hey guys welcome to Eastman's gear lab this week we are going to be introducing
you to In-Rut rifles this is a rifle that is going to give you sub MOA groups
straight out of the box it is a custom rifle at a lower price point and so
you're not going to be getting into that expensive place you know that five six
seven thousand dollar custom rifle but it is a rifle that you're going to be
able to take to the field you're going to be able to use it's going to be a
comfortable hunting rifle we reviewed this rifle in the December January issue
of Eastman's hunting journal and today I want to take the time to introduce you
by video to this rifle and show you some of its qualities and some of the
features
this In-Rut rifle is built around the Remington Model 700 action this is a
great action and arguably one of the most used and most custom rifles are
built around this particular action the best part about it is is very smooth
there's no gap in the headspace on this particular rifle that has the six and a
half by two 84 caliber and let's be honest here every single one of us has
had to take a follow up shot at an animal of one point or another because
in the field it happens last thing you want to be worrying about when you're
taking the follow-up shots at that buck or bull of a lifetime is whether or not
your action is going to be smooth and whether the round is actually going to
get caught in the chamber or anything like that that's not an issue with this
gun it's a nice smooth action and it's what you would expect for taking that
next step up and rifle next piece that we get to when we're moving away from
the action and into the business end of this rifle is goes from chamber all the
way out to this match grade steel barrel now I appreciate the match grade steel
and this finish because I hunt in a lot of conditions especially in September
and those early conditions where you can get a lot of rain and I appreciate a
rifle that really has this good finish because it's not going to rust it's
something that's going to be well taken care of
I'm also an ounce counter so this fluted barrel very nice because it cuts down on
weight and it also helps dissipate heat moving on to the end of the barrel we
have a recessed target crown now this is one of those features that takes this
rifle the next step up above and off the shelf rifle that's going to help you be
one of those pieces that gets this rifle into that sub MOA target category
now moving away from the mechanics on this this rifle we have a custom pillar
blast vetted stock now for the layman that means that there's not going to be
things wiggling around you're not going to have a lot of movement here you're
going to have a stock that's firmly attached to the action to the barrel and
it's going to make sure that the stronger that attachment is the more
accurate is going to be in the real simple terms next up we have the
variable that can cause the most pain the most problem for most shooters I've
had my fair share of issues when I want to jerk a trigger that's just one of
those things that happens because so many guys you're working on these rifles
that have trigger pound weights that are just way too high this rifle comes with
a dual trigger that is finely tuned it's a trigger that you're going to be able
to squeeze off a round and you're not going to jerk that rifle a lot of times
it's hard to take human air out and takes a lot of practice to get human air
out one of the first places that you can do that is getting your trigger adjusted
and looked at again this is a rifle that comes straight from the shop custom
built so after the glass bedding and after the work that you have done on a
stock rifle to get there this rifle is there now again I will emphasize diamond
ounce counter and I like to cut weight any place that I can I mean cutting
ounces you're cutting down pounds and pounds mean pain when you're hiking into
the backcountry and so looking at this rifle come straight over to the bolt and
you'll see that there holes milled in that cut a couple ounces so if I can cut
a few ounces off of my rifle I'm going to and you can't put a dollar figure on
that because when you're comfortable in the backcountry you're gonna hump better
and every ounce that you can take off matters alright so it's time to put a
few more rounds downrange with this In-Rut rifle
