Nice rifle! I am a huge fan of the Lancer carbon fiber hand guards. I have them on five rifles and have help friends build two more with them.
Looks like it will shoot!! In for range results.

First time out! Bore sighted, checked it at 50 yards then went to 100. Shot five and walked it down.[ATTACH=CONFIG]9200[/ATTACH]

How is the tracking on the Vortex scope?
New thunder Stick! - Wafavre2 - 06-11-2017
Thanks Guys!
This is my second Vortex. The first was for a .17 HMR and is a Viper 4x16-44 HST and I give it 4.5 stars only because it's too much for the .17. The Razor is top shelf and I have Leupold on the rest of my Rifles and the Razor I like best. At 100 yds the HD 5x20-50 on 20x is so clear and crisp. The tracking is spot on if you click it 2 MOA right its dead on.
Here are 2 targets I shot today the first is Hornady 123gr. factory Amax and the second is Wolf 100gr.

Nicely done! I am a big fan of Vortex as well. I used to be a die hard Leupold fan until some years ago I met Scott Parks and got a chance to shoot some of their glass. I still have my Leupolds but they don't get as much use as my Vortex scopes do.
Any who, nice shooting!

Looks great. That's an impressive group for wolf, glad to see that potential for $ .23 a round.
New thunder Stick! - bj139 - 06-12-2017
Do those targets have a 1" diameter circle in the middle?
If so, they are impressive groups.
New thunder Stick! - Wafavre2 - 06-12-2017
Thanks,
No they are 2.00" across.

Did you bed the barrel/receiver with Loctite?
New thunder Stick! - Wafavre2 - 06-13-2017
I have YHM Billet receiver and did not true it. I placed the receiver on the Magpul receiver block with the barrel pointed straight up and used blue loctite on the barrel only and torqued the nut per instructions, three times and then timed the nut using a drill bit that just passed through the nut and receiver.

Beautiful rifle! We'll done!

Also helps if the moon is directly overhead
