New video is up with my old (recently modified) 2000 Ruger M77 MK-II 7mm-08 All-Weather Stainless Mountain Rifle, and my Otter Creek Labs Hydrogen-S 7.62 suppressor.
Why don't you ever show the groups in your videos?
Well, 1.) I don't always get the time to go look at groups and take pictures before the targets get all shot-up, and 2.) Most of the time in these videos I'm shooting steel, not paper, so groups aren't really getting measured for that. Typically the only time I get the ability to shoot clean video without a ton of background gunshots is right at 12-noon on the dot, on Sundays (the minute they open), before anyone else shows up to the range. I try to get there early, get setup, and get everything ready to video really fast, so right when they open, I can quickly just hit the record button, and get some decent clean footage.
Also, I typically only take pictures of my groups if I'm doing load development, for documentation of load data and measuring with Ballistic-X. But on occasion, if a rifle puts down an extra-impressive group, I'll tell folks not to shoot at that target, and if they call for a cold range to go setup their own, then I'll walk down and snap a picture of them. Being that the range is semi-private, rando's will shoot up your targets because they're just idiot rednecks that don't ask or care. I'm working on getting some land to setup my own private range on just for me. My house in town is under contract (for sale), and once I close on that at the beginning of next month, I'll start looking hard at land, with all that cash from the other sale to plop down and a down payment on a nice parcel.
In this video I'm not, but usually you can hear it thud or ting in other videos. Most times I'm shooting the steel at 200, so it's not as prominent, as if it was closer. In this video, I'm just shooting paper at 200 to see how it groups while trying to holdover on it, because that scope doesn't dial, and has large stadia in the BDC, so it makes holdovers kind of tricky.
Yeah that's hot

Great looking rifle by the way. Everyone with their chassis rifles... I still prefer a stock and always will.
Is planned, as well as an E-Tac version in this tech. Priority on T3 E-Lite Evo. Hoping for spring 24.

Thanks.
We have experimented a bit over the years and thinking of improvements for the next gen.
An extreme version, two of these we made for husband & wife Luxembourg target shooters. Think it was used in France ELR.

Minor question - what suppressor cover are you running? That one looks nice and tidy.
Big shout out to Zack Donovant at Old Dominion Custom Rifles. His customer service is truly unbelievable.

It's typically ill advised to tear down and reconfigure your hunting rifle two weeks before elk season, but this has worked out wonderfully.
Shown is my 6.5 prc elk and deer rifle for Colorado hiking hunts. It's 12lbs 7oz as shown, which is the absolute limit of what I am willing to carry. I haven't hunted with a rifle under 11.5 lbs so...this is normal for me.
Why tear my rifle down? I shoot a short action in a KRG bravo all year long. I was shooting a long action 6.5 prc in a stock I liked but didn't love like the bravo. After running the numbers, I figured I could end up shooting a rifle that feels identical to what I shoot all year, with a suppressor, for a 1/2lb increase over my rifle setup last year.
So, I went for it. I stole the action from my comp gun as matches for me are done and another action is on order, cobbled together a krg bravo from spare parts and blem sales, swapped optics, put the barrel on, and got the rifle up and running two weeks ago. The best part is the barrel is already broken in and I have data for it. It rips. It pulled a .370" group for the last shots I've put through it and averages .650" over the past 40+ rounds of measured groups. It's familiar as can be as far as ergos go, and just happens to punch a bit more than my target gun.
This is heavy as far a hunting rifle is concerned and I know this. However, I know for a fact I can shoot this rifle well, and that means a lot to me when taking a shot on game.
I will pull a few oz here and there to finalize for next year but right now, It's dialed.
Specs:
- Bighorn origin short
- Krg bravo(painted by MUAH with alumahyde)
- 24" Proof Carbon 6.5 PRC
- AAC sdn6/ranger7 direct thread
- Burris xtr3 3.3-18 scr2 mil
- Hawkins ultralight rings w/level
- Atlas v8
- Trigger tech primary

Thank you - and here ya go. Definitely stays put and still looks new after the last 8-900 rounds I've shot since I got it. https://www.cole-tac.com/product-category/custom-suppressor-covers/

This is an old Ruger 181 Mini -14 charter boat "shark gun" I found it in a pawn shop. Gas block was cracked and barrel was full of copper. Had been rode hard and put away wet.
The little rifle was totally broken down, barrel cleaned to brite steel, barrel recut, re-crowned, gas piston replaced and fitted, gas block replaced with an Accuracy International adjustable block, SS 8" barrel shroud, actuator rod polished, an action job, trigger job to 3 lbs, action 100% glass bedded. Wichita center mount scope base, recoil pad to get 1/2" more length of pull.
Went from a 6" maybe gun gun to a 3/8 inch reliable gun.

Looks like my prototype Remington CSR is finally finished! It took me about 5 to 6 years to find the original carbon fiber handguard and the original contract 14.5" barrel (pinned/welded)! I also found this prototype NightForce Mil-Spec ATACR scope with the Beast elevation turret. Other ATACR's have had this elevation knob, but this is the first 4-16x that we've seen that has it. This rifle is absolutely amazing, it's one of my favorites!
Here's the previous NF Mil-Spec ATACR on the CSR:
Before the carbon fiber parts:
My M40A6 also has a carbon fiber handguard, but I don't know if I'll keep it like this. The CSR is definitely staying the way it is now.
This week I had some high resolution photos taken of one of my original USMC M40 sniper rifles. Great photos, but the rifle still looks better in person! Nothing beats the aesthetics of vintage sniper rifles!

It's not a bolt-action, but it's damn-accurate for an AK...

What are the details of this chassis mate?
Top is my Cz 550 Varmint 308, in the factory 750 sniper stock. Bushnell elite tactical 6-24x50 G2DMR, and a SiCo 762 Specwar hanging off the muzzle. Typically yields 1/3 MOA with home rolled. Just started taking it out to 760 yards, as my new local range only goes that far. Pulled a 2.5" group at 600 yards a few weeks ago with 155 Palmas over 45.0 8208XBR.
Bottom is a RRA upper/lower/internals with WOA 18" SPR. I also run the Specwar on it, and it currently has the same G2DMR on it. I have also been able to take it out to 760 yards with 55fmj over 25.0 H335.

MDT LSX Gen 2 (fixed), chopped up Reptillia grip, Strike Carbine to Picatinny adapter, A3 Tactical folding Picatinny stock, custom cheek risers I turned on the lathe today cause I couldn't stand the plastic, and it accepts magpul butt pads. Light weight and ugly, I painted it all today:
Little fifty shades action going on but I like how it looks. Will be running a suppressed 22-250 short barrel on it. TBD if I will run my daytime optics with a red light or my NV optic with an IR spotter.
