Who made the brake for you? It looks good.

Its aluminum and at 1.250" diameter is just 2.2 oz. John Graziano made it out of Lake Ariel PA. He goes by ROCKJAG4 over on Accurateshooter.com $75.00 plus freight.

Tim, I know brakes are usually considered loud and obnoxious. How much did that brake raise the noise level on your target rifle?

When shooting on a firing line with others, all ear protection in place, I do not notice any difference in noise level. What I see is another story altogether. I can get back to battery so much faster and smoother it ain`t funny.

Fine work Tim!!

I don't recall, do they shoot your game at Oakridge or no?

Thank you!

Oak Ridge was the first match I ever attended in 2007. They quit having IBS matches there for a spell, but are now back in business.

Its been many years since wife and I shot a service rifle match at Oakridge but really enjoyed the range and the country! Would love to get back one day but probably won't happen.

1 inch groups at 600 yards are to drool over.

MSSA results are not posted yet from this weekend, but lady luck smiled on me again. I shot not small group of the match, but small group in Heavy class with a .963" Won first place score Heavy with a 188, won 2nd place score Lt with a 194, won 3rd place group in Lt. Won the match with 1st place 2 Gun Agg.

6 IBS points.

Oak Ridge is a beautiful place, the rock bluff behind the pits and the small pond beside the parking area is very beautiful.

Keep it up. I don't read all your posts all the time but when I have time I sure enjoy the updates! Better than watching news or TV for sure.

TN sure has some beauty to it! I"m a Alaskan mountains kinda guy mostly but TN ain't nothing to sneeze at.

You should visit the whole area just north of Carthage TN. Breathtaking.

Looks great as always Tim. Very impressive.

I bought the tools to do a Stiller drop port which is the same as Remington and Pierce actions. First try today, pretty fun learning/doing something new.

Tim, what kind of action are you using? and what kind of scope?

I use a BAT model B and actually have a Borden BR action and stock for sale over on Accurateshooter.com. I prefer a Leupold 40x and am looking hard at a March 40x if funds allow.

nice, i would need a lefty action for my build, but i am planning on doing a 6mmBR with a 28" barrel of some sort. i would like it to be fluted though.

could you elaborate on your dies and possibly include a picture?

On the dies, I have Redding S-Type FL to size with part number 77317. I like .0015" to .002" tension so a no turn may need a .267" bushing. I seat with an arbor press with Wilson inline die.

Barrels are easy, cut rifled ones made by Bartlein, Krieger, or Brux.

cool, thanks for the info Tim.

First brand new blank I did for myself is acting like it wants to goooo play.

600 yards.

Excellent!
