In the world of precision shooting, custom-built rifles represent the pinnacle of accuracy and craftsmanship. The custom rifle we're spotlighting today is a marvel of modern engineering and design, tailored for the discerning marksman who demands nothing but the best. This rifle, chambered in the venerable .308 Winchester, is built around the highly esteemed Kelbly Atlas action, a benchmark in the industry for reliability and precision.

Chambered in .308 Winchester: A Classic Choice

The choice of .308 Winchester for this custom build is both classic and practical. This caliber is known for its excellent ballistics, manageable recoil, and widespread availability, making it a top choice for both competitive shooting and hunting.

The .308 Winchester is known for its excellent ballistics, firing bullets typically weighing 150 to 180 grains at a muzzle velocity of 2,600 to 2,800 feet per second. This results in a muzzle energy of approximately 2,600 to 2,800 foot-pounds. It offers a flat trajectory up to 300 yards and a ballistic coefficient between .400 and .500, ensuring stability and reduced wind drift. Its versatility and manageable recoil make it a preferred choice for various shooting disciplines.

Krieger Barrel: The Epitome of Accuracy The rifle sports a 24-inch Krieger barrel, a name synonymous with top-tier accuracy in the shooting world. This barrel, with a 1×11.25 twist rate, is meticulously crafted to stabilize a wide range of .308 Winchester loads, offering unparalleled precision.
