Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats 6.5x47

Do you ever run out of gun safe spots?

Pretty slick.

Thanks, but not since I downsized.....


Actually, this is a re-do of the one I just put together last month in a McM Classic stock.

With added weight of the Nightforce, rings, and bases on top, it wasn't the best match in the Classic, so I bedded the barrel action in this Sendero stock, and gave it a new paint job. With the added length and width of the stock, it made it mo better for it's intended purpose.

I like that stock - Nice stick.

Thanks....

Good time to post it with the LR hunting, and 6.5 is king over the 270, bashing going on....

Perfect throating, and fits a 2.800" mag box, trumps a CM or 260....

My next project next year will be a 6.5x47 Good looking gun.

123 Amaxes at 3030 shoot OK.....

Nice shootin

Like that paint job Al.

Those 123's are working for you!

Thanks Mike.

Yup, got 'em working well.

Very nice Al.

Thanks Stoney.

This was the gun I was trying to sell, but got tired of the lowballers, so fuc 'em, I'll shoot it.

How about another "Take that mofo", delivered from 715 yards.....

Very nice indeed. Great shooting! Oh nice stock BTW.

I'll go $550 and that's my best offer.

Tanner

Bringing lowballing to a whole new level.....

Another reason for the "47"......from 1003:

Good shooting there aalf...still for sale? (grin)

The lowball offers do get old.

What are the Spec's on the gun....NICE shooting and good looking stick..

Look for aalf's ad - click his name and view recent post, for specs

S/S 700 short action, 26" Brux #5 contour 8 1/2" twist, bedded and painted Sendero stock, Nightforce 20 MOA base, Seekins rings, 3.5-15x50 Nightforce scope.

Cool 47 aalf.
Do you have flags at the middle and target end of your range ?

I suppose it depends on whether you're the lowballer or lowballee....

I usually put a flag at the targets, but nothing in between as I don't have a pole tall enough.....

That's some pretty darn good shooting with a beautiful rig. Well done.

Any issues using the rubber bungees to hang the steel? Bullet splatter doesn't destroy them or at least not very fast?

Awesome rifle and neat pics.

Bullet splatter destroys most materials that aren't hardened metal, if the material is in the same plane as the plate. If the bungee is slightly behind the plate because the hook is inserted from behind, it'll be okay.

The biggest problem is pieces of bullet jackets imbedding in the rubber acting like razor blades. You learn real quick to not be sliding your hand on them.

I prefer them to chains as they're cheap and easy to set up.

Even better, they're free if you don't mind dodging traffic.....

Bungee road kill is almost upon us, soon the roads will be littered with them. Grins...
