Great thread, this. Where's me hacksaw.....
@Pixie Z I like it, it shoots accurately good mag length good trigger which is easy to lighten,stock is like most plastic ones that is bit flimsy on fore end
They are good guns man. Especially for the dollars. Cheapest way to get into a full power sub six lb package

I used to have s 308 mossberg as well but sold it as i use the 243 now. At 10-20 yards these 85gr varminters still go clean through a red hind, adnd they generally drop in the spot with my preferred high shoulder shots.

Looks handy mate:thumbsup:
Looks good, I take it that the cheek riser is home made? Have you got a recipe for how you did it?
7mm saum - lost around 200fps with the chop from 22"Quote:

What are the specs on this? Not normally into chassis but that looks pretty sweet. Is it very heavy?

The recoil isn't terribly painful tho due to the awesome rubber butt pad and "WiFi" dampeners lol
I'm yet to test this on flesh yet, I'm hearing good reports about the 325gr Hornady leverolution ammo which I'm using for this rifle.

John Leth is his name.
I had an older model short barrelled Encore (pre WiFi), chambered in .450 Marlin. It was nasty.. along with those same 325gr flexitips I loaded 500gr copper GS hollow points for it. it putt big holes in everything..

@Sasquatch are you going to suppress it? Does the foresight just unscrew? That thing would look awesome with a DPT overbarrel and probably reduce the kick a fair bit I bet too!Quote:

It will be a little less than a factory Montana just due to the short barrelQuote:

The Dpt on it has 12 baffles for subsonics but I also have a titanium oceainia defence that's 170ish grams if I want to go superlight
I dont have any way to weigh it
@308mate will probably keep it in it's original config. Williams front sight and rear aperture are very fun to shoot with.
Your not wrong tho, would look pretty rad with a can on it.

A couple new rifles for me. Traded my 6.5x55 t3 for a 308 t3 from @Gapped axe ( cheers for that) straight to the chop shop for a 16'' hair cut. Much more usable length rifle for me. Running the 1-6 vortex for now as that's what I have. Magnification is perfect for me would like to go lighter one day.
Top rifle is Kimber Montana in 223. Also 16'' chop with magnum suppressor. My new favorite.
