Nice, I'll take it for the advertised unit price.

You might need to talk to the client about that, don't hold your breath, this build has taken like forever due mainly to a faulty locally made component.....:XD:Quote:

She's a long hard road to the perfect custom rifle, takes forever.
Man, mean Light LR hunting rig right there. @Norway work with the 300 norma is pretty awesome. Seems a pretty capable round
are they much harder on barrel life vs a 300WM?
If you wear one out in a hunting rifle you will have got more than your moneys worth in meat :thumbsup:Quote:

I lent it to the owner of this one because of the gigantic muck around with the previous carbon barrel, he is putting animals on the deck with it :)
Oh yes Greg's 300 NM works fine, it's going to be bittersweet giving it back. I haven't had personal experience as far as wearing out a 300 NM barrel, although should be plenty for LR hunting and occasional practice. The 300NM is the right length to magazine feed if you are into that. Which is a change from my normal "big" cartridge experiences. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7da29528b9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...26d60fb455.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e1a0d18888.jpgQuote:

You should probably get Greg to swap out your stiller for a defiance before he sends it to you. You're going to struggle to really love your new rifle now that you've used something significantly nicer for a while.
Yes you are right, probably not a cost effective option though!:-) Also from memory (not 100% sure) the Defiance is slightly heavier than the Stiller. We were after a reasonably light rifle. Although the defiance ultra light sounds like it could be the answer now.Quote:

Considering how good the drop from 338/ 300gr to 30/ 230gr has been (appr 10J less recoil) it makes me wonder what another 10J down to 7mm/180gr will or will not do.
My 300 generates right around 30J (minus whatever the silencer takes off, which is a lot) anda lot more managable compared to the 338.
Very nice rifle indeed!Quote:

Even at just over 8 lbs recoil isn't a problem

Shoots pretty good courtesy of its proper carbon fibre barrel, first three shots this morning at 215 yards

Needless to say the customer is extremely happy & now I can get my one back :)
