It can happen it the best of rifles, a piece of crud lodges somewhere it doesn't belong. Swap rifles and sort it later.
The Nationals are 8 days of shooting, upto 4 rounds a day. Plenty of opportunity for the unexpected.

My custom Rig, put together with some stuff I had laying around from previous builds. Of course long range means different things to different shooters.
To me this signifies LONG RANGE, using both state of the art components and a design flair that even if I say so myself....... cutting fuckin edge.
Don't let the hollowed out sex toy under the skeleton mono frame fool you...ahhh no my friends, that is extra volume for the crazy 6psi this bad boy can generate. Plus if the huntings slow you just hit the quick disconnect hose , slap a couple of AA batteries back in and in three minutes you won't give a flying fuck about the deer.
Yep it's pretty sweet, feast your eye's bitch's.....and before the inquiry's and orders fly in "NO" I won't be making any more.:thumbsup:

I don't really know, I typed funny air rifle into the search engine and that popped up.
I went to that steam punk expo in Alexander Shearer, was really cool.
I am now collecting junk to have a go at making one myself.

I don't like Ruger's much but that looks very cool mate, if it shoots as good as it looks it must be a tack driver.

I built this rifle up for myself about 5 years ago after my L42 style No4 .308 struggled after 800 metres (probably my fault). It is in .30/06 and throws a 167 grain Lapua scenar at 2950 fps for 0.5 MOA groups. I found an old M17 action which I modified to Rem 700 dimensions, altered the bolt handle and removed the magazine belly. I fitted and chambered a 10" twist John Thompson (Azumith barrels, Christchurch) hand-lapped CM #5 blank which I finished at 26" and threaded for the over-barrel suppressor of my own design and manufacture. The trigger is a tweaked Timney Sportsman, a laminated Boyds semi-finished blank which I pillar bedded, 20 MOA Brownells Rem 700 LA base, and a Sightron SIII 6-24 mildot scope. I bead-blasted and blued it. The 26" barrel allows the use of slow powder (ADI 2214SC) to give good velocity at low pressure. I started out using IMR 4350 but got a few pressure problems with it at the upper end velocities. Now that summer is here again I will have to drag it out a bit more!

Nice looking rifle, good to see a M17 build, not too many of those around. Any reason you kept the barrel reinforce that long?

Yes, the M17 is a good solid action. Remington made them commercially as the Model 30 until they introduced the much cheaper 700 action. I left the reinforce that long to keep the weight up a bit to prevent exessesive overheating in 5 shot strings, and also to provide a good bedding surface (it is bedded to the front of the reinforce) that will reduce the nodal length of the barrel vibrations. Whether that theory has particular validity is a moot point but the group sizes certainly remain tight as the barrel heats up.

picked up a 300 Blaser Mag barrel from @von tempsky fan and sighted it in today. set up two drench containers at 600y, first shot thought was a clean hit but found went slightly under and fragments tore into the drum. adjusted up slightly and hit second (through the thumb tack) and third shots which i was happy with. chrony read it was throwing the 208 amax at 3130fps average - fair moving...
