Family trip headed to Mobile Alabama. Stopped in to this at Southern Museum of Flight. If you dont know the history of this helicopter take the time to look it up. Cool story about it.

12 tons! Is most of the weight the engines? Just seems like a helo would be made light but I admit I am not a “helologist”

Muzzle brake or suppressor for 300 WM?

Maurygold said:
My 18” WM shoots 6” groups at 1000 yards at least twice a month every month. You guys are just making up stuff about the performance based on conjecture not experience. I’ve even had the rifle out to a mile at Arena, GA.

This is based on a super high level of shooting and reloading but it’s not remotely what you said.

With that said - no, 300 wm short barrel is not the best place to start this adventure. And I mentioned that earlier

Proof: my rifle and target from roaming shot LA at 1100 yards

My 300wn pushes the same bullet as yous over 300 fps faster which is why the longer barrel is where the 300wm belongs in. I bet given the choice between your 2650 and my 3000 fps you would pick mine to make mile hits with in variable winds. I have made hits at a mile with6mm arc but not my first choice

I wore out a ton of barrels in various calibers over the years. Many of them 300wm so this is not a guess on my part. I have shot at pretty high level of competition myself

Otherwise since he is LRPng he Could make the same hits as yours with far less blast to give his position away. Have a barrel that lasts longer and carry double the ammo. Just using 6.5 Creedmoor

As I said a 20” 300wm is not the best choice for his use. Plus that 20” Savage Hunting rifle likely wont let him get safely to 2650 with 215’s

FUBAR times 6!

Pics ?

Seems like some of these conventional stocks and short scopes you need it “backwards” and even then it’s not enough sometimes.

For sure.
Most forward mounts are designed to reverse the top hemisphere if needed to close the gap between the day optic. That being said if the barrel contour is barely clearing, flipping the bridge will result in the damned thing conflicting with the barrel due to the increased taper diameter upstream from the mount. Maybe that's what was happening with the awesome lightning sticks mentioned above.

The KMW MUNSter is designed to do that and a bunch are ran in a reversed fashion with shorter scopes.

Accuracy of CZ 457 Varmint 22LR non MTR

Crippledchicken said:
I recently purchased the 457 Varmint in22lr non MTR. Have only shot it in back of my house at 25yds. Haven't been to the range yet for 50yd shooting. Just from the research online, It seems a lot of folks are not getting very good accuracy. Some say no matter what ammo they have tried. The last CZ I owned was a 452 Varmint in 22LR years back. The 452 was very accurate even with the Federal 510 rounds. I'm just trying to see if a lot of folks on this forum have had poor accuracy out of this particular model. Also, if anyone found solutions to accuracy problems other than barrel replacement. I plan to install a yo dave trigger. Thanks for all input! (y) I plan to experiment with action screw torque.

I had good overall accuracy with my varmint, but the cold bore shift made me crazy, so I replaced the barrel.

If you're thinking about upgrading your 457, I would caution you to consider things before going down that rabbit hole. I did a lot of work to mine and put a good amount of time and money into it. Make no mistake, its a hammer; but in hindsight, time and money would have been better spent if I just ordered a barreled action from Desert Precision or some such place.

Where you are now, you could just sell your rifle right and take the relatively small loss now, rather than put a bunch of time and money into it HOPING to get the performance you want.

As for screw torque ... 20-25 in-lbs seems to be the consensus torque range.

Gentlemen, while technically not nekid, the post left VERY little to imagination. The idea here is pretty simple to understand and getting right up to the line isn’t really the best way forward. I appreciate you all and we 99% all get along and have a great time. I hope everyone gets the gist of this.

I don’t like being breast police. Neither does @powdahound76 or anyone else who catches things first and says something. Most times, guys just forget which thread they’re in, fixes things and life goes on.
