Gandy Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Stunning rifle; would be my choice of components too. What’s the balance like and how long was the barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapua Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Andy, why the left port? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Very nice Andy, well done. we were lucky with the barrel channel.... Yes I must start on a mould for the E-Lite Rem 700 converting stocks is a pain. edi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted September 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Left port because customer specified action that way Background of images - yes I could have chosen a better shade ,,,,,,I prefer the faux wolf fur I have Balance point is towards the front of the magazine - nigh on perfect Barrel is 22” (I recall) The stock is perfect for a lightweight build for a carry all day stalking rifle It would be a perfect base for Tikka T3 or Rem 700 or clone action for people who wanted lightweight, durable and portable rifle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandy Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 What profile is the barrel vs what weight. I.e. is it a varmint profile for a sporter weight ? ps I love the mr blobby background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikka 260 Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 V nice , great stalking rifle. Interesting that there might be pse stocks for Rem 700 clones in the offing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treedave Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Edi - thanks to you and Peter for sorting this, especially with my PITA time frame. Got to say it handles better than it looks. I’ve managed some initial load development today, which looks good. Longer range data testing to follow. The mod was not as quiet as expected. But after a few rounds it got quiet enough and apart from the mirage, you don’t notice it’s on. pics of 130 gr Berger vld group and a 143 eld x group.

ejg223 Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Was a pleasure, I see Andy did his part very well. She is shooting great. enjoy, it is a lovely setup. edi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srvet Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Dave we got a larger version of the F&D moderator for Bens 6.5 x47 that is very effective and light too. Assuming thread compatibility (18x1) you are welcome to try that one to see if it better suits your needs. It was remarked on yesterday at Grayrigg as being noticeably quiet cheers S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treedave Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Srvet, I would love to mix n match but my barrel is too fat for most mods, hence having to go for an end can.Thanks for the offer though. If noise turns into an issue I’d probably trial the ase utra sl7i or hausken sk156. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted September 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Think the barrel is just under an inch diameter at the muzzle - not many over barrel (reflex) moderators will accommodate this and there was an added issue that Dave wanted Ti or similar light weight material which isn’t freely available either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 I think I have the 20" version of that barrel. She has 24mm at the muzzle if I remember right. We had talked about this before... there is a Hausken JD224 with extra big hole in the back. I am using one on my rifle. edi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted September 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 We have Edi the Hausken in question isn’t available in mainland uk for unknown reasons and the Irish importer is unable to export across the sea (checked by customer ) Frustrating for end user Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 I understand the Irish importer. So difficult getting anything into Ireland... never mind trying to get it out again. Maybe you should put pressure on your importer or go direct to Hausken… saying the importer is.... an importer that doesn't import is....? edi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norfresh Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Beautiful set up, Edi has a very similar build in the works for me using a Kelbly Atlas tactical action. Looking at these photos I hope the barrel channel is big enough!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Norfresh, E-Tac4 or E-Lite? edi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norfresh Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 I have the E-lite ordered but you said you would have to check if the proof research barrel would fit the channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
