    Eliseo Chassis

    I have two. RTM in 284 Win with a Mutant action. RTS in 6.5 SLR on a 700 action. Both are very accurate, having printed 3 shot groups under .25" at 100 yds. For Tactical and Long Range shooting, they are more than accurate enough. They take the bedding out of the equation, and the rifles...

    6.5 140 AMAX in stock at Brownells 3/1/13

    I ordered a thousand the other day myself. I guess this will be my 6.5SLR bullet this year due to availability.

    Range Report 3,000 and counting. 6.5x47

    Re: 3,000 and counting. 6.5x47 I have heard other reports of those LW50 barrels being longer wearing than a regular 416R stainless barrel. This is a nice data point to add to that info.

    Rifle Gem @ Shot, McMillan CS5

    Re: Rifle Gem @ Shot, McMillan CS5 Forgive me for my ignorance, but what does this rifle bring to the party that a properly equipped Eliseo tube gun does not? With a custom action, a good trigger and barrel, it seems the tube gun is just as good. Take down capability, magazine capability...

    CZ 455 Precision Trainer and a Timney trigger

    Re: CZ 455 Precision Trainer and a Timney trigger I removed a few thousandths from the length of the sear that engages the bottom of the firing pin. This needs to be tuned for each rifle. The safety needs to be function checked after that. A phone call to Timney can clarify this. They...

    CZ 455 Precision Trainer and a Timney trigger

    Re: CZ 455 Precision Trainer and a Timney trigger I can provide an update on my CZ455 PT. I had a local gunsmith thread the barrel for my Sparrow, bedded the action in Devcon, and tuned the Timney trigger. It needed a bit stoned off the length to work correctly. I shot it this past weekend...

    Tube guns...who has them and how do they compare

    Re: Tube guns...who has them and how do they compare I cannot compare the ergonomics to an AICS, but I have a Rem 700 in a McMillan A-5. I like the tubegun ergonomics better, because the bolt rides inside the stock, and thus the barrel axis is a bit lower when shooting. Additionally, the...

    Tube guns...who has them and how do they compare

    Re: Tube guns...who has them and how do they compare I have two of them and absolutely love them. One is an RTS chambered in 260 Rem. I've put five match kings into .214 at 100, and shot 2" steel squares at 525 yds reliably. I have a new RTM in 284 Win, and it just put three shots into .091"...

    CZ 455 Precision Trainer and a Timney trigger

    Re: CZ 455 Precision Trainer and a Timney trigger I have a CZ455 PT with the Manners stock. I put a Timney trigger in it, and a scope rail. The rifle as delivered (Cheaper than Dirt) has no bedding. I bedded the whole action and an inch of the barrel. The action did "ring" in the stock...

    6mm Creedmoor performance rundown

    Re: 6mm Creedmoor performance rundown I've got to agree here. I've seen him shoot, and the cartridge is a great performer. Once the dope was verified, the 6 CM was very accurate, and good in the wind. Did not seem to be very picky when it came to developing the load. Sometimes it seems you...
