baldie Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Hot off the press yesterday and out for a shoot later... This is an Odin action with 20 moa rail, fluted bolt , and fitted with a timney trigger. The brief was a short fatboy in a tactical stock. The barrel started life as a 30" heavy palma Benchmark and was chopped to 20" and screwcut 18mm x 1 and invisible capped. It will have a Tier 1 muzzle mounted moderator to go with it shortly. Designed to shoot heavier .30 calibre bullets, its a 1 in 10" twist. I think some subsonic loads are planned too. The stock is an XLR and it has a folding mechanism as well as all the usual adjustments. Sight is a Schmidt and Bender 5-25 x 56 and it has been painted in Ceracote coyote tan. The barrelled action is in the same, and the stock has been painted in 6 different colours of duracoat in a design based loosely on Cryptec Highlander. I say loosely because its impossible to apply the full masking pattern to a surface with as many bends, nooks and crannies as this. Cryptec only really suits a flat surface. This took over a day to do, and it was a right pig if I,m honest. Enjoyed this one....something a bit different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Took it out today on a lovely day up at Diggle, if fairly breezy. Shot and cleaned it for a few rounds whilst walking it onto a dot. Then shot this 5 round group. I did call the right hand shot as pulled, but its an honest group and they all count. This won't take much tweaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWShooter Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Very nice , what`s the weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Its heavy.... It also gave a very good account of itself at 2 and 300 yards mcqueens on Sunday. That was simply with a box of my ammo for my AX so the new owner could try it out. I get the feeling this is a gun that will shoot anything well.

ds1 Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 looks beautiful, think I would have called it chubby rather than fattie though. How solid is the lock-up of the folding stock.......no movement like an AI folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
