@craigc will start off with 150nbt and/or 150 eldx as I've been collecting these for a while and more than suitable for my shooting. Have a few samples of 162 gr in various flavours that I'll try at a later date.

Shot my Swedish Mauser M38 1942 in the weekend at 50, 75 and 100m to see where it was shooting (250m sights). pretty flat in that range.

Been through a few iterations for this rifle trying to sort my ideal alpine rifle but nearing completetion now.

Rem 700 SA trued and rebarreled in 6.5 prc. Timney trigger. Hnt26 cf chassis, vx5 3 - 15.

Few more bits to sort like a 3 rd flush mag, a 20moa rail and a new can but ready to get out and start testing.

May get a couple more inches lopped off the barrel depending on velocities, currently at 22 inches so fairly long with the can.

Will get out and shoot it in tomorrow with some factory 6.5 prc ammo and see how we go. Interested to see how the chassis system holds up. Feels pretty natural to shoulder and the cheek weld is perfect.

What the weight of that compared to a std stock

680 grams. The lightest stock I could find with both adjustable cheek weld and lop. I've got a stug stock for the same rifle that's a little bit lighter but the ergos aren't as good and it hops around a bit under recoil

For reference the standard plastic remmy stock is about 1 kg

Just picked up this new toy from Nelson, courtesy of Roktoy.

Nice little .308 Rossi takedown. Just need to sort scope and rings now.

We will need to take that and mine for a walk when you have it shooting straight.

It's nothing flash, a used CMC .270Win and I couldn't be happier. Always a risk to buy used without handling it but the price was right, and it's wood and blued steel so I took the chance. On arrival, barrel not free-floated, has a pressure point on the tip of the forend. Cleaned a bit of copper out of the barrel and off to the range with some cheap PPU 130gn SP and some Norma 150gn SP, just to see what I was working with. Using the no-name 3-9x scope it came fitted with, at 100m it put shots 2-5 into 17mm. Shot 1 was the outlier but still made the 5 shot group 23mm so sub MOA. Those groups are repeatable, and it's minute-of-pig/goat/deer so I won't be fettling the trigger or bedding it or anything - if it aint broke. The Norma were not as tight but still MOA.

Not a head-turner like some but she's mine.

Landed a Tikka 6.5prc superlite, taken back to 22" & run Hardy compact. Currently sadled in strata stock but will sit in original late KH carbon stock. Keen to run 156 eol's @ 2950

Here it is now all dressed up ready for some action. Vx3i 4.5-14 in Optilock rings and a late Ken Henderson stock setting its weight at 3.2kg as seen. Pretty keen to get some lead down it

Bit of old school cool. BSA viscount 7x57 in a retro glass stock, Kahles S2 2-7. I was considering painting or hydrodiping the stock but I kind of like it's "I've been places" vibe.

Thats going to look great on the gun rack in your CRX.

Would you like a shiney Metalica sticker for the stock?

Here is my Lee Speed, its something that guys shoot with who don't wear sneakerboots or sport Mullets.
