Thread: Gun Porn, show off your new toys

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.

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.

Dunno man, came with the action, ptg bolt soaybe one that they offer? It's alu

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.

Bugger the sentiment, paint it Ryan....please

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

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.

682 GOLD E in skeet form.
Fixed chokes (sk:sk), 28" barrels.

Ruger Hawkeye M77 stainless, left hand, in .375 Ruger. Rebarreled with Shilen 1:12, 22 inch ( maybe 23 inch ), fluted, stainless barrel, restocked with Pendleton stock with Decelerator recoil pad from Oregun Gunsmithing. Original trigger tweaked for clean 3 lb break, entire barrel and action bead blasted matte.
Started the build last year and only received it this week. Hope it shoots as well as its looks suggest !
