    3080fps is very usable velocity !

    Well done guys on trying something new regardless of the flack your receiving... boundaries are meant to be pushed and when people said we want to put a man on the moon there were sceptics saying... what the fuck!

    Good luck in your endeavours and like KJ... I'm looking forward the pictures and results!

    Like this bolt for my Gen2 action but way shorter amd fatter

    M31.5 x 1.75 thread to make biggest tenon I can, barrel solid buts up on internal face and slim not gay looking barrel nut . . . Unlike savages

    Bolt will come out to load one back on the face, on action port since it's short.

    Pics of it and Gen2 ti actions will follow when I'm happy with them after more testing. . .

    Semi finished gen2 bolt by short action rem bolt. Weighs 319grams complete with lugs amd spiral flute still to go.

    Don't send it to the anodizers though Abe. You'll never get it back.

    The Aussie Army using the Blasers in 338LM , was more of a emergency , quick off the self purchase , with no propper Army Trials etc done , I think they where listening TOO much to a certain US SF group .
    Show me some more Armies that use the Blaser in 338LM as a sniper rifle ?

    And they have had some issues with the Blaser in Aussie service recently , I think it was along the lines of a blowup or two .

    Also , talk to some Brits about the Blaser in 338LM , that they trialled , the Blaser did not get far , they deemed it unsafe ( they had a couple , not just one rifle ), as it was firing simply by chambering a round , and firing when the safety was removed etc , if you want more info on the Brit issue go over to ukvarminting they have all the info .

    I maybe WRONG , show me all the Blasers in 338LM in service as sniper rifles , outside the silly Aussies & Yanks , Opps .

    All I see is a lot of AI , Sako in the main , with a bit of PGW & Steyr .
