Excellent work Evelio and congrats to all of those proud owners! They sure are some pretty rifles!

Now in terms of where the lead meets the targets... do any of those now famous rifles and their owners have any 5 or ten-shot, 5 group averages they care to post?

Here's your chance to make us shooters (of lesser rifles that group 2 to 2.5 inches at 100 meter averages) REALLY start to drool?

Happy holidays shooters!

Since mine just has the factory barrel and I don't shoot for nuthin' off the bench, I'll let the others post their best groups. 40 meter groups are so routine that it's just no fun and I haven't bothered with 100 meters because the rifle is just plain better than I will ever shoot.

For me, the real attraction of an Evelio rifle is fit. A box stock 1712 is so close to mechanically perfect that improvement comes very, very hard, so the real value Evelio delivers is adapting it to you and Silhouette competition while staying within the rules. It isn't so much that he makes the rifle shoot better (though he does), but that he helps you shoot the rifle better.

Boy I can't wait to see/feel mine!

I'm glad I chose the colors I did, esp now after seeing Paul's stock.
My 1712 is getting a full orange forend, with black/orange marbling to the butt.

I lucked out and got mine done before the mold went at Robertson's (one of the last three)!

Same boat, Steve, but there can't be anything prettier than Packer green and gold! I believe after they made mine, THEY broke the mold! Anyway, vamos, Evelio, and Feliz Navidad
