Re: new short 308

Nice looking rig TG...suspecting that threaded muzzle is for not too distant plans in another location eh?

Re: new short 308

Very nice

Re: new short 308

took it to the range today

95*, DA of 7400+

it shot well, might need to tweak the lop and position of the recoil pad a bit. overall, very comfortable to shoot; one slight annoyance, since it has a hollw buttstock tube, it rings in your ear.

was pleased with the performance, no groups worth taking pics of, but then i was the one shooting it

Re: new short 308

I think TG is just trying to be nice and show us she can out shoot us all.

TG, I have heard of people filling with a spray foam, it is light and takes out the hollow sound.

Re: new short 308

Very nice! Who did you get to do the barrel work?

 

[Texgal_338]

Re: new short 308

it is a pre-fit barrel from Shilen

Force_Multiplier installed the barrel and headspaced it

 

[Texgal_338]

Re: new short 308

update

there was a noticeable ringing when firing

i cured that by stuffing the stock tube with the shredded fiberglass cloth used for mufflers, can get it at any off road motorcycle shop

Re: new short 308 (use at range report)

Really like your rifle, been thinking about doing a chassis project myself. How do you like the scope?
