Toby Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Hi. I had a Sako M591 varmint in 22-250 rebarrelled to 6BR this summer. LW stainless 1-8"barrel 60cm. I also went for the McMillan game warden replacement stock, which luckily took under 4mnths from ordering. Feeds and ejects from floorplate magazine 100%, fast or slow. Shoots like a BR should from what I have read. Working up loads for 105 Amax and Nosler 70 Ballistic tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhunter Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Very nice Toby, I run 87gr v-max through mine superbly accurate. If you can get hold of the 95gr Sierra TMK give them a whirl a very good bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarovski1 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Another superb group from a 6mm br.i looked at one of them x bags the other day and was surprised they were £60 plus but with results like that it's worth every penny.gbal suggested a 15 inch one.i think the one I looked at was 11 inch.cheers swaro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience is that the medium bench bag is the best compromise for range/ field use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarovski1 Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 When I get one it will be for load developement though the one I looked at wasn't heavy at all.on the contrary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Longer is better...just as some weight is better than filing woth goose down (easier too!)-the underlying concept is after all,rifle stability under recoil,but Toby makes a sensible compromise-it's got to be portable 'in thefield'..or to the bench....or upstairs... They can be filled to the users personal refinements. The better ones will have a relatively grippy base,but allow some rifle recoil-in a straight line-along the inner ears-so no 'harris jump'-good though even a size 10 Harris jacket can be,with a nylon slip...'on the hill',or 'in the field' or... :-) gbal NB Bench Rest /load developing don't track at all-absolute stability is desired- which might just help explain the different preferences.....as Toby notes in his subsequent post......

Toby Posted November 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 The bag pictured in the 3rd pic is the small bench bag. I use this in combination with a rabbit ear rear bag. For foxing I use the medium size which balances my rifle perfectly without the need for additional rests. I tried the large model but it was just too cumbersome and wasn't able to track easy enough when keeping a fox in the crosshairs. So, in hindsight I should of bought another medium instead of going the large,small route :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuck Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Looks very nice, like the look of that stock very much so. And looks like it's delivering some really tight groups, well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swarovski1 Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Does the 6mm br chamber the rounds better with the floor plate than a detachable mag or do they usually both feed fine.is there usually an easy fix the get them chambering sweet if it doesn't.
