Had a great weekend in Wyoming. Used factory Hornady 123 Amax. First shot at 450 hit both lungs but didn't drop him. Another pill at 525 through the shoulders did.
The rifle started life as a S&W M&P-15 Sport. I started going Grendel with a used 28 inch Lothar Walther high power barrel and bolt. I had it cut back to 18 inches so I could carry it around, but its still quite heavy at ~13 pounds with scope.
Timney 3# Skeleton Trigger
Original S&W BCG
DPMS High rise upper (Cheap and stout!)
DPMS vented free float Handguard
Magpul PRS Stock
MonsterMan Grip (California featureless setup)
Accushot BT-12 QK Monopod
Harris Brenchrest 6-9 bipod
rifle gas system & spring, carbine buffer
Original S&W charging handle
Leupold Mark 4 Rings
Nightforce 3.5-15x56 NPR-2 with HS turrets and Zero Stop
Hornady 123 ammo chronos at 2480 from my 18 inch barrel.
For hunting I use a Swaroski range finder, Kestrel 4500bt, and my droid razor phone running the shooter app.
mods: feel free to move this to hunting, but I think builder's might get some ideas from my weird setup
