Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Who else likes .350 RMs?????????????

I am in the club with a Ruger M77MkII stainless/synthetic topped with a Leupold VXIII 2.5-8 and Warne rings. My brother bought the same rifle in blued/wood.

Currently shooting 250 gr Hornady Sps at about moa but I think I can get them better. May try the new Barnes 200gr TTSX, yes tipped triple shock.

Going to be difficult without spending the big bucks on an ultralight stock and maybe rebarreling or slimming the barrel profile also. My Custom KS rifles have both. The barrel contour seems much slimmer than the standard factory taper found on my M600 and M660 in 350RM. The KS stock weighs in at around 24ozs.

What's the empty weight on the Ruger MKII?

I'm plenty happy with my 350 at a hair over 7lb scoped- no lighter for me! Unless a McMillan compact is better at controlling recoil than the M7. This thing is lively with a 200 TSX and a good load of TAC.

Has anyone seen the new TTSX?

Mine's on a Rem long action in a Clifton bipod stock....kind of fond of it!!!

I was looking at the Clifton stock many years ago. Are they still made? I haven't been able to locate him.

No , Brent quit making them years ago and I've lost contact with him.

Neat stocks... not a heavy duty bipod , but dang handy when needed!

I have an all weather stainless in 350RM and the rifle itself weighs only 7 lbs. 3 oz. unloaded without the rings. The factory rings weigh a hefty 5 ozs themselves - total being 7 lbs. 8 oz. unloaded without a scope.

Would it not be nice to see some new reloading data with a 22" barrel and a variety of powders including new powders? The case has more capacity than a 35 Whelen in a shorter column, yet some books show less velocity, come on Hornady, Nosler, and Sierra.

Barnes shows some pretty stiff loads. They seem to like TAC.
