They are pretty neat and handy at that length eh.

I have one at 15" in 708 too. What projectiles you running.

What cal? And you gotta flute the bolt too!

7mm08 @Tikka7mm08 needs the stug off your .260 aswell

Yep they make a huge difference in weight, highly recommend. You can add fluting, lightweight shrouds and firing pins but it is a drop in the ocean compared to a CF stock change.

Where do you get the lightweight pin and shrouds from? I can only find the one at gunworks which is out of stock. I emailed them and they said it's been on back order from PnG for 2 years.

Pretty sure you can get the pins on trademe.

I was running 120 NBT's in my 15 inch, but have stepped up to 140 NBT's now. They carry more energy and actually shot much better in my rifle.

Using CFE223 in the short barrel.

That makes sense. 140gn BT/ABs same load worked well in several Tikkas I loaded for. 120s go sub 0.250MOA in the little Rem. Will never sell it.
