*** Brand New - Just Released *** First shots with the brand new ThunderBeast Magnus-S HUB (7") .30 caliber suppressor. Running it on my 20" Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT 7mm-08 Rem. This will be my new hunting suppressor once I get my stamp back.

 
Just got the barreled action and got it put together.

Wait - KRG is making lefty C4s?!?
Doesn't look like it but it isnt hard to convert. To convert my Tikka whiskey 3 it was only the bolt cut.

To convert my Mdt Xrs for my Tikka t1x it was bolt cut and safety clearance. Did it with a Foredom rotary tool. Just mirror what is already there. Fingernail polish painted the exposed aluminum.

Can also be done with a round file.

What powder are you running to get 2900?
RL26 in Peterson Brass with 210M primers. Running it long too. COAL is not SAMMI length. I had my gunsmith cut the chamber long specifically for longer, higher BC bullets. He did a hell of a job on it. I picked up about 80fps on that load after 200 or so rounds. That 2900fps load is a peach. I also worked up a load with 155 Absolute Hammers at 3100fps. Those things do a number on whitetails.

What is the length of barrel? And what load do you use?
26” Bartlein 6.5x47. Plan to use 42.0-42.5 of H4350 with 123 ELDM’s and 40-ish of H4350 with the 140’s. Also have some Shooters World Long Rifle to experiment with since I had good results with the Precision Rifle when Varget was tough to find.

Edit: 42-42.5 for 123’s

Usually hang out in the AI pic thread, but here's one of my Zermatt Origin builds, as pictured it's running a 20" 1:9 Hawk Hill .308 barrel, but it also runs 6.5CM and 6.5PRC barrels (gotta love the swappable bolt heads on the Origin). It's sitting in a KRG Whiskey 3 folder with the comp forend and arca spigot with a gen 3 Razor HD for glass.

Got my rifle all together now. My switch barrel setup, that's the 338 edge barrel at the moment. I'll be driving south for the 2024 Night Force ELR Steel Challenge in Wyoming. Going to be a great time.

How do you like that KS arms action? Is that the 3 lug? I'm considering doing a build with one

It's a great action, the 3 Lug is so smooth, it locks up tight with no effort. When I switched barrels from 300 PRC to the 338 edge, zero poi shift left or right. Just higher do to increased velocities. I also have a Valkyrie built by KS Arms and its a tac driver, even with factory Hornady. It's an action really worth considering, or a barreled action, KS Arms makes their barrels in house.
 
Most recent build. This will serve as a backup rifle for PRS competitions.

I looked into building a 6.5prc on a Greyboe stock, KS Arms action, and a Kreiger barrel. But when I saw this factory Bregara Premier Pro, I had to jump at it. You just can’t build one for the Bergara’s money. Yeah, yeah…I know the obvious. But when the time comes, I‘ll re-barrel with a straight pipe.

I happen to love the stock (I have an HMR). The ergonomics fit me like a glove. And the Premier action looks to be a step above the HMR’s. Now just waiting on the glass (next week). I’m looking forward to load development with the Berger 140gr Hybrid Targets.

I love my pro. Shoots great.
