Mine is the Ackley Improved version, based off a Sako m75 Greywolf with a PacNor Supermatch grade stainless barrel, cut to 24", fluted. All work done off a blank barrel by my gunsmith (Corlanes in Dawson Creek). I believe 1-10 twist. Great Shooter !!! I fireformed my 338-06AS headstamped Norma brass with medium/hot loads. In a pinch I could use new non fireformed brass and the rifle shoots good too.
I shoot 225gr AB's and TTSX's as this is what I built it to shoot. If I wanted 180gr bullets, I would just use my Sako m75ss 300WM.
If I was to build another and going lighter, I would still go Sako m75 rifle with a MacMillan Edge stock, a #3 barrel cut to 22" and fluted to shave some more weight. Reloads of 210gr TTSX's would be sweet or Swift Scirroco II's. 200gr AB's as well.
