The Boswell Custom .300 WSM KUIU Ultralight Rifle arrived this week. Steve was right when he told me the photos of this gun do not do it justice. Steve’s work is meticulous. The Zeiss Conquest 3.5-10 X 44 Rapid-Z 800 was a great recommendation by Zeiss for this gun build.
I took it to a friend’s private range that extends out to 700 yards.
The first two shots at 100 yards from a Lead-Sled were touching as you can see where I am pointing. The third shot was shot off a bench rest and was 1/4″ to the right.
I took two shots at 700 yards and both bullets were within 3 inches of each other. The Zeiss Conquest Rapid-Z 800 made this shot distance manageable. Proof this light weight gun can shoot at distance. Steve set this gun up to shoot a 168 Grain Barnes TTSX Bullet.
I was also pleasantly surprised at not only the accuracy for such a light weight set up but how easy this gun was to shoot, the recoil was much less than I expected. This is going to be a fantastic mountain hunting gun.
Cash’s first trip to the range and he loved every second of it.
The next stop for the Boswell KUIU Ultra-light rifle will be Edmonton today and then up to Norman Wells, NWT Monday morning, then into Base Camp at Arctic Red River Outfitters on Tuesday and into the Mackenzie Mountains via Super Cub for 10 days of sheep hunting.
Good luck and post some sheep pictures!
Shoot straight and have fun, look forward to the story and pic’s.
Cheers,

Ear protection for the little tyke, excellent. Should have extended it out another 180 yards and you could have said “shot it out to 1/2 mile” Yikes!! Shoot straight, Good luck and can you say lots-o-pictures
My son Cashton wants a T shirt like Cash’s !

I’ve been up in that country and I’ sure you will enjoy it… so long as you have plenty of ThermaCells!
Good luck!
Jason,
Looks like the rig turned out to be all you hoped she would be. Seems like a fantastic mountain rig. Good luck, and dont make it too easy, back-up if you have to! Love that picture of your son Cash, that’s priceless. Can’t wait till my little guy can tag along with me also. He’s only 6 months yet.

Hi Jason,
Okay, so running down the checklist – best gear out there, check, impressively accurate and good looking rifle, check, years of experience, peak physical conditioning, and the right mental attitude to get it done no matter what – check, check, and check. You do realize you’ve eliminated all excuses, right? Good luck on the hunt; I can’t wait to see the pictures and hear the stories!
Take care,
Kit
What is your assessment of the Boswell rifle after toting through the mountains of NWT?
Hi Dick,
This rifle is as good as it gets for mountain hunting. It is light, durable, fits perfectly and is scary accurate. Plus it looks great. Steve does amazing work and I highly recommend his rifles. Let me know if you have any specific questions I can answer for you.
Jason
Thanks, Jason. I think I will get in touch with Steve and pay him a visit. I live about an hour away from him.
