    Finally......

    Thanks everyone. It's a real powder puff in the recoil department. With the weight and the fantastic apa brake..... no worries. My wife actually enjoyed shooting it with me, and she won't touch my hunting rifles. The only thing, just like any big(er) powder burner is that the muzzle blast is...

    308, I already told him (well my cousin and myself together) that if I ever won the lottery he would have a full time job in a very well equipped shop.... LMAO. I appreciate the compliments and I will pass them on to my smith.... I am not the artist, just the wallet on this one. LOL On a side...

    Shooting at 1825 yards

    Nice video! I like that you can do that with your phone now. My buddy and I were watching the wind and could almost tell that it had changed from the 2 to 3 shot just before you broke the trigger. That's some fine shooting though!!! What are the specs on your rig?

    Finally......

    Kind of a funny story the way this rifle came together. I was bent on getting a fifty during my last deployment. I did all my research and cost analysis etc etc.... After many long talks with my cousin we decided a lapua would be a better option. At this point we started laying out the...

Thanks to all that share good advice and information. Okay enough bs.... surgeon xl broughton canted 9.3...

    338 lapua without a brake?

    Re: 338 lapua without a brake? you could always get a brake with the same threads that your can would have and when you are not using the can, just thread on the brake. But the down side might be a shift of impact so a few spotters MAY be needed. I guess it depends on your loads and your...

    The word "Budget"...

    Re: The word "Budget"... Okay, so I am illiterate eh? Yes my former rant was a bit on the extreme side. And I apologized for that, however, I shall again. I had a long day at work and was goosed up on painkillers due to a broken foot. Still sound of mind, yet the fingers wouldn't follow...

    The word "Budget"...

    Re: The word "Budget"... Idiocy at it's best. Are you an asshole? Nope, just ignorant plain and simple. And yes I do have a couple VERY expensive sticks. But then again I guess we should all be saving for a bugatti veyron to be in our driveways too cuz our "budget" jeeps and fords and...

    Re: 5000 meters+ Supersonic Plans are in mix for a payload, as far as penetration goes.... well with a penetrator type round and 44k energy you can guess what won't it go through.....

    Re: wildest hunting video I ever seen. wow, that's just overwhelming by numbers there! and balls!!! I am not a fan of watching animals suffer either but folks gotta eat. My question is how many animals did they have to kill in order get everyone fed!? And it's crazy how all those spear...

    I need YOUR input!

    Re: I need YOUR input! My builder just sent me a video of the build process leading up the test fire for a custom .338 lm. Talk about freaking awesome! It puts the period at the end of sentence in my opinion and really shows me how much time and meticulus work goes into these things. Of...

    6.5 Grendel Muzzle Brake/Flash Hiders

    Re: 6.5 Grendel Muzzle Brake/Flash Hiders I had a vais on mine and for all intense purposes did not notice any recoil reduction. the only thing I got was a great looking brake and a face full of dirt and grass every time I fired. Then again, the grendel really doesn't have much recoil to...

    5000 meters+ Supersonic (*Updated with pics*)

    Re: 5000 meters+ Supersonic A little clarification AGAIN..... yes the belle of the ball seems to be the monstrosity of the rifle being built, however, Jon is doing this "cannon" just to show of his cartridge that he came up with. The ballistics are just so freaking astounding that if given an...
