My buddy I won the three forks match with has 1300 rounds through his 6.5x47 and it still shoots well. I have just under 800 on my 6x47 and have not noticed any difference since it was new in regards to accuracy. I would imagine 1800-2000 in a match environment would be expected with the 6x47...
Ajvigs, i would look at either a kreiger or a bartlein barrel, i like the heavy palma with heavy fluting.
Stocks, mcmillan A series or the manners is a good choice. I like the AICS 2.0 with the viperskins, it is heavy. I think my lightest match gun weighs 16 pounds with everything on it. Good...
Thanks joel, wont fill the house with trophies that quickly, three forks is the only match that has trophies. I must say i do like the cash better than the trophies. I will be at your house around friday of next week. I will bring the Knights Armament SR15 with me so you can take a peek. My...
Get the defiance deviant, i have two and another ordered. Get the deviant with the AW magazine cut out, this will allow you to run the shorter double stack ten round AW magazines. The 6.5 x47 is a good choice and i ran one for a year, having switched to the 6x47 I recommend the 6 over the 6.5...
Nice, I think the 3150 fps mark is where most guys are running the 140 in the saum case. George gardener "GA Precision" won the snipershide cup this year with the 6.5 saum.
Washington state has a match on the 7th of december, there is also a match in three forks montana on the 7th of december. Get on snipershide and go to the tactical matches section, they will have matches posted on there.
I will be going to the three forks match here in december, I have won it...
When shooting at distance "700+ yards" I myself think the ammunition becomes the most important factor. Great glass, rifle, shooter are key but all is worthless if the load your using isn't up to it.
The shooting three and cleaning will not provide the information to your accuracy question. The first shot down a clean barrel will be likely 70 fps slower than a fouled barrel, second shot 30-40 fps slower and so on until the barrel is fouled and consistant. I have done this through my...
For what application? Are you just going to hunt with it or do you have a multi-purpose role in mind, IE competitions? I use my comp guns to hunt with as well, I killed my antelope last week with the 300 jazz, breaking my longest shot record on a big game animal in the processs.
For straight prone shooting I use the atlas bipod, it is better suited with adjustments and tension settings than the harris. For a hunting situation where terrain dictates the shooting position i carry a lightweight set of aluminum shooting sticks in my pack along with the.atlas on the rifle...
Thanks for posting this scotty, brian thanks for the comment. I am not sure this phone over exposes the right side of the picture all the time, but you get the idea of what they look like. I just sent the short action bokt to get micro slicked,the 300 bolt is melonited.
I have the .bc for the 352 cutting edge at home written down, we bought 1000 of them and 1000 pieces of brass to use in the DTA HTI .375 conversion kit we ordered 10 months ago and still havent seen. I got the numbers from the guy who does all the ammo for dta's commercial sales, I amnot certain...
