baldie Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Here you go Neil. This is Charlie,s 6 x 47. Thought you would like to see the finished job buddy. Its a lovely gun. Neil built this beautiful rifle, based on a surgeon. Dont know what the barrel is, but its sat in a manners stock, bedded, and a jewel trigger. I,ve just done the paint for a mutual customer. The pattern is GAP digital, which is coyote tan, matt black and OD green, under satin laquer. Barrelled action is Satin black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oaken Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 That is one fine looking rifle! Dave, that must be the Manners T5A. The website says the T5 is fully ambidextrous but the T5A isn't. While you have the rifle to hand, can you tell me if it is just the rising cheek piece that is sided or the whole grip arrangment. I can't tell from pics on the website.

Elwood Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Very nice indeed. Dave what colour black is that? (sounds odd but I know there are many different blacks!) also I'm guessing its a gloss finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Off the top of my head Rup, i think the grip has a slight thumbrest on the left. The cheekpiece is ambi and if i remember right, the adjuster can be reversed. Ian, Thats Heckler and Kock satin black on the action. Its a new bottle and it is slightly glossier than normal for some reason. However, it was dull when i took the pics, and i think the flash has made it look shinier than it actually is.

Danpd Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Neil also built my 6x47 Lapua. If this gun shoots anything like mine, the new owner will be very happy indeed. Its a Stiller Predator, Jewell Trigger, 24" 10 twist Pacnor Super Match, in the first T5A Mini Chassis in the country (buddy in the Usa sourced it for me) shoots in the .1s and .2s with 70gr Nosler BT and 38.2gr of N135 3545fps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyH Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Where does one get those Atlas bipods? I thought they were hard to find, something about the US military buying all they could make. Seems an excellent design. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 I had the last one sporting services had the other day. They told me that Atlas had just won a large military contract and were basically giving up on the civilian market to concentrate on the order. I hope Dan can still get some ?

danno Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Dave... Dan told me that he was getting a small monthly quota.....order early! Due to the popularity of Atlas in the US, the bipods have always been hard to keep in stock, and recently this situation has become worse. B&T industries have just won a number of large contracts for the Atlas on top of what they already have. They have now stopped sales to the civillian market and are only supplying to dealers who already have an existing monthly order agreement with them. We are one of those dealers. We still get them every month and do our best to ensure that we can supply all of the bipod varients within the numbers we have available. This sometimes means that we need to add your requirements to the next months order as we are usually sold out before the shipment arrives.

Thanks for that, just looked at Dan's site - expensive bipods but I read a US review and they seem very well designed, lighter than Harris, no squeaky springs... I've used Harris for years, have two with Podlocks currently, and they're excellent kit. But the Atlas might be better. Must smash my piggy-bank...

Tony Hi Tony, You won't regret the change from Harris, the quality of the Atlas is superb. If you change the bipod between rifles then it's not an overly expensive investment, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you change the bipod between rifles then it's not an overly expensive investment, Alan I second that having used mine for the first time yesterday... they do have an edge over Harris. Need to remember Baldies advice to me that you must 'load' the bipod by pushing forward a little to take up the slack...solid as a rock once you get used to that technique.

TonyH Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Tony, If you get a Atlas then let me have first dibs on your Harris. Tony. Sure, Tony. Yesterday I asked Dan to put me down for an Atlas so I'll have at least one (maybe two) Harris bipods in need of a new home. I have the Type S BR model, and the standard 9"-13" (?) one too, both in excellent nick with Podlocks. No idea what these go for. I'll let you know as and when.

There are several YouTube videos of the Atlas but , explains the features & functioning very clearly with good camerawork - unlike some so-called reviews out there.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
