What suppressor is that @HNTMAD? Does it still feel nicely balanced? I like the idea of having the full length barrel.

It rubs on your gear if its on the inside(drop chart). Like on your pack belt, knife and stuff.

These are my two main rifles, first is Sako 85 finnlight in 270wsm, VX6 3-18x44 b&c illuminated, DPT magnum overbarrel, nice simple rig that works well, accurate, easy to carry, packs a punch out to silly distances.


And second is my latest project Rem 700 action, 26" shillen select match heavy contour fluted chambered in 6.5-284, Ken Henderson carbon fibre stock, Leupold VX3 LR 4.5-14x50, I'm going to have a terminator brake put on it and call it done.

300 winmag. Use it at all ranges

It is a 24 inch barrel with an ASE UTRA can, yeah it's not barley balanced.... Well I don't mind, if I bush hunt with this gun I take the cannot and putbin pocket or Daybag

Right handed rifle, always on the right hand facing away from you gun in right hand etc
Why that? More sense to me in the left side so you can see it?

Nice rifle btw

A right side upside down chart is easier to read when going from carry to set up, and when the rifles on the ground with the bolt topmost the chart is the right way up. At least it is for me.

For hunters long range might be 500-600 metres.
For target shooters long range generally means 800-1000 yards
For others 1000-1500 yards, for extremists 1 mile plus.

I'm a target shooter, my best two long range rifles are the Barnard Twins.

Built around a Barnard P Action 308, 32" True-Flite 1:10 barrel, custom stock, 17 MOA rail, Nightforce Scope.
One rifle is a year older than the other. Can you tell which is newer?

How often do you get a malfunction on a rifle worth that much man I'd be super pissed if I had a rifle like that and it couldn't get me through a comp

I pay $200 per tyre for my 4wd and put a fifth one as spare. I'd be pissed off if one failed when I need it but I would even be more pissed off if after that fail I did not have a spare so I think I can see where he is coming from....

Possibly another up side is when at the range "practising" one rifle can be cooling down as the other heats up....

nice rafters
