gazzarM1 Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 With the popularity of longe range and extreme long range shooting now gaining a good following I am curious to see what rigs are doing the business....personally my mile kit consists of a Barrett 338 98b topped with a Khales 624i with a MSR ret. I have just got hold of a Sabatti Evo tactical in 300wm to try my hand with. This is topped with a Steiner MX7i with the MSR2 ret. Between the two it should keep me busy in the winter months reloading. What you got gents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popsbengo Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 Trueflite 32" 1:9.5SG "special geometry" which I'm told is similar to 5R, Dolphin brake (very good), Barnard PL action, Barnard trigger, Dolphin aluminium folding stock with bag rider. S&B 5-25 x56 PM11 ffp with P4 mils reticle all in a Spuhr mount - total tilt, with rail, of 11 mils. (Picture is with a Vortex that's long gone in favour of the S&B) I use a Tier One bipod with ski feet on a rubber mat and a leather bag filled with chromate sand. Overall the recoil is quite reasonable - I use a shoulder pad and I can send 100 down in a day (£££££!) and still function (all be it with an "Eskdalemuir Headache") All in all a very satisfactory set up. The mile is no problem with my Hornady ELD-M load, however I need to develop a load for 2000 plus - possibly solids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch-22 Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 Mine is a .338 Norma Magnum built on a Defiance Mutant XL repeater tube gun action that I had DLC’d by Orlikon here, sat in an Eliseo RTM tube gibe chassis. I can switch lowers from long action to short in a minute. Custom 27” Bartlein, 1-9.3” twist thats 1.35” at the breech, straight for 5” then gently tapers to around 1.2” at the muzzle. Area 419 Sidewinder brake tames the recoil, it feels like a .308w. Last time out I shot just over 100 rounds and simply could have kept going all day long. Fortmeier/Phoenix bipod, Huber concepts 2-stage ballbearing trigger, S&B PMII 5-25x56 ffp, MIL/MIL with H2CMR reticle (love the reticle as I have fine .2MIL windage marks). Mount is an Era-Tac QD one-piece mount and it’s been totally repeatable taking it on and off tens of times. Great bit of kit is the Era-Tac. Combined tilt of chassis and Era-Tac mount is 40MOA, or roughly 12MILs. I shoot 300gn Lapua Scenars with HbN coating over 94.4gn of RS80 powder. Does around 2790fps.
