Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice! I can't wait to get mine in. It would have been done already if the damn Seekins rings I ordered would have cleared my NF.

Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a long wait but well worth it. When my buddies and boss looked at it thier jaws about hit the floor!
 
Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice rifle. I have that exact same bolt knob on my 6.5 Creedmoor!
 
Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the DD Ross Knob. Some dont and go big like the badger on my 6.5-284. I wanted something different a little slimmer. I really like the way it turned out.
 
Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goodnight guys talk to ya tommorrow!
 
Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great looking rifle(s). If it shoots half as well as it looks, you're in for good times.

What color ratio is the Baker molded in?
 
Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!

The color is sage green. By Jered Joplin

The stock, whew its been a long time since I ordered it. Tan, darker tan, od green? 50-25-25 molded? Something like that it your interested in ordering one I can call Mcmillan and get the exact specs.

The ring height is the 34mm aluminum Badger ring. I was a little concerned about the ring height because I knew the barrel was going to be BIG. That why I went with the taller one just to make sure.
 
Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!

All these people look at the pics but no comments. Come on guys
 
Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very hot looking rigs.

If I lived any closer I'd offer to come help you break em in!haha
 
Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!

marku,

Nice rifle!!! Mine is close to being done, just wating for Badger to ship my base and rings to Jered and the boys.


I'm getting ansy!!
 
Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful stick!

I do have one question though. What is the benefit of the 7-300WSM over a 7mmWSM? It looks to me like the case dimensions are almost identical.
 
Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!

Case dimension are almost the same. The neck on a 7mm-300wsm is a little longer. 99.9% of people couldnt tell a differece between them. I just wanted something a little different than everyone else.
 
Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice rifle, i really like that stock and paint combo.

i need to get in line and order one up
 
Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks marku!

That's all I could see was the difference in the neck. I thought maybe I was missing something!
 
Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im getting my .309 bushing tommorow along with some H4831SC and a range report to follow.
 
Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!

UPDATE!

I had a little time today so I took it to the 50yd indoor range to fireform some brass and break in the barrel and get it on paper. As usual with PAI rifles it flat out shoots! I know its only 50yds and I shouldnt be that excited but I shot the smallest group ever at the 50yd line. 3 shots went into 1 hole. Not oblonng or a cloverleaf it looks like 1 .284 cal hole but 3 shots were in it. That was with 61.0 gr H4831 and a 180gr Berger VLD. Im going to try and make it to the 100yd range tommorrow.
 
Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bring a camera tomorrow too!! What kind of OAL are you seating the bullets to?
 
Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!

.010 off lands

Ill take a pic tommorrow. If it shoot anything like it did at 50yds it will easiy be under a 1/2moa rifle.

BTW that Fat Boy brake Jered builds is INSANE. The blast is awesome! The blast from the brake is the only thing that makes the rifle move when it goes off. NO recoil at all.

I know but here it is. 50yds though. Fireforming brass and breaking in barrel.

3 shots in that 1 hole
 
Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!

bet you cant wait to get that thing out to 600 meters. nice looking set up! the 1" badgers would give you about 1/8" clearence on the shank with that 5x25 schmidt.

that 180 berger will shoot a long, long, ways!!!

good luck with it!!
 
Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cant go out today 25 degrees out with a gusting 35-40 mph wind from the Northwest. This sucks.
 
Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, got a question once sited in how do you zero the elevation knob. If I recall there was a thread on this week or so ago but a seach came up with nothing.
 
Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just simply unscrew the small allen screws on the elevation turret a turn or two then gently turn the turret to 0 before retightening. All in all a 2 min job.

Re: Got my Patriot Arms 7mm-300wsm today!!!!!!!!!!!!
