Thread: Tube Rifles

Does anyone out there use/have one ??

Are they any different to shoot compared to a standard rifle ?

Easy or hard to clean ?

. . . or any other info worth passing on. .

Any or all replies appreciated

Cheers, Red.

i have one that i made for rem700 L/A, was heavy but comfee to shoot apart from a cold day

I'd like to see that Abe, got any pics ??

I will be getting one in a week or two then it needs a putting together, XLR Chassis, hopefully the reamer will be here.
Will be able to let you know then.
My Barrett 98B is sort of a tube gun & I like it a lot, shame the factory barrel & chamber is crap
It will be rebarreled & chambered in 338 Norma.

Is that a kit then Greg ?

If so what breed ?

This is the XLR Red I'm even getting tempted to get one myself

Then put the barreled action put into it, must be easy to do.

Awesome looking bits of kit !!

Can't wait to see pics of finished article. .

Neither can I...is it here yet...I'm so bloody impatient.................

I like the idea except that an alu chassis + whatever stock + whatever forend + whatever grip = heavier than 500gms of fiberglass.

Have you had a look on Scott Trails website?
He is an incredibly talented fella that earned his qualifications in our military, Scott has an eye for perfection and makes a lot of Rifles, Actions, Triggers etc in house.
He makes some very nice Ultralite rifles and has started development and manufacture of his "Uberlites" using alloy in the Action and Chassis, starting with the 08 case and the option of 10 shot AI mags, then the SAUM WSM cases and is working his way up through the 338's

For those that want more, his 50cal can be bought in a 15 pound walkabout hunting Rifle and in his original Long Range Sniping configuration.

Its definately worth a phone call (Scott 027-5791047) or a wee look on his website.

They used to be safe way out there.......

Did you get it from DED?
Serious shooters has some new chassis form Canada I think

Is that the MDT (I think) one? They seem popular in Australia.

G'Day fella's,

I recently got in an MDT TAC-21, tube rifle type setup for a customer.
From what he (and others) tells me, they are the best?

They do look to be very well designed and made!
These types of rifle stock modifications, seem to be our response to our need to have Black Guns!

You Kiwi's, don't suffer these kinds of withdrawals as you actually have had a series of Reasonable smart politicians!
The same can't be said for the bunch of wankers (of all creeds and colors), that have been attempting to run (into the ground?) Australia!
It's about this time that I state my usual comment about the slimy Political Animal (FJWH), that confiscated a heap of our interesting firearms!!!

Hope that helps

Doh!

Yep, you guys got sucker punched big time.
