    I believe it is around 10 lbs, but I do remember that particular stock weighs 41.5 oz.

    New 7SAW meat stick on a Mac Bros element.

    From WTO below, but I'd guess the "legacy" reamer is the original design with the .045 throat. "For shooters using the AI A/W 10rd mags, Alpha Mags, or the extended Accurate-Mag AICS pattern magazines and 162-168gr VLD type bullets the 7mm SAW II chamber works perfectly, allowing full use of...

    New 7SAW meat stick on a Mac Bros element.

    Very nice, should be fun. Type I or II reamer? I just got my 7 SAW brass and dies for an upcoming barrel, but haven't decided on a Type I set up on a bighorn or a Type II on a tikka.

    7mm SAW

    I have a Harvester 300 that I sent back twice for "baffle failures". It worked flawlessly for approximately 2,000 rounds on a 22" 7-08, a 21.5" .243., and a 22" .280 Ackley. I then put it on an 18" 6.5x47 and started to run into trouble. Both times, the baffle closest to the crown...

    Your PVA prefit experience

    I asked the same question a few weeks back and the answer is yes, it's just not on the drop down menu. It's a .284 reamer set up for LA and apparently some people were ordering it expecting it to work for a SA, so there was some confusion. He said you just need to call and place an order for...

    Your PVA prefit experience

    I've got a PVA Osprey barrel blank in their 3b and here are the specs on mine: 6mm, 27" blank = 61.7 oz. I got them to contour the shank down to the "Tikka" OD and it measures 1.145" at the breech end, so keep that in mind. I'm planning on a 6 creed at 18-20" so I'm guessing final weight...

    Your PVA prefit experience

    @bohem I've got one of your osprey blanks in 6mm that's at the smith now, looking forward to trying it out soon. I noticed in your pre-fit chamber selections you don't offer .284 Winchester. Just wanted to verify if that is correct or not. Gonna be shopping for a .284 Win pre-fit for my...

    Tikka chassis that utilizes OEM mags and will take a Proof Sendero barrel?

    You may want to check out Woox. They are heavy bastards but look good. A chassis and factory mags, but it looks like you may have to special order a Proof Sendero channel. I've eyed them for a while, just too heavy for my uses. wooxstore.com "TIKKA T3-T3X-T1X • Magazine DM – T3...

    Grayboe Phoenix fits the bill for OEM mags and barrel channel.

    Rifle Scopes Swarovski Z6 scopes...Durability??

    I have the NX8 4-32 in SFP and it does surprisingly well in low light when you back it down to the 10-16 power range. Not as quite as good as the Swaro, to be sure, but not too far off really. I haven't "tested" them side by side, so this is just from hunting experience. Also, I've never used...

    Rifle Scopes Swarovski Z6 scopes...Durability??

    I've been using a Z6i 3-18x50 with the BT for about 4 years now on a .280 AI. Its always tracked true and RTZ is spot on. While I agree, the BT system doesn't feel great, it has worked as advertised so far. Now, I don't beat the crap out of it but it has worked flawlessly. Obviously, the...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Very nice. Curious as to velocities you are seeing? I've got a barrel I'm about to spin up in 6 creed, undecided on length, but have toyed with idea of a 16"-18". Thx

    Received my 6mm barrel blank the other day. I had you turn it down for the Tikka shank and it is spot on, can't wait to spin it up. I'll let you know how it does. Thanks.

    Schmidt bender klassic 3-12x50 issues

    I bought the same exact scope from Euro optic a year ago. It exhibits none of those traits. No noise and the illumination is perfect, no bleeding. Think yours may need repair or replacement, unfortunately.
