MCS-T with a Bartlein #3

[chawk]

I've searched and googled to the best of my ability but haven't come up with anything...

I'm looking for some pictures of an MCS-T with a Bartlein #3 barrel (Krieger #4, Brux #4 would work too). Does anyone have this combo and if so would you be willing to share some pictures?

Thanks.

Re: MCS-T with a Bartlein #3

Chawk,

I'm currently having a similar rifle built. Its purpose is a light(er) weight hunting rifle. Most of my rifles are well over 10lbs so I tried to keep this one light and simple. It is as follows:

Chambered in 6.5x47L
MCS-T
Rem700 SA
Tubb recoil lug
Krieger #5 @ 22" (Bull sporter)
Williams BDL bottom metal
NF rail
NF ultralight rings
Scope: Not decided yet

I went with the Krieger #5 because I wanted my barrel to be atleast .720"+ at the finished muzzle diameter. I have a phobia of skinny barrel rifles since I got into tac/comp/Precison shooting. No real driven reason behind it, I just don't like them anymore. This will be a light weight rifle (to me anyway). It should be done in the next 3-5 weeks. I'd be glad to send you a few pics of it if you'd like.

Also, take a look on 24hr Campfire. They have a pretty good picture thread that has tons of rifles with #2 and #3 type barrels in MCS-T style stocks and similar.
If I can be of anymore help to you, just let me know.

Re: MCS-T with a Bartlein #3

Thanks for the info. I checked out 24hr campfire and saw a lot of pictures which did help some... although I didn't find any with an MCS-T and that profile. I'm trying to decide if this barrel profile will look too small for the MCS-T.

I have a build in the works with a similar purpose in mind. A lighter weight hunting rifle...

It was spec'd as:
MCS-T
Rem 700 LA
Bartlein #4 @ 24" (bull sporter)
chambered in 25-06.

My dilemma is, for whatever reason, the barrel that came in to the smith is a #3. I am simply trying to decide if I want to move forward with the #3 or wait for a #4 replacement to be made.

Thanks again.

Anyone...

Re: MCS-T with a Bartlein #3

Chawk,

Most folks around here don't run "skinny barrels" like the #3 your asking about or the #5 that I'm having my rifle built with. With this being a more tactical/precision based forum, 99% of the people here are building rifles with Rem Varmint contours (.830") or larger.

Like I said, 24hr Campfire or Predator Masters will be a much better place to get info and pics.

I think the MCS-T would be perfect for a #3. If you want a #4 in a hurry try bugholes.com. He should have Brux in stock and ready to go. If not just stick with the #3 if it's for hunting it would be great I think.

Trevor and KPK,

Thank you.

Pretty close...223ai, 700, McMillan Sako style stock (similar to MCS-T), Brux #3 8 twist, Badger M4 bottom metal, tuned remington trigger.

A NF 2.5-10x32 mil/mil sits on top now, as does a TAB sling. It's my all around hunting rifle...light, accurate, and fun to shoot.

Some time ago there was a guy selling a "youth" .243 with a T stock and it didn't look bad at all. I'd have no problem buying that stock for a sporter weight barrel.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but should be close.
