terryh Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Just putting rifle back together after Hydrographic dipping Rifle is a KMW LongSword built by Terry Cross (ref. https://www.kmwlrs.com/longsword ) Base Cartridge is the 300NM, Defiant Deviant action (KMW variant), 1:9 Heavy Palmer Krieger barrel. Trigger is Timney Calvin Elite, APA 'fat B'stard' brake - which is very efficient but clear benches either side 😉 To enable the rife to go a bit further I went with the Ivey adjustable base which gives an additional 60 mils on top of the scopes available 20 mil (when adjusted with the base) so 80 mil of elevation should do it! Scope is a March 5-40 x 56 .05mil click variant Went with the Atlas heavy bi-pod but the fwd NV mount on the stock could be used with a pendulum type bi-pod The stock is the KMW Sentinel with a 'reaper cam' dip. Load development is looking good, using the Berger 230g OTM hybrids over RS80 (aka RE33) obtaining 2930 - 2970 fps with no issues on pressure seen. Just need to confirm a couple of loads before going to distance - hopefully at Tiffs place if work allows. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-Pete Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 A work of art................but can it be used in any competitions, or is it really just a plinker? Re-Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted February 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Re-Pete, As per title, no real competitions as such, few folks just wanting to push things a bit. Think of it like owning a Ferrari or nice watch etc. f'all use or advantage in real life I've 'done' competitions to a reasonable level in the past, now shoot for personnel challenge, in a position to be able to just enjoy shooting - not saying I do not compete at club level though, that is essential.

terryh Posted February 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Lapua, The scope does end up a bit taller than normal at 3” but is a function of the adjustable base - which is a nice piece of eng/kit. Sentinels, well yes a bit smitten with them: 22rf, 6.5x47 and the 300NM pre paint job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re-Pete Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Is the stock laminate or GRP? The grip looks like it'll be really comfortable. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruger7717 Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Nice looking build Terry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted February 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Re-Pete They are ‘standard’ construction a GRP or in the 6.5 a CF skin with varying density foam innards. McM make them for KMW under license. the stock is very comfortable, most folks who handle them go ‘oh, that’s nice’ Dave Not a Vudo, Annie MPR so I had to have a barrel block made, action is floating. Very accurate and consistent with R50 which it seems to like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reloader54 Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 I don't do "plinky plonkin' wetf that might be, I don't do any competition "willy waving" either,,, but certain things please my eye, those three rifles right there for instance, and of course the original example too.

Re-Pete Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 "Plinky Plonkin" : Shooting a rifle just for the sheer hell of it, no pressure, no competition, no worries, (unless you happen to have a muzzle brake on a 16" barrelled 308, in which case you need 5 metres clear either side, or a degree in martial arts) "Plinky Plonker": A person suffering from an insatiable need to carry out the above activitity.(frequently shortened to Plonker, with expletives) Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it all the time I see someone else’s AR for example , but hey ho that’s just how it is in blighty It’s a nice rifle Terry, but I’m really not sure about the skulls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted February 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Pete, no one else was volunteering Mark, re skulls, done the camo bit and really do not need a camo’ed rifle ( actually who does?) Flat colour’s a bit boring so thought they'd make a bit of a change. Looks like snow camo from a distance. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSG Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 I have looked at the skulls for a dipping option before but I keep having flashbacks to the catacombs under Paris with a quite armpitty woman of German origin. Some people get turned on by all of that sort of stuff. Afraid to say that I do a bit of plinkyplonking most days, but am firmly a DPM when it comes to cammo.
