Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats What are you building in 2014?

My new coyote killer.....

Them poor bastids.

300 h&h on a m1917 enfield

In 2014 I have only barreled (3) rifles, all of them Mosin Nagants.
As soon as I finish this 300WM I am on, I can't wait to get back to Mausers, M70s, Rem700s, and Sav 110s..... anything but another Mosin:(

28) 7mmRM on Mosin Nagant with Rem700 take off barrel
29) 223 on Mosin Nagant with Rem 700 .222 take off barrel
30) 300 Win Mag Krieger on Mosin Nagant

Clarkm, I hope you'll show us some more photos as the work progress'. Those will be some interesting rifles.

Yep.

That is going to be a cracking little rifle.

TCI, I remember positive things about your posts from 10 years ago at another forum.

The two things I find interesting about the builds of this year are:
1) The .223 runs single shot with a manual lifter that falls out of the way for bottom port ejection.
2) The Mosin Nagant has cam surfaces at the front and rear of the ejection port. Unfired 3.34" ammo will not eject. The stock and thus the scope would have to be removed to unload. I made a button that over rides the ejector and allows the bolt to move further back. The ejector uses the interrupter spring and this button uses that spring for a third function, button return. Here is a video showing that with the 7mmRM

I just got 2 back from the smith. A 260 AI on a stainless Remington S/A with a 22" Brux 8.5 twist, set in an Edge.

The other is a 243 AI using the new barrel off of the stainless S/A 700. Had it cut to 21" and put it in a TI Take off.

Sorry for the poor cell phone pics.

Those are a couple of really nice rigs.

6mm'

What contour on the Brux and what does it weigh?

28-Nosler

Just thinking --

RDW, I don't have a really accurate scale, just a sping type meat scale but it was right at 6 lb 2 oz best I could tell with the Talleys. It is a #3 contour

The 243 AI weighs about an oz or 2 more with a 1" shorter tube.

I was a little spooked by the amount of copper I was getting with the Brux with the first few shots but after 8-9 it cleans up really easy.

It is my first Brux and it shoots 123 SST / AMAX and 140 Hornady Interlocks sub .5 fireforming.

I had to try 3 with fireformed cases using a load that has proven to shoot in my Borden 260 AI and that group went .317".

It sounds like you have a shooter.

When you have the opportunity, would you measure the muzzle?

I have a #3 223 (.660" at the muzzle) in a Ti take-off stock, it shoots great and cleans up easy. I thought it was a bit chunky so I dropped to a #2 when I ordered a .243 and .264.

The barrel is 22" 1" shank and .640 at the muzzle.

We'll not a 300 savage.........308 winchester as it turns out.

just looking for a discontinued Dakota 76 Varmint single shot with a 223 bolt face

Savage SS short action. H&S M-24 stock. McGowen 26in fluted Sendero taper in 7mm SAUM. TPS 20moa base and TPS rings. Thinking about the Bushnell LRHS for an optic.
