Any of you guys happen to know of a shop that actually has hands on one that I can order? I have the uncontrollable itch for a 223 MPA and there are a million listed on GB but so far it seems like they’re all drop ship to my ffl with who knows what wait times.

I’d take another good action/bbl as well but our classifieds are dry at the moment on 223 rifles and I would really just love a line on a black MPA if anyone knows a shop that has one.

Thanks.

Hey looking for opinions from people that own or have owned the original Barrett 98b and would they still own it today.

I've read all the old threads on the rifle and a lot of the information is no longer relevant. EuroOptic no longer lists the barrel removal tool etc.

2015 98b in 7mm Rem Mag, not a fieldcraft. Shoots 162 eld-x moa or better @100. Barely broken in.

Any developments in barrel replacement? Am I sol when it comes time to replacing the barrel? thanks in advance

Help deciding on a chassis for Tikka LA

Good morning guys,

Some context first:
I’ve been hunting and shooting for about 20 years, mostly short range, never exceeding 300 m. I’m from Germany, ranges are scarce around here and anything above 300 m is almost impossible.
Over the last years opportunities in neighbouring countries opened up and as a long time lurker in the long range communities I decided to go for it.
A long time ago I loved reading German Salazars Rifleman’s blog and decided to build a longrange .30-06.
After some trouble with a gunsmith, my barreled action was finally ready in January.
The current set up is the following:

- Tikka T3x action
- Lothar Walther 28“ 9“ twist barrel in a medium contour
- Bixn Andy trigger
- MDT LSS chassis with Arca rail
- XLR TR-2 stock on a folding adapter
- MDT vertical premiere grip
- Spuhr direct to Tikka mount
- ZCO 420
- A-Tec Mega H2 moderator

Now, the LSS chassis was really nice on the original 20“ Tikka barrel, with the new heavier barrel it’s too short though.
I do need a new chassis, which one is the big question.
The budget is up to 2000 €, though that much would be pretty painful and I’d prefer to spend less, or rather on reloading equipment and ammo.
The chassis needs to be a folder, or compatible with a folding adapter, due to the overall length of the rifle.
The Chassis is supposed to be stiff, I want an accurate rifle.
I’m going to use this rifle for 1000 m shooting outside of any competition, static hunting with hikes less than 5 miles, mostly less than 1 mile (weight is a tertiary consideration at best). Hunting will be done inside of 300 m.
Chassis I’ve looked at so far have been the

- LSS-XL
I liked the LSS, but I’m a bit uncertain about the rigidity of the chassis, compared to the competitors. It would be the least expensive option though, especially since I can continue using my current buttstock. I’m not in love with the bolt on Arca rail.

- ESS
It looks good, but I hate MDT buttstocks. The ones I owned felt cheap and flimsy, for 500 € that’s not good enough.
I don’t see a good way to continue using my TR-2 with the ESS, so it’s out (unless someone has an idea how to attach the TR-2 without using several adapters in a row).

- XLR any Chassis
Not available for a Tikka LA around here.

- KRG any Chassis
Not available as a folder for Tikka LA around here.

- Spuhr SICS
Awesome chassis, I’d love to buy it, but it’s bloody exspensive and I’d have to replace all my magazines. 2300+ €.
That’s too much, can’t justify that for a chassis.

- Vision Chassis with standard fore end
It looks very rigid, long fore end, Arca rail uses 3.56“ mags. The butt stock looks good, too.
No m-lok on the front though and a bit pricey with 1500 € for the folder. Biggest and only real con is the 2+ month wait to get one.


So, in the end my question is probably what do you think about the LSS-XL. Is it sufficiently rigid for a long range build, or should I step up to the vision and wait?

Cheers

Hey fellas, not sure if you watch Preston Moore's data driven AR-15 barrel testing videos you YT, but I am a big fan. His videos are high on information and low on opinion, the opposite of a lot of the slop found there.

Anyways, he is local to me so I reached out to him. I proposed that he shoot my precision rifle and my provided ammo for a video in exchange for sponsorship on some of his vids. He does AR stuff, so this was a bit new to him, but we had fun and I think it came out good.

I thought you guys might enjoy it since it's up our alley. All in all I'm happy with the results given factory ammunition and our set of circumstances.

Here is the link to the video and I also attached the composited 30 shot groups.

I'm shooting the 108gr ELDM from a 6mmGT in a Brux barrel. I tested loads with one particular box to check if my barrel liked the bullet - shot 3x 10rd groups around 0.5-.0.6 MOA group size (0.05 - .06MRAD mean radius). Seemed all good, so I purchased 1000 bullets of a different production lot, and now I'm getting 10rd group sizes around 0.9-1+ MOA (mean radius 0.07+ MRAD) with that lot.

This is pretty frustrating, all I can pin it on is lot-to-lot variation in the bullets - the 1K I bought coming from a lot where, for whatever reason, the quality of the bullets is lower.

Anyone else seen a degree of lot-to-lot variation like this?

If that's the problem, what can be done about it? Really hard to test a production lot before buying the same lot in bulk with the market conditions these days
