Help design the NZHS Forum Wildcat - Part 3 - Case

[Spanners]

'Cant eat your ghost chips bro.....'

I need to get back in NZ and settled and place some orders for bits.
I've only been in NZ 10 weeks this year - sometimes for no more than 1 or 2 days.

Have a heap of stuff landing when I get back, so once I've moved and settled in, will sort something.

Its on my list of 'shit to do'

Sweet as just wondering

[robhughes-games]

very interested in where this is going. especially if there are options to use reamer and just buy an extra set of dies. or if the stock can be left of since i will just make my own carbon one. Stug also makes carbon stocks.

Have you any pictures of your carbon fibre stocks robhughes ?

if you go with a hower action your excluding all us left hander. If your looking at 10-20 actions, the go a full custom like Stiller Predator so left hand is an option. The other action to consider for those looking for "light" weigfht is the extreame as they do a Rem 700 clone in Titanium...but not yet in left hand!@#$

[Bill999]

the sooner you left handers learn to shoot with your right side the better, there is a reason it is called your right side.
bunch of bloody hipsters "oh shooting right handed is sooo mainstream"

So what is the new case going to be?

408 Cheytac or Viersco Mag shortened to SAUM length

It can then be 6.5mm, 7mm, 30 cal, 338 cal, 375 cal if any of us so desires.

Bruce Bertram can make the brass for us.

[crnkin]

Yep

[Spanners]

I dont get it, other than 'because you can'??

You have to go to a big custom action to run it, and if you were going to do to a big custom, then why not run a full length one and get more performance?

Im confused, i thought this was a 200 meter cartridge?
Big slow pill 338 fed etc, maybe 338 saum?

Who said anything about a 'big' custom action??

Its a custom action given the case size..
Which will be heavier than a say a Rem 700 LA (must be to maintain similar to greater hoop stresses)
It shoots a bullet the same as many other cases which fit in say Rem 700 actions and same or less capacity, thus same/less performance

As I said prior - I dont get it
I understand the 'because you can' and if thats not the reason, you're having to use a custom action for case which is better than what? and you are achieving what?
Seems like square peg in round hole situation, and getting a new gold plated hole instead of a wooden peg to suit

Is this a real build or just talk still? If it is a build could you show pictures along the way
