Built this rifle off a Core -15 lower with a Daniel Defense S2W 18 inch 1/7 Barrel and a DD BCG. Upper is from Spikes and the UPK and LPK is from Stag. Scope is a Simmons Aetec 3.8x12x44mm with sun shade. I mostly use it for hog and deer hunting. Burris Fastfire III is for close in stuff off the swamp buggy.

I got this rifle when I was 13 years old (1997) as a gift from my father. It was worked on by a great Miami FL area gun smith named Somarriba (www.somarriba.com/). He really turned a sow's ear into a silk purse. I've taken tons of deer and hog with this rifle in Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Oklahoma. Accurate, light weight, and dead nuts reliable. Hell, even the Tasco scope has done a great job and I haven't had the need to change it for something better because I keep having great luck with it. He did a free float glass bedded stock, trigger job, muzzle break, and lapped the bolt lugs.

Most importantly though, this rifle is a gift from my father and as such it will always hold a special place in my heart.

Rifle is stock and will hit sub MOA at 100 yards with good ammo. Not bad for a Walmart Special back from the 1999.

A rifle I built myself from a kit. Shoots great and is a blast and a half at the range... especially with kids. They love the huge smoke clouds of 100 grains of FFFg. Puts a smack down on hogs and is a joy to hunt with. Planning on taking it to Oklahoma for some deer hunting.

I put this build together especially for coyote hunting, and then had my gunsmith Duracoat it in Magpul Foliage Green.

It has a 20" Shilen .204 Ruger barrel, and sports a Bushnell Elite 6500 2.5-16X42 scope and Magpul ACS stock.
