Thanks Boxer! That's a cool rig for sure.

Well done on the cuttin'...


Travis

I like that one. Any problems getting a 700 to feed a .284?

Doosh,

It never ain't not a pleasure,when you feel compelled to flaunt your copious stupidity...if only because it's not an act. I savvy that you are in awe on many levels,hang feverishly upon my every word and that it reliably surfaces a number of your insecurities,which you wield like a Mall Ninja's sword as you live vicariously in wanton angst. Quite a spectacle to grant you the bandwidth to wax eloquent on all,under the auspice of feigning a clue. Hardly a secret,that noone writes purtier than I and that I paint a clear/concise picture in the most succinct of manners. I get it that you haven't the faculties to keep pace with the breadth of intel and are forced to use yourself as a barometer of evaluation,which is the most slippery of slopes. Take notes and apply same,quit falling for the ruse of "thinking" for yourself,it ain't purty.

Mebbe you and JeffO oughtta consider a chart,if only to put all into perspective,so you Do-Nothing Boobs can quantify your nothingness. Happy Imagination to you and let's hope a fire is lit in same and that you remain powerless to refrain commenting through contrived notions of your pretend World. Looking forward to your penning a right proper School Marm concoction,illuminating more of your "knowledge","experience" and "intellect". Feel free to insert as much Imagination as you deem requisite,so as to curtail the realities of your couch riding/BonBon eating "Adventures". Bless your heart.

Only fair to add reality,if only to fuel that Imagination of your's.



Laffin'!

It's got a Wyatt's box (3.00" inside). My coal is something like 2.980", and no issues.

9 pounds 12 oz. This is my 25-06 and I just added the 4-16 Black Diamond. She loves the 110gr Accubombs!

new one...

Paul,

Nice ride. 7 RM right?

yup, 7 RM. going to load up some for it tomorrow.

This was a great thread! Let's do a little revival!

This one ain't for 1000+, but it gets it done for a little longer shots. 7.5 lbs, 280 Rem, 162 AMAX~2800 fps. Vari X IIc with an M1.





And hopefully this one will perform at range... 270 WSM.

Nice rifle Tanner. Your sisters rifle looks great with that new scope on it....

Got some Talleys on the way, and then maybe a T.I. takeoff in the future.

6.5x47L

And this is what it will do from 1200 yards:

Holy smokes! Cool rig! How big is that white center?

I think I just peed a little bit, very very cool

Here is a little 7-08AI built off of a Borden action by Chad at Longrifles Inc.
Brux 22" fluted #3
Jewel triger @ 1 lb
Edge stock
7 lbs all dreesed up
Goat was @ at little over 600 in 30-40 mph winds. 120 TTSX

Did you hold for 30 mph, or 40?

Held for 30, resulted in missing poa a little which was in the direction of the wind, I was then guessing it was closer to 40. Still resulted in a killing shot, but then again could have just been human error and it was 30, meter said 30 when the shot was taken. I know that is not a real LR shot but far enough in those conditions.

Peters, that is a real nicely put together rig and great goat. I would say in real world hunting that is a hell of a shot at 600 in those conditions congrats. If you are in the 3300 fps range with that bullet the difference in 30 to 40 mph wind is about 30" so you did real well and holding 30 was the right call. That kind of wind at that distance and a 120 grain bullet a lot can happen. Well done.

Thanks, my brother actually made that shot, the 120's are not exactly what a guy should be using for reaching out there a long ways but for 500-600 yards we have tipped alot of critters over with them. I think that is starting to push the limits but results have been good out to those ranges. I seen at least four good mature bull elk shot with the same settup last year right in the 500 yard range and none of them could shake it.

20" diameter.
