Semi custom or full custom bolt gun?

Why not the mini action, mag lengt isn’t a big issue for me i would pretty much change out the bottom metal for a Jefferson outdoors i believe it gives me a good amount of mag length to load them long. And if I go with a chassis they have their own BM that should take longer mags. Also if you don’t mind what load are you using in your set up.

Why a mini chassis is a better question? Does nothing for you with the round and limits you to short rounds if you wanted to try something else. Get an Origin and you can have any short action caliber you want with the ease of a bolt head change. You limit yourself massively going with a mini action. That action in the pic I have a .223, .308, 6 Creed and 6.5 Creed barrels I can spin on it.

I’m shooting factory 108 ELDs in it but also loading 110 ATips with CFE223 and getting them around 2750fps if memory serves. Would have to check for exact velocity but it’s in that area.

I agree (all my pickups have/have had flatbeds) but be prepared to add some coin to the ins check.
A like new take off box can be found for $500 to $1000 if you shop around
The last flatbed I put on was North of $7K, I know you can buy them cheaper, I just like a nice looking one on my good pickup

Very cool! .308?
Click to expand...

I believe they all were. They were never that popular about 10-15 years ago, and the last few new examples were sold at about $1,400 on Gunbroker. Originally they were in the $1,800 range IIRC - somebody please correct me if I'm mistaken here. I looked at them many years ago as a potential want, but never had the money to buy one at the time.

As soon as the last couple new ones sold however, a few popped back up for considerably more money. Ever since then, they've become extremely scarce. I'd wager you wouldn't get into one for anywhere close to what they originally sold for.

I always thought they looked like an AI, but with a Mauser 98 pattern action.

Cheap coyote gun help

This is a .308 but I would not hesitate to build this exact setup in a .243 or 6 ARC if I was in your boat (you can take away the suppressor to keep cost down) this is my gf’s rifle so that’s why it has the custom LV cerakote job but it shoots lights out. This has become my go to “ranch rifle” that always goes to the lease with me to fill feeders or shoot predators/varmints from the truck.

DeLane Development Group Rimfire Ventures

Shootnjunky
From Mike to the group

Quick Update 08/11/2025:

Magazines and DBMs:
Progress on the V-Series Magazines is looking good and on track. So much so, that I'm now focused on the larger assembly, which includes production plans for the DDG Standard M5 and M5x DBMs and all three lengths of the Barricade Stop.

The goal is that the Magazines and DBMs will be coming off the machines in close proximity so those with an M5 inletted stock burning a hole in your workbench will have a DBM to drop into it and new Magazines to use.

Website:
As of today, the DeLane Development Group website (www.delanedevgroup.net) is officially under construction. The site will feature all parts and assemblies available for order and supports eCommerce. So add whatever to the shopping cart and square it away when you're done. No more emailing and invoicing.

Speaking of emailing and invoicing, my Merchant Services provider is still working on the Gmail problem for those with Gmail and not receiving invoices. Thank you to all who have provided an alternate address, which has been 100% successful when sending to the alternate address.

Parts Kits:
Parts. Are. Running. This is the project that has me hopping the most and I receive daily outreach for parts and the suppliers are chuggin through everything I gave them. I expect various firing pins and other parts to ship to me by the end of this week.

Sniper's Hide:
I've been offline at Sniper's Hide thanks to the IP Address validation black hole. The confirmation email from them is going to an email address that I no longer have access to, so I have no way of confirming (after 16 years of being on SH) that it's me.

I've had someone reach out on my behalf (Thank You Rob) to let Frank and Alex know what's happening, but still no access. If you're on Sniper's Hide and want to see these updates (and more) over there, please blow up alexj-12 inbox on my behalf.

If someone would like to copy/paste this update in the DeLane Rimfire Ventures thread, I'd appreciate it.

Plus, the tractor thread has taken a weird direction and they're talking about art, of all things, so I need to get that back on track. I'm gone for five minutes and the place falls apart. Jeez-O-Peet! (that's more than I thought I'd say about Sniper's Hide)

Miscellaneous:
I'm using the miscellaneous header because I can't remember what else I had to say (pandelerium here today, as DC can attest to), so what I'll say is, I'm amazed and humbled by so many reaching out to offer to help with testing, pitching in wherever possible to help with whatever, etc. It's amazing, humbling, and illustrates how this community is pulling together. You all have my utmost respect.

We started saving for college when our kids were born. Did not expect to have to go private school, but covid insanity changed that. Honestly looking at less expensive schools that may actually be worth it...

A year at FSU (tuition, room, board, books, everything) runs about $36K. I am paying almost that for private school, and that doesn't include room and board. That said, my kids are probably doing college level work by sophomore year. I am in one of the best school districts, and there is still a massive difference in expectations. I feel very confident that I am setting them up to succeed in college, but I am not paying, and I am not cosigning on any amount over about that $36K, which is already a huge chunk of change. I will certainly make the offer to put all that money in an account bearing compound interest that will easily provide a very comfortable early retirement. I wish someone would have made that offer to me, but there's a 99% chance I'd have been too ignorant to take it.

There are a lot of places to get a four year education for not a whole lot more than $100K all in. If stay in your home state or move to that state there are tons of reasonable places to go. That won't leave the 22 y/o idiot with crushing debt. You just can't be stupid about it.

And you need to choose a degree that you can actually earn a living with. A masters in underwater basket weaving or gender studies isn't going to pay the cell phone bill much less all the other bills.

Their fucking GONE, done, finished .. Unbelievable, UK not happy until they are in complete control over every single aspect of it's citizens social behavior. The fucking Communist Jackboot cocksucking asshole even states that it technically not an illegal action. Punishment is dealt out because 'they' are in agreement, and feel it to be undesirable behavior, that may even lead to possible future criminal behavior .

I just don’t think it has a lot of utility. A robust, reliable and repeatable system is far superior to interfacing with an app. Having an organized and clean system is also important.

I do all brass prep at one time to alleviate any room for error.

As I shoot i come home and deprime my brass until all 200 rounds are shot. Then I do bass prep-

Tumble
Anneal
Fl size
Trim chamfer debur (giraud)
Tumble (yes I tumble twice)
Prime

Then that same day or another day when I’m ready I load

Dump powder
seat bullet


Theres really no room for error when I’m doing everything in stages and with all the brass at once.

This is my exact process as well. I also tumble twice and in that order.
