Savage .300 blackout custom build

[Ryan327]

My first from the ground up build and can see how addicting it can be.

Started as a Savage 12 left handed action in .223 from Jim Briggs at Northland Shooters Supply. Picked up from my local dealer and then had my friend Chris at Hansohn Brothers barrel it with a BFG 16.5 varmint barrel in .300blk, 1:8.

Chassis is from XLR industries, EGW 20 MOA that was shortened by XLR. Seekins high rings, SWFA SS 3-9x42, and an Atlas bipod.

Then to top it all off, a Thunderbeast 30P-1 from Immortal Arms. Still waiting for the ATF approval but was able to stop by and put a few rounds through the can yesterday.

I couldn't be more happy with how it all came out and even more with how quiet it is!

Nice set up. You shoot any subs out of it? I have a 300 blackout Sbr that puts my suppressed 308 and 300 win mag to shame. i guess it is the small case capacity and powder used. Should be good for quite some range with 125's or similar

When you start loading your own (if not already) try 8.9 gr. VVN110 and a Hornady 225 match bullet. I'm having a lot of luck with that combination.

Just started load development, just some 110 gr v-max loaded as supers over little gun and then over trail boss for subs.

Pictures are of supers in seven shot group at .2 spacing and then 5 more. All at 50 yards since it is the max i had that day, but it should tighten up even more.
