Well some secrets have already been let out of the bag and ya'll have known this was coming for awhile. We've yet to update a new page of our website outlining our new one of a kind composite barreled long range rifles, but figured it was time enough to announce them!
First things first, these rifles are on a 6 MONTH delivery time. For those of you already familiar with the industry, that's pretty standard if not quicker than 70% of the builders out there. Cost will be in the $4,000-$4500 range.
The secret to this rifle and what makes it vastly different from other carbon barreled rifles, is the fact that the barrel is not wrapped exclusively with carbon fiber. We've employed a barrel wrap technology that greatly reduces barrel harmonic as well as increased rigidity for the size of contour use. Very cool stuff and we're very excited about it!
We can build these rifles off of a custom action or a true'd Remington 700 platform. Our barrel contours are coming from either Bartlein or Benchmark and they both make fantastic barrel cores.
Here's an example of a recent build:
True'd Remington 700 Action
Custom 1 piece bolt from Pacific Tool & Gauge with mini 16 extractor and tactical bolt knob.
HCA Composite Barrel finished at 27", 1:9.4" twist
338 Norma Magnum cut with PTG reamer
Timney Trigger set at 1.5 lbs
APA Fat Bastard Brake
Manners Elite Hunter 1 stock pillar bedded using "stress free" bedding techniques
Factory BDL bottom metal (any other bottom metal can be used, prices vary)
Approximate weight of bare rifle is 7.55 lbs (We're going to be doing a few other things to lighten them up, this rifle is about the heaviest you'll see). Rifle with Seekins base/rings and Vortex FFP PST scope is 9.5 lbs. The way these rifles balance is amazing as well because all the weight is centered around the action.
Current rifles being built off of Remington 700 Long Actions are running 7 lbs approximately for a 26" barrel. (A few onces more or less depending on caliber selection)
Using H1000 powder this rifle is shooting 300 grain SMK's approximately 2750 fps with great accuracy and no pressure signs. Using Vihtavouri N570 there's another 100 fps of speed in this caliber. We can build any caliber rifle you want off of this platform with various barrel lengths available.
Here's a test target from the below rifle at 500 yards:
Another test target at 100 yards. Above group is jammed .030" into the lands (obviously not what the rifle likes), the bottom group measured right below .5 MOA and is .005" jumped off the lands.
Pictures of rifle:
Also we haven't really come up with a name yet for these rifles that we like... We'd appreciate suggestions! $400 off the purchase price of one to the person who's suggestion is approved for naming these rifles!
