300 Win Mag 5R
Timney Trigger
Mcree Stock
USO SN-3 TPAL
Still need a suppressor...
So I am breaking the rules with this one.. but I was breaking the gun in... ya know.. shooting it. I only had crappy factory remington corelokts... So here is my best 5 shot string prone @ 100 yards... So anyways, I was pretty proud of this group even though its not valid cause I am only showing one group... I was happy as hell to shoot this with factory ammo..I cannot wait to work up some hand loads for this gun.
The gun seemed to "settle down" around 50 or 60 rounds...

You know, for a factory out of the box production gun... its pretty tough to beat.
This is with new 25x M1 scope. Also red knob was fab'd in the plastic prototype machine here at work; having a friend/machine shop owner spin up and anodize a dozen of them.

eh its not bad... but my last magnum rifle was a 300 WBY.
I think it helps if you are a big dude... Im 6'1 260lbs, so I absorb recoil thanks to my tactical padding. I am looking for a suppressor to help reduce some of the recoil of the win mag... but all in all its not that bad... but, it is more than a .308 thats for damn sure!!!

Who did that action? The knob and bolt looks awesome!
Marty Kolbet @ twistedbarrel.com did the bolt and knob combo. I had the bolt fluted, handle threaded and tactical knob installed all at the same time and it ran bout $120. Total turn around was 2 weeks including shipping time.
The big knob was something i just designed when i was bored at work.
New member but longtime lurker here. Also a newbe to long range shooting. The 5R looks like the one for me but the palmswell on the stock does not fit me at all. I can't get a grip at all. I really like the lines and looks of the stock but can't stand that grip area. Is there a stock thats like this one without the palmswell? I even like the color of the 5R stock. I've fondled a LTR and it fits and feels great but it's not stainless which I've decided I want in my next rifle. Pardon my rambling but one won't get answers without asking. Love all the pics here.
I feel the same way about that palm swell. It's just too big. Just take it off and sell it. Lots of guys do like that stock and it will fetch around $200 bucks. From there, you just need to decide what you do like. I put mine in the A5 and couldn't be happier. Looks better, feels better, and recoil seems to be cut in half. If you're on a budget, you should look at the B@C stocks.
