Now your idea of "extra grip" is something I hadn't tried. Yes the mag. seats fully as I trimmed off some plastic on the rear of the lips. Maybe a piece of two sided tap, etc. would be the ticket.
I dont think that 3000 fp/s is not bad for 55gr bullet, sure it might be more drop on 77gr, but it´s not an issue for me.
Most cases barrel shortening will increase it stiffnes, so it might be even more accurate as it was in 24".
But will see, this was interesting test, that´s why i choose it to go on 18", since we use suppressors, that 2" did make it
quite compact package.
223 Remington/ 5.56mm NATO barrel length and velocity: 26 inches to 6 inches
Have you ever wondered how much barrel length effects muzzle velocity on your rifle? Well I did, so I cut up rifles chambered in 223 Remington, 308 Winchester, 7 mm Remington Magnum and 300 Winche…
rifleshooter.com And that this 223rem Bravo chassis rifle is my son, so i believe we can make it shoot and handle better than it was with longer barrel
this is almost exactly what I am looking to build. What is the total weight of your setup?
I never weighed it, I'm working the next couple of days but I will weigh it when I get a chance
On my Tac A1 I’m running an Athlon Ares ETR in an American Rifle Company M10-QD Mount at 1.57” height. Using Vortex Defender caps and there’s just a little clearance between scope and handguard rail.
I’m not sure I could go any lower with my setup without touching.
Rifle Scopes - Ring Height Info - How to Measure Correctly
Guys, Lately, on average of about 1 per day, I have seen quite a few posts (mostly from newbies) regarding questions about what ring height should be used. They usually request pics for comparison. For all new guys, there is a systematic way of calculating ring height that doesn't require more...

Got one more question for you guys: I have a pre-fit sendero style barrel going on my T3x - https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1021836270
Unfortunately my manners T6a barrel liner is too small to accept this. Who would be able to inlet my stock so I can get the action to fit? It's a composite stock

Sandpaper and dowel rod ?.
Finally got this one together. T3 in .260 with TBAC Ultra 9 and Mk5 7-35 CCH in Spuhr 5002. Thanks to Branden at Custom Gun Coatings for the paint job.
EDIT: Forgot about the Sterk handle and shroud, KRG Midas Trigger, Atlas CAL w/RRSS BTC-Pro Mount.

This looks bad ass!! Gorgeous paint job!
Thanks, Branden does great work.
I was able to get an adapter for a rail that fits the swivel stud:
Amazon.com : BLACKHAWK Swivel Stud Picatinny Rail Adapter : Gun Swivels : Sports & Outdoors

As a stock manufacturer I would say buy a new stock of course. Other than that just get a rail of choice flat or curved bottom, drill two holes in the stock and fit with screws washer/nut. Could be posh and glue some alu into the stock then drill and tap. Don't worry the original CTR stocks normally wonder in the bin... not worth much... meaning you should find another in the unlikely event that you mess up your stock.

I weighed it today. Total weight with everything is 12lbs 13oz.

And that this 223rem Bravo chassis rifle is my son, so i believe we can make it shoot and handle better than it was with longer barrel
I am thinking about cutting my factory 223 varmint barrel down to 20" for a handier coyote calling rifle. I always shoot it suppressed and it is really long with the factory barrel.
I would rate the TAC A1 the "better" stock.
More options and settings.
The only advantage I see in the Bravo is the weight though, if that any matters.
If not, stay with the TAC A1.
Just my 2cents.
On the other hand:
You can have my Bravo for the A1 ...
i would cut to 18” myself
Agreed, I'd want a shorter barrel as well. I like the sound of 20" also.
I don't want to lose too much velocity, so I will probably stick with 20". I am getting the 53gr VMax to 3390fps, the 65gr SGK to 3200, and the 75gr ELDM up to 3035 with the current length.
First time poster on this thread. I envy y'all with those pictures of the nice rifles and beautiful backdrop scenery. I live in the city and my back ground is the couch I sit on, LOL... Anyway this one is mine... T3 Tactical in .308![20200312_214246[1].jpg](https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/attachments/20200312_214246-1-jpg.7275399/ "20200312_214246[1].jpg")

You better get that off the couch before your wife sees that!
We are "shelter in place" here in the Bay Area in CA, so all I do is sitting on the couch and surfing the Hide... for goodies.
Just put this together yesterday.
260 Rem CTR, Cadex Lite Comp, AADMOUNT for the Bushnell XTR, Sterk Handle, YoDave spring, AFS Brake, Harris Bipod (Atlas is on the way). Haven't even shot it yet!

Well I moved to a GRS Bifrost to save about 3lbs. I like my new setup and it appears just as accurate. At 61 years old, I will appreciate the weight savings as I age. If I was 10 years younger, I would say "no". (By the way I am limited to stocks because I am right minded.)
Is the the bushnell forge on there?
Great looking setup btw
DMR Pro
Factory CTR in the MDT chassis was super butt heavy... had to end up adding 4 internal weights, and 4 external weights to get it to balance in front of the mag well. I could probably add 1 more internal weight to get it a bit steadier, but I wanted to save 1 weight for the Vudoo. Looks like I'll need to buy a few more weights, or I guess when the suppressor comes in that'll help.
Here is one of mine I just got together. It’s for sale in the exchange though. It ought to make someone happy.
It is a SWFA 5-20. I have a few of those scopes and they are one of my favorites.That´s nice and stylish package
Is tha SWFA scope?
18" Tikka CTR 223rem barrel had nice straight fluting.
Can´t wait to put it back to the KRG chassis.
New bullet ordered, i try Sierra MK 69gr bullets, Sellier&Bellot ammo with that bullet did one hole with 5 shots.

Starting load for the 25x47. I shot 4 each 39, 39.5, 40, 40.5, 41gr of H4350. All printed .3 high from my boresight. I’m going to load up a pile of 41gr loads. velocities We’re going up every string. Hopefully I can get another 100fps as the barrel speeds up And I find the next node up. 39-40 was a velocity node. 40.5 went up 50, 41 went up another 50 FPS To around 2850. 41.5 didn’t show any pressure signs. Gonna try 41.5, 42, 42.5 next time.
My sighters/warm up/safety check loads all went into basically 1 hole.

I had Fritz @ Black Canyon Customs spin up yet another barrel for my Tikka. Mullerworks 1-7.5 24” 223 Wylde. It’s becoming my favorite to shoot
Did some pressure checking on my 25x47. Got up to 42.5gr of H4350 with no pressure signs. Case is filled half way up the neck and compressed. I think that’s enough for me. We’ll see how the higher loads do at the range and check velocity. I really want to get to 2950 or maybe even 3k.
