    Who owns a hells canyon?

    I have put together a 300prc hells canyon with the heavier barrel.
    Put Talley rings and bubble level with nx8 with a stealth can on it.
    I'm shooting factory 212 precision hunter to get brass for reloading to then load with 230 atips.
    Is there anybody that has a hells canyon in that caliber reloading or got a verdict on accuracy and a lighter trigger spring?
    Cheers Andy

    Owned one in 7mmRM it was super accurate. I put a $380 Timney trigger in mine, much nicer!

    They are buggers of things to get the scope level with the action, and the triggers don't go to 3lb like they say.
    Other than that I like the build quality and the look of the rifle.

    Andy , to get a good flat reference, remove the action from the stock and use the flat part under the action. Or the flats on the side with a square set along them.

    The newest x bolt that will come in the country will have a flat reference milled just behind the rear bridge.
    And the threads will be more common stuff than the shitty threads currently offered on the thinner barrel models.

    No way I wanted a nightforce to be mistaken for a vortex and have my integrity questioned!

    I tell ya what, it makes you appreciate scoping up a tikka!
    I will put a photo up of the model on the box, you might be able to decipher it for me.
    There is a small flat section at the back of the bolt that I used as a reference point.
    All good to go.
    Wasn't that happy with the first few shots but deep cleaned it and quite a bit of carbon and copper come out.
    I will be interested to know if they have an accuracy guarantee.
    I will be spewing if I need to use one!
