Re: Official 2012 SH Rifle Order Thread

It's not current, I had a bunch of orders over SHOT and while I was in Austria, so it has changed.

Plus there are some not on the list that just want a few left over rifles.

I am sending everything out to Marc this week, as we are moving forward, Spoke to Tom Manners this week so the stocks are rolling.

When I got back from SHOT then Vienna, and saw several more orders, I had to process them and just havent' updated everything.

In the end I think we only have about 8 rifles left.

I have been so busy, I just yesterday Opened up the Demo Rifle Marc Built... this was the unboxing.

I would like to touch base with each one of you personally to make sure no details or previous comms have been missed. Please contact me directly at [email protected] and put "Sniper's Hide GB" in the subject line. Include your actual and screen names, specs that you have asked for, and a phone number where you can be reached.

I have everything already here in a packet but I want to make absolutely sure each and every detail on each rifle is correct.

Marc
 
I will be shooting the 2012 Sniper's Hide Build Demo Rifle tomorrow ...

Whatever happened to those 120 grain .264s you were testing? You keep making me break a commandment by coveting another man's rifle...

Got my 624i in yesterday, plan on using a Spuhr mount as well. Nice to be able to see exactly what mine will look like when it's finished. What height are those mounts?
 
Just a quick update to let you guys know the stocks and barrels were ordered two or three weeks ago and we are just waiting on parts.

Onoko: It's hard to say exactly because I don't know how long the barrels and stocks will take. Bartlein barrels are the best so they're in demand and take time. I can't make any kind of promises for lead times but I'm expecting deliveries to happen between 6 and 8 months from now.

I will post pictures as each part arrives then when they're in the build process I'll post several times a week.

Marc
 
Lowlight, gave us a heads up on this when he first started thinking about doing this. These have been "unofficially" on order for quite some time. It was just a matter of getting the final details from Marc. Since then, things have moved pretty quick. The barrels should be shipping next month.
 
Good news guys I just got in about 18 of the barrels from Bartlein and the rest should come out in the next couple of weeks.

I just got keys to my new shop and I'm in the process of moving about 50 miles south of here. That will delay me in getting started by two to three weeks :(

Marc
 
Tim yes they are all spoken for. You'll have to talk to Frank about the possibility of a standby list.

Just wanted to check in with you guys and let you all know what the latest status is.

I have everything but the stocks and Manners is working on them now. I sent Tom a barreled action so he could fine tune the inlet and make them just right.

Right now I am almost finished moving into my new shop and I should be fully operational by this time next week. That's when I will start getting the barrel jobs done so when the stocks arrive I'll be ready to get them all bedded and finished. Feel free to email me anytime if you have questions.
 
Checking in with you all for a quick update. I'm knee deep in the barrel work now and Tom Manners said the stocks will start arriving in the next week or two. I think he said the fixed versions will start showing up first. They will go into bedding as the stocks arrive, then I'll test fire each rifle before they go into final finishing and coating. The work is picking up now so you'll see updates more frequently.

Marc
 
These are the stocks that just came in from Manners and they are going into bedding now. They still need the muzzle thread work and obviously the labeling and coating.

Some guy on facebook commented that although the camo is nice the shiny aluminum barrels would give away his position lol. We stopped using aluminum barrels months ago!
