    108eldm 110 a tip 6 creed freebore

    Hardy barrels are awesome, I burnt out an IBI in 6BRA and replaced with a Hardy. took the same load out to break it in an shot consistently 1/2MOA and even a slight bit faster. Another option for OP is a Lothar Walther barrrel from T-Bone Shipwrighting. Tom does very stellar work and often has...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Leupold opened a facility in Brisbane Aus for custom works and defence contracts, I'd be super surprised if they done also have one in the US. Our market is tiny comparison

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    It was sent to the Leupold custom shop for a reticle swap from CCH to PR2 Mil and cerakote and laser etched again. The colour is Barrett Brown H269.

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Picked up this 18" 308Win Stiller Tac30 B/A today. Dropped it in the XLR and topped with a tan Mark 5HD. Now just have to decide what brake to finish it off with. Should be a handy blaster.

    MDT ACC elite - balance and weights

    That looks wicked mate, and the gold TMB is sweet! I did remove the butt spacer, more so for my T-Rex arms but did drop a bit of weight from the rear. The bridges aren't to everyones taste, but that's what gives me most control over the wobble and keeping the rifle on target once the shot...

    MDT ACC elite - balance and weights

    Damn she would be heavy! I'm running a 26" 1.25" straight with only the pair of external weights toward the mag well and balances about 4" in front of the mag well. Mine comes in at about 10kg. The best I've found once it's balanced, add weight from centre outward, rather than balancing the...

    Actions With AW Cut

    It's not as really that unbelievable, a Rem 700 BDL system works on a staggered feed. I also have a CDG, unfired that I've cycled only a few dummy rounds in. I found the CDG won't seat mags in my XLR Envy Pro (non adjustable catch), but will on my ACC Elite. The Ruckus works in both untouched.

    Actions With AW Cut

    Defiance have their AW cut down pat, my Ruckus has been in a Manners (mini chassis), MPA, XLR Envy Pro, MDT ACC and ACC Elite. None have had adjustable mag catches except the ACC Elite and none have require mag latch tuning or feed lips opened. Cartridges have included BR, BRA and regular SAs...

    Post your Chassis/stock bore height

    I'll add - XLR Envy Pro Rem700: 1.416" If I recall the MDT ACC was closer the the AT-X, however I find the XLR tracks better on a barricade using same barreled action/scope. ACC: 23lb, XLR: 19.6lb both balanced 4" forward of the mag well.

    Defiance Ruckus vs Lone Peak Fuzion Vs Impact 737R

    I haven’t been able to get behind a Lone Peak, but have had plenty of time behind a buddies Impact and for me was a choice between the Impact and the Ruckus. After owning the Ruckus I’m sure I made the right choice for my preferences. Both with TT Diamonds, the Impact has much more cock-on-close...

    Show off your MDT ACC chassis

    Thanks mate, but after a little over 12 months and 2 black chassis I think it’s time to spice them up a bit. I only have 3 pairs of forend weights at this stage so can’t really provide a pic with all the weights. How it is now it’s 21lb and balanced 3” forward of the barricade stop which I find...

    Manners PRS2 & Defiance

    I had my PRS2 sorted by the smith while the action was in getting a barrel spun up, but the way I would tackle it would be with some jewellers files. A round one for the end contour and flat to take out the material between.
