Coues Sniper

dang! Got any more pics of that one??? Nice find, congrats.

Got anymore of that first one???

Scott, you should know better...

If you have a Nesika Bay Model M Hunter action just lying around, i'd be glad to take it off your hands for you. heck, I'd even give you a couple hundred bucks for it

yeah, I haven't yet anyway. Thanks for reminding me.

Unbeleiveable.

LMAO

That's what i feel like every time i get the results for AZ

Sweet rig! Keep us posted on how she shoots

That pretty much echoes exactly what i have heard from eveyone else. Thanks Doug.

Doug, I was thinking of having Kirby build a rifle for me in the next couple years... what was your experience with him? All i have heard has been positive, just wanted to know if your experience was the same. And how long was the lead time? Thanks, Kevin

Another one i have been thinking about - 7mm Allen Magnum. (338 Lapua necked down to a 7mm) 200 grain ULD's at 3400 fps. Talk about the ultimate Coues rifle

LMAO

I'll take one in .416 Barrett please!

At least you admit that Tucson is a hole. I thought he meant his life was a Hole.....

Fair enough. But Jim, on an entirely different subject, how much would Mullins Outfitters charge for a guided hog hunt?

Awesome!

Casey, $1000 more sounds about right. A carbon barrel from Christensen costs about $900. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Up to you. What you are paying for is a barrel that weighs a fraction of what a steel one would, doesn't walk (as much), and is stiffer. They charge $900 dollars for theirs. The only other company to my knowledge that also does carbon barrels is ABS, and guess how much one of theirs costs? Yep, $900. And both of those companies are so busy they don't know what to do with themselves. Can you get a custom rifle that will shoot as good as a Christensen for less money? Absolutely. Will it be as light and have a barrel that won't walk after a couple shots? None that I know about. The one thing i do agree with you on is that mine shoots great . I get 1/2 MOA out of her no matter what she eats, have had clover leaf groups at 700 yards (ok, one time, but it has happened) and she weighs about 7 lbs scoped, loaded, and bipod attached. They are expensive, and admittedly probably overly so, but dang are they sweet. To each his own Case.

LMAO Sounds like that's the place to get the "real scoop" on everything... That amount wouldn't surprise me, could be a great year.

Exactly.

I'm with you on the .204. I've been looking around at those as well. A guy i know has one that shoots lights out. Sweet gun.

heck of a Coues rifle. Flat shooting, and the BC's you can get out of the heavier bullets is phenomenal. They can be a little finicky though.

What did it end up going for?

338 Edge with a 30" barrel and a 5.5-22X56 Nightforce. Flinging 300 grain SMK's at over 2800fps and under .3 MOA... Oh baby

You bet! What a gal! Congrats! +1. Nice work Scott, keep her around.
