Tell me about it. A friend of mine has one. While he was sighting it in I was standing next to him looking through the spotting scope, and it rocked me every time he pulled the trigger.

I've got 1k in it including the mark iv scope going on it. I also got a VERY nice dragbag and two boxes of shells with it. The builder showed me $1700 worth of receipts he had in it. Right time right place.

Don't get into long range shooting, you will go broke fast. My first rifle was $3,200 fully built

That 300 RUM is fun to shoot...I built one as a hunting rifle 5 years ago, topped it with Leupold glass, and my handloads go under 1/2"...

If you think the 300 will rock you, though, shoot the 338 RUM! I've shot everything up through a 46 Rem Mag, and the big 50, but there's something about that 338 that rocks me everytime!

I took her out to the range yesterday. Sighted in at about .75 inches above bullseye at 150 yards. Kicks like a mule and deafening. My shoulder is still sore. I LOVE IT!!!

Nice toy....
I just got a new toy as well. A 2" snub nose .357 revolver loaded with hollow points for those pesky home intruders. A friend of mine is putting together an AR15. Fun stuff!
