Try Jackson rifles you can order a McMillan stock with any inlets. Or try Joe West he can make stocks with that inlet. 
cheers

Dave

Unfortunately, Joe West only currently make F-class stocks for F-class actions. I'll try Jacksons rifles to see if they can help. Thanks for your advice. 

Cheers

Paul

I'll give him a shout next week Vince, cheers.

Evening everyone.

Can anyone tell me if there is anyone who makes a benchrest stock for a Sako 75 6ppc, or maybe someone who has one for sale secondhand, please?

I've tried searching on the internet, without any joy - I'm obviously not looking in the right places, so any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

How about this from tikka . Loctite 638 sparingly along top of action to bond it in place ,screws to 2.5NM or 22 inch pounds . 

Thanks Richiew.

That seems something like it. Although I was going to go with 15 inch pounds and use Loctite 2 blue for the screws.

I will call the importer tomorrow and find out if they have any ideas, just to be on the safe side.

Cheers. Paul.

Is there a standard torque setting for picattiny rail screws on any rifle, or are they manufacturer specific?

I have a Sabatti rifle, but there isn't any information I can find about this; and the factory is closed for the Summer, as is most of Italy manufacturing.....

I usually make the case holders by machining a block of delrin to the dimensions of the Wilson case holder then reaming the chamber area with a finish reamer 

 

works a treat 

Hi Ronin.

I've managed to get a case holder machined out by Spud, so that the shehane case now fits and all works fine.

Next it's onto the next stage of load development.

That appears to be the case, but having spoken to Spud, he suggested getting it polished out on a lathe, which isn’t much use, as I don’t know anyone that could do that.

Oh well, that looks like the end of the road for that particular method….

Cheers. Paul 

I’ll give him a ring, because I bought it from him. 👍

Is the one that works, like the rest of your case holders, or did you need to modify it, yourself,?

Evening all.

Does anyone here, use a LE Wilson Case Trimmer for their .284 Shehane, Lapua Brass, please?

I'm trying to find out which trimmer case holder you are using for this, as I have been told that a 6.5 x 284 trimmer case is the way forward, but this has proved to be the wrong information, as my brass won't go more than halfway through, so cannot be trimmed.

If someone can point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful, as the Trimmer itself is a marvellous piece of kit.

Here's hoping.......

Paul.

Ok, I understand. But if you do change your mind, just let me know.

Good luck with your sale.

Cheers. Paul 

Would you be willing to sell the optilock bases separately, please?

Cheers. Paul

it is a propper shehane according to importers , now to sort dies

Cheers Mark.

That's more than they told me!!! The next bit is seeming to prove just as difficult, as I'm finding out......

I've heard a few people are not happy with the quality of the Whidden dies that hey have received, in various calibres, so it's turning into a proper challenge.

Hopefully someone can perhaps tell me different.

Thinking about this Paul it would be very strange for a factory rifle to be chambered in the Shehane variant and from your point of view its vital you find out. A factory .284 offers you even less than what we spoke about but is probably the more likely option.

Hi Alan.

I totally agree with you and I've tried to get this information from the Manufacturer and the Importer, but as yet no response, which doesn't fill me with confidence, so I think it might be time to draw a line under it and go on the more "normal route" of a straight .284, now my variation has gone in; or I could just not bother and stick with what I have, until I get more research done.

Newlon Die Blanks and whoever made your rifle use the chamber reamer to machine the seater and a resize reamer to machine the FL die 

 

That’s what I would do and have done for my own Shehane 

Ive also made a small base body die for the same cartridge

 

Uou could also send some direct brass to Warner Tool which they will scan and then machine their own die sets for you 

 

Sit down when you see the cost though 

Hi Ronin,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I forgot to mention that this is a "Factory" rifle - Sabatti and is advertised as a Shehane, so I can't ask whoever made it.

I've tried contact the company direct to find out if it is actually "Shehane", as advertised or actually a straight .284, but had no reply.

Good evening.

I'm hoping that someone out there can tell me where I can find a quality set of .284 Shehane dies, please?

This is for a "Factory rifle" - Sabatti, but I can't get a reply from them, to confirm it is actually a Shehane, as advertised and not a straight .284, but had no reply as yet. Because I haven't picked up the rifle yet, as I'm waiting for a variation, I might end up changing my mind and going another route, depending on what information / advice I receive.

I seem to have exhausted all the avenues I can think of and keep coming up blank.

If anyone can give me an idea as to cost as well, it would be much appreciated. I'm also happy to go with a good condition second hand set.

The main emphasis is on the quality side (as long as my bodily organs can remain intact), but any information or advice is much appreciated.
I await your replies.

Cheers.

That seems cheap to me. It's an improvement on my Mk.1 which was still good enough to get me a win in our Nationals a few days back

Thanks for the feedback, Chris.

I've just priced it to sell, as I want to help someone else get the benefit.

Price reduced.

Can be collected or willing to deliver within a 15 mile radius of Chesterfield.
