I haven’t fired it in this config yet, but when I can get to the range I’ll post a pic.
Not sure if the total weight, but the stock comes in at around 540g. Feels very nice in the hand, and comes up tot he eye beautifully :)

Hotsoup,, hey nice build and great choice of components. Any rough idea on long the wait times are for a McMillan stock build/order..???
Definitly fortunate to have Alpine Precision bringing in and giving folk some component choices, for a custom build....
Cheers man! Yep that's standard factory finish on the McMillan.Quote:

I couldn't say @matagouri- it wasn't a particularly long wait as it wasn't supplied direct from McMillan, another supplier had this as inventory from my understanding. I hear costs of stocks is going up too
Nice one mate iv got the pro Ti with cam for the next one good to here some feedback im just waiting for the stock to be made , be interesting to see what it weighs in the end on paper it should be 3.5 with a NX8 or around 3250-3300 with a VX6 or Z6 . That looks brilliant you have chosen well I’d happily own that theirs nothing I’d change in fact the black is very smart and no further comment needed about that stockQuote:

As far as I was able to find out is, if not very nearly the only one, then very actually the only one in NZ.
20" barrel with Leupold Vxi 3-9 LR Duplex.
Hand-loaders' delight.

I have in previous life shot an obscene amount of rats with one of those...when I say shot,I COULD have well said exploded. flat tipped pellets hit hardest,rounded next and the pointy ones just whistled through,still killed but not the same splat factor.... also used the side lever shown,very accurate just not quite as powerful.... oh the fun we had when younger.Quote:

@hotsoup I really like the look of that rifle. It really would be the ultimate lightweight alpine rifle. Have you had the chance to weigh it without the bipod on it? I’d be interested to know how many grams it weighed.
Cheers @craigcQuote:

It is 3.7kg as pictured minus the Harris. I wouldn't want it lighter then that, especially punching out 215 hybrids. It's very nice to shoot considering. It is now fitted with a picatinny rail and using the mtn carbon bipod
First thoughts on the bipod?

Purely aesthetics but aesthetics are important to me when iv got everything else just how I wanted it. Good luck very jealous
The new 7mm saum is great, smithed by our very own jaco goosen. 1-8 twist, 24inch barrel. Feeds great with the Hawkins 300prc bottom metal and magbox. Broke the barrel in on Tuesday, and started load developing. Got 3000 fps with berger 168g vld hunters with rl26. 12fps es between them. Will run that for now until the barrels had around 200 rounds. Then I'll re touch it :)Attachment 200453Attachment 200454Attachment 200455

To turn this into a night rifle i clamp on a InFiray CH50 V2 thermal clip on.Using a Ruson adaptor it neatly just slides on the scope.Both scope and clip on have the same FOV.No zeroing of V2,just clamp on and shoot.The V2 has a built in extra length of eye peice,so its designed for scopes up to 9X,so less pixelating than standard clip ons.
Day rifle.

Nice. I look forward to forward-attaching thermal/night vision units dropping in price. Seems a better solution than attaching to scope eyepiece for multiple reasons.Quote:
