Help me decide on a new lightweight stock for my 700
lancetkenyon replied to PRDATR's topic in The Campfire
I know you didn't mention it, but Manner EH series are fantastic and light. My EH1 & EH2 both weigh 26oz on the dot. Stiff, light, and look amazing. I also have a Edge Game Scout that weighs 29oz. Great fit, great quality. But both are more scratch than B&C. -
Time in the field is better than time behind a desk. Either one could net you a nice buck, or tag soup. Good luck in the draw.

Just because someone's name is not on this list does not exclude them from being a good seller or buyer.

Great glass! I have hundreds of hours behind mine.

Fluting reduces accuracy.... .300RUM 215 Berger @ 100 yards 230 Berger @ 200 yards 230 Berger @ 404 yards 6.5SS 150 SMK @ 100 yards 28 Nosler R700 Sendero SF .264WM 7RM 180 Hybrid @ 100 180 Hybrid @ 200 180 Hybrid @ 806

About 4 to 8 oz. a little more if they are spiral flutes. A bolt fluting job only removes about 1 to 2 oz. Ounces cost $100 s Exactly.

AxisWorks does.

I have a brand new unfired R700 Sendero in .300RUM sitting in my safe now! My cousin has one too.
-
AND no tax! Good price. Wish I knew someone looking.

Go getum boys!

Go for it!

Custom .264WM loads....just sayin'.

Late 12A.

Bruno's has a bunch of 1# & 8#. They also have a bunch of 140 Target VLD and Hybrids.

Azelkhunter2 is good to go. Stand up seller.

I TOLD you not to look through the Premier and Schmidt & Bender....and Kahles. But noooo.....you just had to take a peak..... You can't unsee those kinds of things.

I know a guy running a .22CM pushing a 90 (.58 G1 BC) SMK @ 3100 from a 1:7". A .224" 95SMK requires a 1:6". Which will spin the heck out of a 50gr varmint bullet... But you could push a 6mm (.62 G1 BC) 110 SMK @ 3000-3050 from a 1:7" 24".

He already HAS the 22". Should make it handy though.
-
I know a guy building a 6CM, who has dies already if you decide to switch up your current 6.5CM to 6CM instead of .22CM. And, you already have brass that can be neck sized down easily too...just sayin'. You can push a 90gr 6mm just as fast as a 90gr .22, but still be able to go up to 105 or even 115 if you want.....

My 6.5SS is on a 26" #3B fluted. Shoots just fine. 22" is going to lose some speed. So RL26 should help get some or most of it back. But, at the expense of barrel wear. 6.5-.284 Norma is more suited for a long action realistically. And is another cartridge that is a 1000-1200 round burner. I am starting load development on one as we speak. I have heard Lapua SP brass is better about primer pockets than LP brass. We shall see. Lapua also makes .260 Rem brass in SP, so you could go .260AI SP and be a step ahead of 6.5CM in the horsepower race.

I have done that same thing with a Great Horned Owl, Barn Owl, and Red-Tailed Hawk. I just put on my welding gloves, wrap them up in a blanket, and keep a hand on them as I am driving. The Great Horned and Red Tail were calm. That Barn owl was a fiesty little biter. He grabbed me as I grabbed him. I still have a scar from him.

400-600 rounds a year guys. Any of the above are only going to last 2 years. My vote is something like 6.5 SLR, .260AI, 6.5x47L, 6.5CM, .260Rem, 6.5x55AI, 6.5x55 Swede, etc. A Proof would be a tough pill to swallow for me to shoot out in 2 years. You should buy 2 steel barrels and have them both chambered now for a fast 6.5.

Keep at least one of them....my GemPro250 went tits up fairly quickly.
