Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Let's see the "Lightweight" Long Range Rigs

Hawke Frontier 4-16x42SF

Jordan, that rhino camo looks great! Where did you order your bolt knobs from? I need on on my 243AI

11.5 lb 300 RUM
Rock 26"
DE cheekpiece and brake
McMillan HTG
NF scope , rings , base

Thanks! McMillan does good work

The bolt knobs are from Karl Kampfeld. They are the knurled Campfire knob. He'll ship them directly to us in Canada for a VERY reasonable price.

Girls, yellow's where its at :D, I like that Varmint muchly Jordo. I've been keeping an eye in the EE for one but they dont pop up often.

in progress............

Awesome rifle there, eh! I love that color scheme.

Not real light, but no need for heavy barrels with a Sako 75 in 300 WBY Mag with a 26 inch barrel topped with a Swarovski Z-6 3-18X50 with BRH reticle...

Rock the house bubba!

Dober

Thanks gentlemen...it started out life as a NIB 7mm-08..never shot it. Had a friend take it down to the action, true it , lap it install a Bartlein #3 6.5 barrel on it and chamber it in 6.5x47 Lapua. Had another friend flute the bolt and barrel then install the bolt knob. Bedded in a B&C Alaskan II stock. Every other one he put together shoots....hope this one does as well. Just have to break it in and work up a load.

Not as pretty as Shrapnel's but I ain't got aviators either

65BR,

Very nice shooter.

You'll find one if you're patient

The Varmint is going to see some Atlas/AI mags shortly, and then it'll be done until the barrel needs to turn into a 6.5 bore, chambered in .260 AI Unless of course I decide that the bolt and barrel need fluting before then. *grin*

I'm bummed knowing that my .308 barrel will last another 4k rounds in all likelihood... Sucker is so fun to shoot, but I REALLY want a 6mm Creedmoore!

Its first blood. An Ibex at 758

That doesn't mean you need to send the 308 down the road....Keep it or you'll be kicking yourself in the azz later...

Not the .308, just the tube the setup as a whole is perfect and will likely see a multitide of barrels in its day.

I do wonder if things get to the point that 308,223, 9/45 ammo/guns are banned, but if it gets that bad, it's all moot.

Nice 6.5 above, looks like Tanner is working his way in that direction, 30, 7mm, 6.5 next

a fast 7 and a medium 6mm like a 6 Creed would be a good pair for what I do.

muglia,

What does that thing weigh?
