Offroad Gary Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Well spec'd paddy. Would a non-folder be even lighter? A stiller running the double stack mag is an awesome tool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustyman Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 The question must be . Who's in line to buy it after BD buys it then offers it for sale three weeks later ? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danpd Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Well spec'd paddy. Would a non-folder be even lighter? A stiller running the double stack mag is an awesome tool You could drop about a pound if you lose the adjustable cheek piece option Gary. A pound and a half if you go with the standard EH1.

Christian Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Sweet! Looking great Paddy. The components are obviously first class and I'm really warming to those stock patterns. Any particular reason for the choice of caliber in this short barrel or was that a customer request? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Christian, With the right powder, you should still get 2900fps with a 123 Scenar, and 3100fps and change with a 100gr Nosler BT. So it won't be a slouch whether your punching paper, banging gongs, or dropping Hinds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Im running 20 inches on my Ax folder and I'm making 3000 with 123's with no brass deformation or flat primers and using hunting solids (105grains) its doing 3160,,,,, 2 inches less aint going to make any difference but may make it noticeable with some flash at the muzzle...

Christian Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Thanks for the input both. That's very impressive. Them damn gun mermaids are singing again, ouuuh you need a 6.5x47 ouuuuh, you know you do... And with that folding stock it's a lovely little package.

TWG1 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 The question must be . Who's in line to buy it after BD buys it then offers it for sale three weeks later ? ;-) It's not going anywhere , this one i am keeping ! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWG1 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Bit of background on this one, i have been hankering for some time for a short barrel folder but wanted it as light as possible within certain parameters but not been in the position to build one and i had not come across a stock which fitted the bill I had a spectre acton in stock with trigger and a few other bits and by complete accident while i was searching for some parts for one if my customers I came across the stock, and could not resist the temptation ! So while the stock was on its way over, Patrick popped the barrel on to the action for me, the stock turned up Saturday and i drove straight from the airport after picking it up and we bolted it together . May be a record for a custom build from idea to completion in just over a week and a half !!!! Not shot it yet as i need to sort a scope and mod out and still undecided on what colour to paint the barrel and action if at all, the other thing is now i am thinking about how i can achieve a sub 10 lb rifle with scope, I have a plan but it may take a little time and work ! Big thank you to Patrick for sorting the machining out for me. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Keith, nice bit of kit ! If you could fit a Bradders Spangly Doofer on the muzzle,and confirm it then points like an AR15,another mission would be accomplished too. :-) gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gun nut Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Hi Keith, first stop for that sub 10lb rifle is a PSE Ultralite from Eddie, the scope is a Swarovski Z5, mod is a Hardy Gen 5 and the barrel and action I'm sure you can sort! Been there with a Stiller Predator and 24" heavy sporter profile Lothar walther and it still only weighed 9.5lbs loaded Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 What's the overall length? What's the anticipated cost of a none folder? Fancy one of these in 7mm08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gundoc Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Following this one with interest. Just had my 6.5 brl arrive, now trying to decide on brl length.. Didn't think that that short barrels were that popular for 6.5x47. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there with a Stiller Predator and 24" heavy sporter profile Lothar walther and it still only weighed 9.5lbs loaded Mike I needed to to be folding and adjustable , i can reduce weight on the stock but that means a fixed stock .

TWG1 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Sweet! Any particular reason for the choice of caliber in this short barrel or was that a customer request? Its my demo for the actions i just twisted paddy arm to show off his skills sticking the barrel on ! I went 6.5 x 47 for no other reason that i think it is a good option for a short barrel based on a mate running one much shorter ! i had thought of gong 16'' but chickened out !!!
