    Lightweight hunting build

    That's funny, I was strongly considering the Kahles 318i for this build as well. Ultimately, it was the below thread that persuaded me to the S&B due to the Kahles limited FOV. It just didn't seem right sacrificing FOV on a rifle who's primary use is hunting. Good luck on your decisions...

    Lightweight hunting build

    I've posted this in other threads, but here's a recent build I put together with almost exactly your stated intent. Without bipod and scope it's right at 7lbs. Yes, I know I put a damn 2lb scope on a lightweight rifle... every man has his weaknesses. Stock - Manners MCS-TA w/ mini-chassis...

    Show me your McMillan a6 and a5

    If memory serves, I split it 33% Olive / 33% Tan / 34% Light Tan. It was at Diana at McMillan's suggestion from her personal rifle, and she's since passed away.

    2 Camping/Tent Questions. Need Help Please!

    If you want floorless and good ventilation, go with the Kifaru Sawtooth. You can even put a stove in it, and stand up while you get dressed. Just use a tarp with it as a ground covering. There is a learning curve on these things, so set it up at least twice before trying in the field. If you...

    Dan Post, Tecovas and Luchese???

    I went through this earlier this year, and now own two pairs of Lucchese. It was a good move, although I admittedly got lucky and ordered boots that naturally fit me well. As to proper fit, review the material on Lucchese's website carefully regarding ideal heel slip and forefoot feel, and...

    Rifle Scopes S&B 3-20x50-PM II Ultra Short, opinions, 1500m work

    S&B updated this scope for the "DT II+" turrets recently. If the elevation turrets look short like the 5-20US, they are the older variety. If they're taller, it's the new one. Difference is the MTC (More Tactile Clicks) are discernible at every 5th click, and there is a rotating device on the...

    First Custom Rifle Build | Tips Appreciated

    Keep in mind you can eliminate a lot of guesswork with the Manners/Zermatt/Proof combination. Manners can install the chassis for the TL3, and you can order the pre-fit barrel from Proof. Shortest CF barrel Proof offers in 6.5CM is 20", which is threaded 5/8x24. The Manners chassis would also...

    Tenebraex scope caps.

    Keep in mind the cap can be rotated such that the hinge is on the 9 or 3 o'clock position. This greatly reduces the clearance. Here's a 50mm obj on a tapered barrel with a 1" high ring. The cap will not clear when the hinge is in the 12 o'clock position, but this isn't a problem when rotated...

    Sanity Check on build/soliciting feed back on a couple of discreet points

    For reference, here's the rifle next to an XM-3. Only difference from the .mil version is the McMillan A5 stock (pictured) vs. the A1-3. Difference in overall length is 2.5". The picture makes the XM-3 appear much longer. The XM-3 is a heavy bitch. Incidentally, its weight while being used...

    Maggie’s Motivational Pic Thread v2.0 - - New Rules - See Post #1

    I fully support more titty pics. Shooter65 is doing God's work. His efforts have directly contributed to fully desensitizing my wife from titty pics on my laptop. Doesn't even phase her anymore, and she even compliments some of them. Carry on.

    Sanity Check on build/soliciting feed back on a couple of discreet points

    Here's what I put together, it's pretty close to what you're proposing. Manners MCS-TA Zermatt TL3 SA Proof 20" CF in 6.5CM Triggertech 2-stage, flat shoe Scope will be a S&B 3-20x50US. Rifle as pictured is right at 7lbs. I own a 18.5" barreled 308, and would recommend sticking with the...

    Self Assembly vs Smith

    I purchased a TL3, Manners, and Proof barrel and had the same dilemma. In the end, I sent it to Josh at Altus and he put it all together for a very small fee. After I added up what it would cost for a vise, torque wrench, and action wrench, it just made more sense to send it off. They will...

    Groups opening up with SOCOM 7.62 RC2

    I had this same issue with a Surefire 762 suppressor purchased in 2008 (forget the model number). Groups would open up once the barrel got hot. I could shoot <1moa for the first 6 shots, and then it would repeatably go low-left up to 6" @ 100yds. I'm no expert shot, but I can maintain a damn <6"...
