Charlts

Love them! Use them in 204, 223, 243, 308 and 300AAC to great effect.

I know that MDT are working on it, so it's just a case of being patient. The factory stock is really well designed though which helps. I'd like to get a Laminate one, bed it, fill it with lead, attach an ARCA Rail and have an adjustable cheek piece to be honest.

I love a tricked up 22lr for practicing with! My Lithgow LA101 - Stock filled with lead shot and resin to increase weight, full length ARCA rail on fore end. 30 MOA Brittania rail, Sig Tango4 6-24, Dev-L Mil scope. MDT Cyke Pod. It's a super accurate rifle and with the canted rail dialling out to 300+ yards is a doddle, just waiting on MDT to make up a chassis for it and it'll be golden!

A universal ARCA rail from MDT would be my choice that way you could utilise some of the existing threaded holes in the Bolthorn chassis.

Colin I’ll have a couple of Cyke pods and Atlas bipods with me on Saturday, you’re always welcome to get behind whatever I’ve got with me.

I’ve been using mine since May, they’ve been superb at everything be it stalking, varminting, glassing or shooting PRL. As binos they’re up there and as a range finder I’ve not found anything to touch them, plus the added benefit of ballistics capabilities is very useful.

It’s a stunner Dave, having shot it there’s zero recoil and it’s more accurate than it looks! Great job mucker.

Put an ARCA rail on the underside of your stock.

My Atlas attachments I picked up in the US from AREA419, the Cyke Pods already come with an ARCA clamp on and are easily available in the UK.

I have a couple of ARCA'd Atlas bipods and they're good. I bought an MDT Cyke pod a few months back and it's better, so I have another one on it's way to me.

I got my Hoptic bits sent to a buddy in the US and collected at the SHOT Show. Seems to be the only way to go.

RS52 works great under 77gr TMK's

Looks very interesting, look forward to seeing its performance down range on steels and Deer. Good job Andy.

I have great results with Accurate Mag 5rd AICS mags on my 223 and 204. Dave Wylde AR Valkyrie does a great 223 conversion on 10rd 308 AICS mags.

I’m having a 223ai built for similar duties along with a bit of informal High volume plinking thrown in for good measure. Quite fancied a 22 Creedmoor after using my buddies in the states which is a complete laser beam, I just wanted something less overbore.

You'll need to shorten your bolt stop to use AICS magazines.

I agree it's great fun seeing how things are moving along, having been on the firing line across the pond it's rare seeing anyone winning and not shooting a sedate 6. Already this year a lot of the PRL top ten are building 6mm's and the trend across Precision Rifle competitions is for smaller 6's, here's a link to a more recent survey - https://precisionrifleblog.com/2018/12/14/rifle-caliber/ This seasons would likely show a greater movement. Flashers will definitely help things in the UK, as will increasing the standard of spotting hits for score - It's always going to be difficult with some of the awful spotting scope setups that have used this year. The NRL and PRS tend to use the flashers just for long range targets. Personally I just want to get out and shoot, there's far too much talking gets done when the weather is bad and not enough folk go shooting. Also curious why you'd move away from the easy to shoot 6.5x47, which you've found very effective. The first two rounds of the PRL before I started stoking my Creedmoor up I was running around 2600fps with 140's which is around what I'd expect from the smaller case, I found it very nice to shoot and it certainly took some scalps up at Gardners at round 2.

I was sure it was a 6mm Creedmoor in March and definitely a 6mm Creedmoor for the Guardian and his training weekend. 115gr RDF’s going around 2950fps from memory. @Ronin are you trying to push a specific agenda to suit or keep things factual?

Really? For precision rifle? How long ago was that?

Plenty of 6 Creedmoor factory options available that will out perform a 243 and more components become available by the month. When 6.5 barrels are being swapped at 2-2200 rounds barrel life isn't really a consideration The bulk of the top Americans aren't wringing the the necks of cartridges for MV, rather leaning towards lower MV and pressure for increased consistency and function in all the conditions encountered. I'm sure they wouldn't do this without an advantage. The Irish guys showed how well the 6mm's can perform in the UK by doing rather well, the general consensus being avoid the issue of spotting splash by hitting first time! Next year is going to be a great one to watch from an equipment perspective, with so many different variations. I can't wait for it!

I’m really keen to see how these bigger cartridges work out in next years PRL. Especially as the trend amongst the best shooters is going smaller - Case capacity and calibre for recoil mitigation. Exciting times indeed.

140gr Nosler RDF, 2760fps from Lapua SRP and Nosler LRP brass. 142gr SMK, 2760fps, also from Lapua and Nosler brass. Figures from 3 different factory 24" barrels.

Mines in the country after a week according to the tracking.

What sort of delivery time have people experienced with these?

They'll drop right into the Bifrost, with the Oryx you'd run AICS pattern mags.
