Tight bore Krieger barrel on my Badger M2008. Finished off at 18" I'm wondering what kind of velocities I'll get. .2980 bore and .3065 groove, 12 twist. Should be interesting!

Beautiful though.
 
Re: Another barrel for my M2008

She's a beaut salmon! What sling and trigger is that?
 
Re: Another barrel for my M2008

Hey I have on a pair of boots just like those!

Nice stick though, I wish I had a M2008 action to build up with. Very nice looking.
 
Re: Another barrel for my M2008

It's a CG Jackson 2 stage trigger. Sling is Tactical Intervention Specialists Quick Cuff. (Tactical/Mike/Undude makes them.)

...I'm probably going to order another action and have a pair of badgers. Harvest the AICS 2.0 from my 5R and the CG trigger.
 
Re: Another barrel for my M2008

How do you like the trigger. Been considering using them for a while just cant seem to make up my mind.
 
Re: Another barrel for my M2008

What a strikingly beautiful rifle!

Watch your pressures with a "tight bore"
Are you a moly shooter?
Might be fun to try with a good cast bullet if you want to see what that barrel will really do.
 
Re: Another barrel for my M2008

I really like the trigger. I have two of them so far.

I don't think I'd ever want to mess with moly. Just sounds like a big pain in the ass. I'm definitely going to be watching the pressures. Most likely I'll be trying bullets that the tightbore was designed for. 155's that have a really short engagement area. Maybe the new Sierra palma?

Cast bullet? For what purpose? (I'd like to know more.)
 
Re: Another barrel for my M2008

They are mythical 35mm Badger ordinance rings. I think they're made from unicorn horns or something.

I do have an extra ARD that I could put on the end. Maybe I should stack all my ARDs and take a pic...

Great idea...then turn that FTE brake 90 degrees, that way you'll blow the dust off your lens every time you shoot. It's like a self cleaning scope..........you'll thank me later.
 
Re: Another barrel for my M2008

I want my skins to be your color.

My Palma rifle has the same dimensions. Can't say you should expect much difference with it. Standard loads deliver expected velocities in mine.
 
Re: Another barrel for my M2008

That's some sweet carpet too. So clean.

It looks soft.

Do you shampoo?

And the rifles OK. Kinda shiny.
 
Re: Another barrel for my M2008

I've seen that setup somewhere before
 
Re: Another barrel for my M2008

M852 shot at a velocity of 2550ft/s. I think that's pretty impressive considering I keep reading that is supposed to be the suggested velocity of M852.
