A little 308 shooting today.... TacOps X-Ray 51
Just a generic load with some powder I had on hand.
SMK 168, 41 grains Reloder 15
New Winchester Brass, WLR Primers
Sand Pit @ 200 Yards, crappy table and off a Harris Bipod!
This is the cold bore group after a cleaning.....

300 PRC build
Defiance Ruckus
24" Proof prefit
Triggertech diamond
Krg whiskey 3 folding chassis
Gen II razor and vortex PMR rings
Accutac fc4-g2 bipod
This rifle has had some horrible horizontal stringing since I finished it. After 75 rounds wasted I think I figured out the problem, now to get some more time behind it.

This rifle has had some horrible horizontal stringing since I finished it. After 75 rounds wasted I think I figured out the problem, now to get some more time behind it.
What was the problem?
I believe a small o-ring on the forward action screw allowed there to be excessive space between the action and chassis. I also think the torque was off between the 2 action screws and the recoil lug was too far forward. Hard to say it was those things exactly but I saw a big difference immediately after removing the o-ring and re-torquing the action. It was shooting 1.5" groups at 100yds before the changes, stringing from right to left (I removed myself as the culprit after shooting other magnums successfully and also having others shoot this rifle with the same result). Right after the changes it was shooting ~ .60 moa at 100yds with me still not used to the rifle.

It was only -25C
This rifle was shown before, but in this picture the colours match nicely. Wintery morning on the west coast of Ireland.

Just picked up a Tikka 6xc here local to me. Bravo chassis. I'm excited to take it out!
Nope, it's the sightron s-tac 3-16x42. It's been great so far. Wish it had more magnification, but oh well.
Great scope for the cash. The reticle is on the fine side but the glass is outstanding for the price.
Great looking rifle, I love the KRG enclosed forend (so much so that I have one on order for my next build).
Nice!
Now I must have one.....
I wouldn't personally. It is partly made of aluminum. Aluminum gets eaten too easily by chemicals for cleaning. Also for work I machine parts for the hot side of turbine jet engines (semi similar to the inside of silencers). We don't use aluminum for parts exposed to heat.
Check out others by Thunderbeast, Rugged, or Dead Air. They are more highly recommended here on the Hide.
Ive got a Thunderbeast Ultra 7 in nfa jail right now. Sorry. No pics yet of it on my bolt gun.

Understood. Just seemed like a cool concept - brake on a suppressor.

Its a looker!
I`m in the process of building something along the same lines (KRG Bravo with enclosed forend / fluted barrel - probably 24" or maybe 22") and if it ends up looking like that I will be pleased.
Out of curiosity what profile is the barrel?
thanks, you'd definitely be pleased. Very ergo-friendly stock, virtually little perceived recoil with 6.5 PRC.
I just edited it, it's a 5R (marksman) contour. Got it from Area 419, $473 after shipping, includes helical fluting.
It's shown with a Bering Optics ACE 4-14 x 44 scope, I've since swapped it for an Arken Optics EP4 6-24 x 50.
