Here is my dedicated long range hunting rigs� 270 Allen Mag And a .338 Allen Mag...

338 Lapua 30" ABS barrel, Defensive Edge Brakes adds another 1 5/8 inches, Rem 700 action set up with a Seekins Detachable box magazine to accept a loaded cartridge length of 3.9 inches. At present a NXS 5.5X22X50 scope sits on top but, as soon as I get the rings a S&B 5X25X56 PMll will be sitting on top

They all look very nice.

wow, I feel under gunned..... back to the drawing board!

308 in HTG, 30-06 in A2


308 in A5, with 1120 yard target, shooting 208gr AMax


30-06 at play


15x25" target at 1025 yards


10-20 mph full-value wind at work, two hits out of 12 shots at 1025 yards. 210 Berger VLD at 2650 fps.

Looks like you have it going your way. Very nice.

very nice indeed. beautiful shooting iron too!

What is an "Allen Mag"? That is a new term to me.

IIRC cases based off the RUM brass. Kirby Allen is the smith, over at longrangehunting.com if I have it all right... I will be corrected if I"m wrong.

Thanks Jeff, how much more does the Allen give you over the standard RUM?

Thanks ss7mm, that pretty much clears up any gray!

My 700 built from the ground up by Greg Tannel. McMillan bedded the barreled action in their Lazzeroni stock. Krieger barrel chambered with a 300WM .337nk Lapua reamer. NightForce NSX 5.5x22x50. Vais brake. I broke my ankle followed by surgery two days prior to it arriving, unfired as of yet.


APS, Kirby Allen makes his own line of magnums from the RUM case. He can be found at LongrangeHunting.com forums.

That's me with my old match rifle - a .308 on a Model 70 action with a 30" Krieger. Good rifle, built by Jim Cloward.


My latest LR rifle - a nice .300 WSM Model 70 Coyote I picked up used last year. It's a good one! Hoping to use it for mule deer this year. Loads are looking good.


Old Faithful, dubbed "The Green Machine" I've been shooting this .308 for about 12 years now, and have worn out several barrels in that time. Likely my favorite all-around rifle. I've used it for varmint & coyote hunting as well as mule deer other game. Have also shot many matches with it, sometimes doing pretty well, other times failing to measure up to what the rifle can do.

Regards, Guy

This is my mini-me long range rig. Tikka T-3 stainless Varmint in .223 with a 6.5x20 MD Alaskan Guide scope. Black duracoat on all metal with coyote tan and black on the stock. Still relativly new, only about 200 rounds through it but it was going 1/2moa at 600 yesterday with the first load I made up for it, 75gr Amax over Varget. I grabbed the scope more as an evaluation but it was deadon with comeups and repeatability.

value that Cloward, there are not many around like Cloward!
Jeff

Jim Cloward is a very special gentleman who has made an indelible mark on long-range shooting. He richly deserves the respect oft accorded him.
