot together sometime.

Thanks guys!

You can most deff have a rifle built cheaper using diff parts and maybe another smith but the boys @ www.gaprecision.net do it right..
 
Krylon can be your friend too lol.. As much as I love putting krylon on **** I don't think i'll be doing it to this any time soon.

Haha! Yea I think I am going to pass on the rattle can for this one! The stainless barrel and action are driving me crazy though. It shouldn't, but does.

Not as nice as yours but here she is in all her stainless glory!
