dogfox Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Hi Have anybody have any experience with Tube guns. I have a Remington in 6 Br and fancy having a Tube stock for it for hunting/varmint shooting. I like the look of the stocks and fancy one in camouflage. dogfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I've built an Eliseo and a Barnard 07. Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnery Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Hi dogfox like vince i also have a barnard 07 in .260 very accurate rifle no problems at all with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogfox Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Thanks for the replies. Any photos of you rifles and who done the work on them as I think that the action needs to be glued in to the outer case. Is this right as I am not sure about the fitting of the tube. How much does a tube receiver weight.

How much does a tube receiver weight. Thanks dogfox None of the rifles named above require the action to be glued in. There are a couple of USA-made tube guns intended as glue-ins, as a way of 'stiffening' the flimsy Rem. 700 action. It's certainly not necessary with the Barnard 07 but this is not a true 'tube' gun. Laurie Holland's Eliseo built around the Barnard P action isn't glued in and returns very good accuracy - as you have no doubt read in Laurie's many tests in Target Shooter.

dogfox Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Hi Gunnery That a nice looking bit of kit. What does it weigh. Does anybody know does the recoil lug stay on the action when fitting a tube stock. Thanks dogfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody know does the recoil lug stay on the action when fitting a tube stock. Thanks dogfox Not with the Barnard 07 - the recoil-lug is the handguard support. I don't think the recoil-lug is used on the Eliseo when using the barnard P action. However, the TAC 21 does retain the Remington recoil-lug.

Laurie Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Brian Fox (Fox Firearms UK) has managed after a lot of trouble to set up an import pipeline for the CSS (Eliseo) models. You could talk to him about ordering an R5 designed for the 6BR as a magazine rifle, or R1 if you use your 6BR as a single-shot job. They're not cheap though, and they're quite heavy. I've just received an S1 kit (Savage 12 PTA 3-screw single-shot action) for a 2nd F/TR rifle to complement my B1 equipped Barnard. Unlike the B and R series designs, it's not a true tubegun stock, rather a chassis job like the McRees, Dolphin, HPS-TR and Barnard designs with a slotted full tube ahead of the action covering the rear half of the barrel. They're all inline layout designs though with AR type pistol grips which is what I like about them. Shooting Hornady 208s at over 2,600 prone off the grass sees the rifle remain very stable and it tracks back smoothly on the bi-pod ski feet and rear bag.

I want to use my rifle as a hunting rifle so i need to keep the weight down, but I really like the tube stock. I thinking of using the Eliseo Hunters stock in camo :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown dog Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Resurrecting this a little; did anyone end up bringing in Eliseo kits? This looks rather nice; takes an AR buffer tube: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
