Newest Little Addition

[Cigarcop]

My new 18".308 actually built by two Smiths, Carl Bernoski trued the action and chambered it and Kampfeld added his touches and it came out beautifully.

I used a Remmy 700 action that was a friend of mine in the PD who passed away, so I wanted to use it for obvious reasons & I think Nick would approve!

Rock 5R 11.25 twist MTU, Sako extractor, side bolt release, custom knob, Bolt and Barrel 360 dgr Spiral Fluted, Badger Base & Rings, threaded 5/8x24 with cap, Jewell trigger, topped with a Mark4 8.5x25, and a new coat of Cerakote.

Target at 500Yrds before being sent to Kampfelds

Re: Newest Little Addition

What a sweet handy little package that is. Few questions for ya, What is the weight and overall length of the rifle, and also what are you getting for velocity with those 175smk's in that length of barrel. Nice stick, definetly one to be proud of.

Re: Newest Little Addition

I am also curious about the velocity on that 18" barrel also.

Awesome looking stick and not to mention that it can shoot too.

I broke the barrel in with one box of FGM168's then I made 20 rds with the 44.5 Varget, .010 off to try and I think it was a winner.

I guessed at the velocity and used JBM at 2600FPS with that load and I was really close out to 500 (took 12MOA) and it looks like it is a little faster, not much but a bit.
Not sure about the weight, 37" the way it sits.

Re: Newest Little Addition

After having a .308 built off of my late brother-in-laws Rem. 700 that he was carrying when killed, I can relate to the sentimentality of your build. That is one beautiful rifle. One which I'm sure your Buddy would be proud. Congratulations!!!

Re: Newest Little Addition

I'm usually not a big fan of the spiral fluting, but on that short barrel it looks really good.
