Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Shipped one to Shaen today

Hig shaen did my 223ai with mueller 1/8 but on a pleb 700 action.

I am quite happy with it

Wtf this prairie dog shoot you talking about ??

No kidding...I’m ears up and waiting for an invitation to play “Smote a Pdog” with Higgy.

Shaen has a 1/2 breed build heading his way from me next week. Rem/Sendero Bart tube @ 1-8 landed at his door already. I have a Tik SS CTR in 6.5 CM en route to me, then too Shaen to rebarrel to 22” at the threads and chamber in 6.5x47 Lap.

Doing a 5 flute on the barrel for styling and weight loss - 🙄

Maybe do black Cerakote over the SS barrel. Then go red on the action. I’ll wear heels 👠 when I shoot it. Keeping the CTR furniture to withstand the “sorry’s” that will happen.

The plan is to have a nice handling UTV/ATV rifle.

That sounds like a good one Beav. I went thru my Tikka phase pretty heavy, but the only one that has stuck is the CTR. it’s about the best truck or beat on gun.

b, as you know, I took some lumps on that Franchi box gun, in 6.5 PRC that I bought on a whim.

I decided after looking at 1400 rounds of loaded, Lapua 123g Scenar ammo - That a handy 47 Lap would be a good play.

I, too, once owned a CTR in 6.5 CM. It was boringly accurate. I sold it to a pard. His girl now hunts with it.

Full circle of life with another CTR.... Lol

🦫

I've a 223 CTR S/S 20" in the backseat,but Handy Dandy rides up front.................

Yup. I sold most all of mine then decided to try the 223 CTR. Wished I’d gotten one years ago. They are a no fluff gun I can like.

Having that much ammo on hand would cause me to do the same myself.

I’ll bite...Which rifle is Handy Dandy?

🦫

Have lots of them. Purty tough not to reach for THE Carbon Queen stoked with 88's. Hint...................

This will be the third .223AI Shaen has done for me.

Headed to prairie dog Mecca mid May.

Hope the weather is good.

I haven’t sent anything to him but need to. I’ve a mini that needs recontoured and threaded….

I've got all the parts for a 7 SAUM build sitting here that need to get sent off.

My shipping department is on strike at the moment however.

I feel your pain.

LOL

I ordered 24 lbs of Varget today and I'm wondering if my accounts payable is next!

Hey butthole, show some respect that your thread has been over taken by me.

😝🦫

Sorry Beav!

Man, I haven't been called a butthole since I was a kid.

Thanks for the memories!

WOLVERINES!

Fire forming 40 gr V max at 3,715 fps in the 1-7" Brux.

Bottom left group was with the Magnetto Speed.

Didn't see any puffs of smoke Dogcatcher223.

Right!

I have got 4150 fps in .223 35 gr Vmax with 18 gr Blue Dot...erratic with primer falling out of every other shot.

I have gone faster with H110, but the chrono will not trigger.

Does Shaen have a website?

Yep
