Photo Of The Day and we admire Holt Works Photography’s work once again. I had no idea that Federal Standard 20150 Coyote Cerakote could look so good, with its warm orange/brown color. The 338 ARC looks a bit silly as a round, but it sure seems to be accurate and able to give the 300 Blackout a serious match.
The build details are as follows:
“338 ARC build in Federal Standard 20150 Coyote @cerakote
Howa 1500 mini 6.5 Grendel action
@mdttac21 30 MOA rail
@timney_triggers Howa 1500 trigger
@reptiliacorp CQG no-beaver tail grip
@americanriflecompany 34mm low rings
@vortexoptics Razor Gen 3 1-10x24 FFP scope
@btindllc PSR ARCA bipod
All from @brownellsinc
@preferredbarrels 8” 1-5 5R stainless 338 ARC prefit barrel
@jtacindustries Elf Owl chassis
@diligentdefenseco DTF-LTI 338/8.6 titanium suppressor
@hornadymfg 307gr Subsonic 338 ARC ammo”
Holt Works Photography’s own comment was:
“Wildly quiet, compact and accurate. First 5 round group is close to 1/2 MOA with a flyer in the group. Looking forward to stretching it out a bit.”

That's pretty!
Now that is some kind of awesome! Hopefully my next purchase, followed by 375 Raptor. Short quiet & subsonic.
