Thank you guys, I don't know how much hunting will get done with it. It's kinda of an over kill for anything I would shoot around here. I try to get all my Whitetail's with a Bow. But what I really had in mind when I built it, was just trying to make a low budget "capable" long range rifle. After it was all said and done, and I saw how low cost I got it all together. I kinda wish I would have spent a little more money and got a Shilen Match Grade barrel. But after all the reviews I've seen lately, on Savageshooter.com. Threads about the ER Shaw group buy deals, and range reports from customer's and searches I've done on here (Rustydust and others). I figured it wasn't a huge gamble to try another Shaw barrel. Never used one on a bolt, but my first AR had a ER Shaw and it was an EXCELLENT shooting rifle. I have to travel out to the western states for work from time to time. I'd really like to take this out to Utah or Idaho and play a few rounds of Rifle Golf with it...
