What caliber (s) will be your 2012 build?

[defoxer]

damn, how big are those pdogs over there?? I assume they are equiv to our foxes? else maybe you should think along the lines of a 450AckMag; if the 300 doesnt cut it...should be sufficiently convincing :D

[moecarama]

30-06 build
26" Shilen Varmit contour or 26" Light Palma w/ 1:10 twist (who can build this barrell ?)
Manners T4 or Stockade PDT gotta check on delivery time
Fluted Bolt- SSS skip pattern or PTG spiral
(SSS Competition trigger, recoil lug, tactical bolt handle, Karsten cheek piece in parts bin) :)

I have been thinking about this since the first posting and what I've decided(maybe) is to really finish up the 4-5 that I did over the last 2 years.
They all shoot sub moa but could be better, so I am going to do more load work and spend more time at the range. When that is done maybe rebarrel my 243, it has less than 100 rounds through it but I prefer a varmint or bull profile over the sporter.

Well, how is everybody's new build for 2012 going? I finished my .260 that I posted on picture thread, working on loads now, going good, will post some target pics soon.

Very nice finished guns on the picture thread for 2012!!

I am wiaitng for the stock and barrel for my first 2012 build, a 6.5 CM Striker. Then I will picking up a scope for my SS DBM, less than 20 rounds through it, $210 model 116 .30-06. After that I think it will be time to start on another LARGE case Stiker. Thinking something that ends in either Edge or Ultra Mag. Of course, that is if I don't get disrtacted by another 1911 or Colt Anaconda.

Well, so far I am batting .500 on mine. My 30BR is together and got to fire a few shots out of her only to find that the new scope that was purchased for it was bad from the factory. Have gotten a different one and am going to mount it and go run some more rounds through her. The first three shots made a .375" group @ 100yds before the scope went nutty.

The 300WSM barrel I had was sold here to make way for new stuff. Still need to get a barrel to build my 6mm International off of, and instead of a Quarter bore or a 35 cal. I have been coincidently gearing up for a couple of 6.5mm calbiers so we will see where that goes.....

Below is a quote of my original response to this thread.



Would like to put together my 30BR, but need to get the dies coming in for that one. Got a 300WSM small shank barrel that needs a home and a muzzle break built for the threaded muzzle, thinking of going lightweight on this one. Want to put together a 6mm International, but I have yet to find a suitable barrel for that one (need a Large Shank Savage factory barrel in 6BR, varmint or bull contours). Need to get around to putting together another quarter bore of some kind and maybe a 35 caliber but those will most likely be the year after.

I am waiting on a new barrel nut to go on an old 110 that has a new .243 26" 1:8 SS Varmint Criterion barrel just sitting waiting to be matched to the action.

[87predator]

Waiting on my 243 AI barrel to get in for long range Coyote, then thinking of starting on i'm 7mm, maybe a 7.21 firebird ;D

[etumil]

I am in the process of aquiring a new to me .243, and we will see about using that as my platform. If that does not pan out, then I will look for something else. I am NOT going to alter my 30.06 any more, because it is my deer rifle, and I am very happy with it.

[Apache]

I'm going to have several....which is normal for me. Only this time I'll be doing all the barrel work myself in stead of just the chambering that I normally do.

I bought a lathe and now learning how to use it. First barrel is a 308 that is coming out pretty good so far. :o

[BobT]

Just about to finish up my .25/06. I have a line on a donor action for a .264 Winchester Magnum build I've been wanting to do for years and I'm strongly considering a WSM of some sort since I've never fired one. Still looking for an action for the .270/08AI project that hit a serious snag a couple of years ago.

I'll probably succumb to the .220 swift and 7mm STW barrels I recently bought!

Trying to figure out with actions to devote to them ....... (I kind of like what they are doing right now!!)

Also, a .30 BR is sitting around with "wilted flowers" and I must not forget it!!


Decisions ..........

[devildogandboy]

i'm doing an 243AI with barrel from GunShack group buy, waiting for it to come in, maybe another 6weeks. that's okay, i have things to do before it gets here. need to get stock, dies and misc small items for it.
having a good time spending money i don't have!!

[243LPR]

Same as Devildog but mine will be 6mm AI.

[Firefighter]

My own post got me thinking, I starting a new one myself. It will be a Savage 6ppc. I have a target action here in the box, so I called Lisa at SSS, and they had a 6ppc bolt in stock for my action. The stock I have is a Joel Russo, Manners MCS T-2 copy in Rutland Brown Laminate., 100% inletted for my action. The barrel, I think will be a Krieger.

Called Dave Kiff today, they have a nice 6ppc , no turn neck reamer, that is becomming very popular.

This one there is no rush, so it will be some time before it is done,,,Just my 2012 plans

[teebirdhyzer]

I'm building a 6.5 creedmoor whitetail rig. Gonna be on a short action with a DBM in a wooden classic styled stock with ebony forend. Gonna have a magnum ER Shaw group buy barrel that I'm gonna get cut and recrowned to 20 or 21". Should be a super sweet, handy deer stand rifle!

[KTP]

6.5 x 284, almost finished and a .308

[storeyteller]

Almost finished with the .243. Next is a new barrel for the AR. I am still pondering what my next savage build will be... probably one of the 6.5's. Gotta do some more research which is half the fun!

[FDmedic]

While considering Savage, long distance, FACTORY rifle, check out "6mmbr.com" look at listing on left of page at gentleman shooting his factory 338 Lapua, 1760 yards (ONE MILE) shots into a 2'x3' plate. Has short video clip. Fantastic.

[Luckus]

6 Dasher barrel (Rock) on 12 FTR. At Accuracy Unlimited now.
