n8ess Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I think I have finally found my ideal rifle, definitely a keeper? I only scoped it in last week so I haven't been able to get out with it yet, the scope isn't my ideal choice but it will have to do for now until I can recoup some funds. Built by Mike Norris of Brock and Norris Firarms. Remington 700 action with 6mmBR magazine, Border Barrel stainless fluted 5.5 varmint contour with 1:9 twist, muzzel threaded 5/8 unf with invisible end cap Rifle Basiz extend varmint trigger Macmillan A5 Tactical stock with spacer system + presentation pad, forend rail system - bedded with aluminium devcon putty and Vee block pillars Warne Tactical mounts and two piece bases Included in package, Full load development and ballistic prints, loading dies, B&N custom muzzle brake, Ase utra S5 moderator, Leupold VX111 4.5-14x50 illuminated scope. It came with 125 custom loads of 80g fowlers which I must say are grouping beyond my expectations. ;) Cheers Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sako Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Nice looking rifle. You won't go far wrong with the BR but I would ditch the Fowler's if you are using them for varminting . I found they pierce rabbits and crows and I had the odd ricochet. Good hunting John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6mmBR Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Thats a good looking rifle. Try some vit N135 and 87gn Vmax that will sort Charlie out. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ess Posted December 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 I will give that combination a go. By the way what is the difference between Vit 135 and 140? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 N135 is slightly faster burning than N140. The load I use is 30gn N135 87Vmax 10 thou off the lands. This gives a velocity around 2900fps. This load seems to work in a variety of guns, my RPA/Walther, Andy's Tikka/Pacnor and my mates Blaser R93.

Finman Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Well done on the 6mmBR, I have also been the recipient of one of Mr. Norris' magic 6mmBRs!! In mine, the combination of 31.8gn Varget with a 87gn Hornady (and it doesn't matter which! VMax, BTHP, SP all go to the same point!) gives around 3000fps (deer legal ) and never grouped more than .3 inch... Hours of endless fun!! enjoy it!! Finman PS: merry christmas every one!

gareth Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Thats a lovely looking rifle, hoping my new Rem (.204) will look something like yours in time. Just out of interest, if you were thinking of changing the scope sometime soon I might be interested. ATB Gareth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveB Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Nice looking rifle. I am having a 6mm br built and it should be ready next week. One thing that really amazed me was the weight some stocks can be. I ordered a bell and carlson tactical stock with adjustable butt and cheek piece but luckily for me I had the gunsmith weigh it before he started any work on it. I am so glad I did it was 6 lbs and by the time I added the light varmint barrell and action and mod and scope it was up 13lbs. In the end I swopped it with the supplying dealer for the non adjustable tactical stock this weighs approx pne third of the first one. Thanks to Fox Firearms for being so helpful about this.
