- Wyoming Gun Company’s Geoff Montgomery and Jeremy Scribner are on location at Platte River Rod and Gun Club for the finale of the Precision Hunting Rifle Build Series. We picked the Platte River Rod and Gun Club because these guys run an awesome facility with a large variety of targets from 100-1200 yards on their long range. They also have separate ranges designed for handguns and pistol caliber carbines as well. Today we are utilizing their long range, the steel targets on this range are placed at various distances and elevations in a very realistic hunting environment. We are field testing a Wyoming Gun Company custom 6.5 PRC built on a fully accurized Remington action with a double sleeved bolt, Badger Ordnance M-16 style extractor and dual ejectors, Proof Research Carbon Fiber 24-inch Barrel, and Jewell Trigger. This barreled action is glass bedded in a McMillan A3 Tactical Stock. A couple additions to this rifle are the Leupold VX-6 HD 4-24 X 52 optic, Harris Bi-pod and a TBAC Ultra 7 CB silencer. This rifle had approximately 45 rounds through it before this video, 20 rounds for the break in process as recommended by Proof Research, and 25 rounds after that. During the initial sight in process, we were able to achieve 1/4” five shot groups at Wyoming Gun Company’s Indoor 100-yard range. After the sight in process a chronograph was used to verify velocity, this information is needed create a ballistic data chart for this rifle. We are using factory Hornady Precision Hunter 143 grain ELDX ammunition in this rifle during this entire process. Geoff has built many precision rifles as a Professional Gunsmith and it is a testament to the quality of work being done when you can take a custom rifle that he has built out to the range and it will perform as well as, or better than expected, even when using factory ammunition. After completing the initial break in, and 100-yard sight in process at Wyoming Gun Company’s indoor facility we wanted to see how this precision rifle would perform at six hundred, and one thousand yards in an outdoor setting. We were fortunate to be able to get out to Platte River Rod and Gun Club on a calm morning to test this rifle in the field. There were some minor adjustments that needed to be made from the calculated ballistics, to account for the environmental conditions at the 600-yard target. This rifle shot three, 3-shot groups at the elk silhouette, all three groups were approximately 3” or just below ½ MOA, the final group ended up near the center of the intended target after fine tuning the elevation on the optic according to the ballistic data chart. After completing a successful group at 600 yards, we wanted to take advantage of the ideal conditions on this beautiful day in November and finish up the series on this particular custom build by testing this rifle’s performance out to one thousand yards. After a few small adjustments to the optic, we were able to achieve a 4-shot group measuring 10”, just under 1 MOA on the Buffalo silhouette 1000-yard target. Jeremy was the individual shooting the rifle in this video, this was the first time he had successfully shot at distances beyond 550 yards. This proves that even an individual who is not experienced in long range precision, using good quality factory ammunition, can attain a high level of success with a precision rifle that is built at Wyoming Gun Company by Professional Gunsmith, Geoff Montgomery.

That is one accurate hunting rig! Nicely done.

Very nice
Thanks!
Nice shooting! Keep up the videos 👍🏻
Really awesome grouping! You can't reasonably ask for better.
Please show next video in building the precision rifle....waiting on next step
This video was the last step we filmed. All other steps taken to build this precision hunting rifle are uploaded!

Start with this video and work your way through the entire series!
Great rifles- and great shooting Jeremy!
The rifle can't shoot better than the trigger man can aim. :)
Sub MOA Lightweight hunting rifles are not that easy to build and shoot. Because of the lack of barrel integrity. Shooting is a problem for most customers that don't practice much or think they are oh so good. Your company is doing a great job. Dealing with the john Q public is the toughest part! I like your stuff!
That is some amazing shooting there!
Who is holding breath with the shooter?
i know im asking randomly but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account?
I somehow lost the login password. I love any tricks you can give me
@Landon Ibrahim instablaster ;)
@Reyansh Trey thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Great vid! Subbed.
Awesome, thank you!
Must be exciting to build something, and then see it perform so well! Nice job building the rifle, and the shooter did his part as well. Great job guys!
Some people prob don’t realize just bc your rifle shoots 3/4 moa at 100yds, does not mean it will be worth a dang further down range.
What does the lightweight build weigh fully outfitted?
Didn’t catch the caliber of the frost rifle? I’m gonna be calling you guys….
Fellow casper-ite here. What are the attributes of using an accurized Rem 700 action in this build over say a lower tier big horn or defiance tenacity action? Is it even cost effective to accurize a rem 700 at this point anymore?
Some custom M700 clones have integral recoil lugs and/or pic rails. This, in theory, is desirable (but if properly torqued, bedded, and/or loktited, does it really matter?). With us, you're still coming in equal to or even under the price of any of those actions after all truing work is done and you have an experienced human checking everything during the process, ensuring the work is done right. I guess it's more of a custom thing rather than just using something you assume is good to go out of the box. Some of the best shooting rifles I know of are on trued M700s. You should stop by sometime and we can discuss in further detail. Thanks for watching!!
Whats the weight on the rifle you built? I will definitely be calling about truing a 700 LA. Great videos!
This one was around 9 pounds I believe. Thanks for watching!!
What reticle do you have in the vx-6hd?
Isn't sub moa true regardless of distance?
Yes, but don't expect a rifle/bullet that is capable of shooting one minute of angle at 100 yards to maintain the same mathematically extrapolated dispersion at 1000 yards.
