Shades of tan and brown Cerakote samples.  The Desert Sand (square plate on left) closely matches the tan in the stock.

Sawtooth Rifles #55/56/57 Cerakoted in Magpul Flat Dark Earth, with our custom mixed pattern on the stock. An example of our original color plan.  Our plan was to go with a bit less black on the stock shadowing.

The standard pile of parts picture.

VAIS Micro Brake installed.

Prepped for Cerakote, the parts hang in the spray booth ready for Sniper Green.

Finished up, Sawtooth Rifles #32 poses for some pictures before being picked up by the customer.

Sniper Green, a close match to McMillan's green in their GAP camo.




Our customer's first 100 yard group after a few sighters zeroing the scope.  This was with Barnes factory ammo.  Nice shooting, Sir. Subtracting the .308 bullet diameter from his measurement yields a .131" group.  (customer supplied photo - thanks)

300 Yard group, using hand loaded Berger bullets, 190 VLD's I believe, this calculates to a sub 3/4 MOA group at typical hunting range.  (customer supplied photo - thanks)

Another 100 yard group with a worked up handload. (another customer supplied photo, and another thanks)
