Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting 257 Creedmoor UPDATE

Yep, me too...

Blueprinted 700 LA with a 24" Brux in a Ti take off stock converted from ADL to BDL by me.

Smith was Ron Lampert, MN, mentioned by Jim Carmichael in his book, The Modern Rifle as "one of the country's top metal specialists". Ron had cut two Mauser actions, shortened one to mid length, took the pieces from that one and extended the other from std. to full magnum length. The work was exceptional, you couldn't see the welds. The short one is a .250 Savage, the lengthened one, a .375 H&H.

No matter where you place the .257R round in the box mag of this LA 700, feeding is as slick as any rifle I own and I have some good ones. Ron tuned the Walker trigger to perfection.

It shoots several loads very well. One of the best is the 100 TTSX over H-100V, referred by gunner500 as a "little buzz saw". It is a proven WT and hog killer. Note the COAL and velocity. H-100V is the speed champ in the Roberts. H-4350 also works very well, said to be more temp stable.
