After having so much fun shooting ELD with my .338LM and after trying out a couple big rifles in the last three weeks, I finally took the plunge...
It's a custom .50BMG on a Barnard action and trigger, nestled inside a Macmillan Big-Mac stock. It has a Lilja match barrel finished at 34" with an ATRS big brake. I will be adding a Versa-Pod and some glass later on.
Damn, this calibre is expensive! I'm getting a new press and have to "up-size" all of my tools. It looks like I won't be firing it this year though. I want an ATACR and a Spuhr mount, and that will take some time to save for. And the reloading bench will need some reorganizing through out the winter months. I hope to be doing preliminary load testing next spring. And hopefully shooting well beyond the mile. And, I need to find a hard case big enough.
.....and....it's only my kids inheritance ...lol
