@7mmsaum Mate, just tried it out and its very very quiet.
Attachment 34393Attachment 34394
Just picked up a new MAE suppressor for my Sako 85 finnlite in 7mm08. Need to get back out to the range to test it out.
Hoping for a good reduction in recoil and noise. The guys at MAE have done a great job and were very helpful.
G'day guysQuote:

So anyway I am getting a sako ss hunter and have a Leica sitting here, therefore I have a few questions on your great setup:
What size ringmounts are they, xtra low or low?
Do the Swarovski flip covers simply fit the Leica? What size etc did you order?
Cheers

Nothing like a creepy friend request to get the party started.
Welcome to the forum.
Just back after load development and mil-spec coating.
Shilen 24" barrel, action trued.
Maisey brake and bedding pillars.
Senator Stock.
0.022" milled off front Optilock to roughly equate to 20MOA
Bedded front and rear, top and bottom into Devcon 10110 Steel Putty (A) by me.

Not a project I'm likely to repeat, reckon it's either full custom or factory, pissing around with this and another left me thinking its a mugs game.
The other is a Sako 75 Varmint .308 in a Senator SLR stock. It'll be sold after painting.
Prolly hang on to this, it's going in a 500D on Monday morning.

Probably on a par, Blaser barrel lighter due length and profile, I'll use a lighter weight after market saddle on the RM barrel, final weight depending on scope....this thing went ok last trip just shooting off a pack, I'm trying to go without a bipod till those carbon jobbies turn up.Quote:

What's up with the canterlever mount at the front?
It's an "extended" Optilock base for use on '75 L actions. I could have perhaps used the forward base from the set for L actions, but with the fwd base pushed fully fwd, the ring may have impinged on the objective housing on the Z5, definitely on a Zeiss Fl Diavari I have.Quote:

Cool, attached to the Vorn?, hopefully I put mine to good use next week.Quote:

PM coming!

@shift14 Who coated the rifle for you? is it a particular colour or just milspec and thats what you get?
Really really like that might have to look into coating my 338 in a similar fashion. Lucky for this forum there's no weird hard on emoticon.
Awkward.Quote:

Mmmm love that M03
Do you have any other barrels?
No I want to swap that one for a 6.5x55. Don at Stager Sport is no longer there but will ask Ruth - a second time - if she can price a fluted one.
Have you ever tried taking it down putting it back together and shooting a target to see if it moves much?
Yes. It doesnt...the QD mount is a slick piece of engineering. But I wouldn't have put more than 15 rounds thru it.
Don's gone? He was the only one worth talking to at Stager.Quote:

Yep...left me hanging with an order (magsafe kit to update the Mauser). He's a good rooster so a loss to them.
Really nice rifles mate.

Awesome looking rig

I can't get that weaver to fit! Need higher mount so it clears the rear sight mount! I've ground all I can of the mount without making it unable to replace the leaf!:yuush:Quote:

Shot these two today: one is a whinchester 70 I put together ( barrel fitting to the action, threaded and fitted suppressor ) but I have not done a bedding yet. Just for a quick test. The other one is a seven into a lss chassis. Will change the suppressor soon but this one came with the rifle;-).
Both were shot with factory ammo: 150 gr federal and 130 gr Belmont . The Belmont shoot pretty well, the last group were 5 shot at 106m this morning.(308 win btw)
