"inexpensive?" 2000 yd group and score based on a 111 action

[mikeinco]

this is a "inexpensive" 2000 yard group and score rifle
"hunter" class under 18 lbs
boyds varmint stock laminate
stock 111 la recvr plus a thicker recoil lug
timney trigger
krieger mtu 28" bbl 8" straight at 1.250, then taper to .965,
will be match 300 win mag, neck turned, muzzle 3/4-24 for 9" suppressor( already own, so no cost)
egw 0 moa hd base, ivey 150 moa adjustable rings( got them 1/2 off) and 12-42x nf scope..(blew the budget there)
object is to shoot 220 solids at over 2800
shot off a hunting bipod and rear bag
if there is room i will add lead to the butt.

i have the reamer, and a throater, and a lathe

this is called "inexpensive" because the other rifle i am building
is the next class up. it has a 40 lb limit, i will be under 20.
but i am probably over $7000 in parts in that rifle.

Pictures or it didn't happen.

Sounds like a great plan. There is a 2K yard shoot off in MT., I think your build fits right in. I was day dreaming of a similar build in 300 PRC. Good luck, keep us in the loop.

there is either a time or post count lock on being able to post pics...so no pics, not posts..lol

[DesertDug]

I need for pics

[Dave Hoback]

Pics are very easy. I load everything from Imgur.


Not for nothing, but there does come a point where ya need to show off your wares. “Talking” is fine & well for specifics, but people on forums are “visual”. We want to see. And with the many free third party host sites(like Imgur I mention), there really is no excuse.

Ill say you certainly made quite a step in progress Mike! From a couple stock Savages in 308, to disassembly of your 111 bolt for the first time, to building this all in the last few years...and another FAR more advanced! Impressive!

[mikeinco]

HERE IS THE PROBLEM
i do not load my pics on servers just to put them on a third spot.
all the sites i belong to i link from MY photos, I do not advertise for a third party.

Using an image host is NO different than belonging to an open forum like this and every other! So, it’s not a problem, and is borderline excuse.

But if you are so dead set against free image hosting sites, I would be happy to PM my email to you. You can send me the pics via email & I’ll host them on my Imgur page & link them here. Would be my pleasure Mike.

Give me one guess as to who runs that group. lol
I do agree with you on posting pictures.
Why cant it be as simple as Emailing directly from the camera?

[Dave Hoback]

It is guys...really.

Heres a new butt stock I’m working on. Posting this took me about 40 seconds! (Loading to Imgur and linking BBcode here.)

except i have to go load to a third party ,,,a step i do not currently do WITH ANY SITE i belong to.
just like sending them to you is an extra step.
it is just silly and a waste of time.
this software supports user uploads WITHOUT a third party.

You are right Mike, however this site is small based on the visitor count compared to the big sites and the rate advertisers pay is low. Jim has chosen to have a small fee for "Team Members" So that he can pay for the extra storage. A basic member does not have the permission to upload photos. If you have them on another site, copy and paste them if you want to. If you want to upload them to a free storage site you can do that. Otherwise it is pay to play here. I find a work around, Dave does a work around. We understand your convictions and are glad to have a man with your experience on the forum. It is what it is.

[Dave Hoback]

I do agree Mike, about online forums and their abilities. I think it’s disgraceful for a forum to charge “members fees”, when they have site sponsors. The only reason they are generating sponsors is because of the traffic through the forum. US! WE are the reason for sponsors. So charging a fee, when it’s the members generating sponsors is well, it’s greed!

And I agree with Rob. Work arounds are good! See a problem...solve it. It’s what I do. And of course I enjoy speaking with others in the know, and your contribution is very much appreciated Mike. Just it gets to a point where people expect to see pics at some point. We all exist here in words...digital code-like the Matrix! Pics make things feel real. Others all the talk could simply be a figment of one’s imagination. Especially when they make every excuse NOT to provide pictures. (I’m not saying it is that Mike..I’m simply making a point of how it can look eventually)

[mikeinco]

if you go to gunboards forums, bigbore, 338 edge, you will see pic of my
other 2000 yd group and score rifle, a work in progress also.

a normal 300 win mag is 3.34
a mil mk248mod1 is 3.5 (220 SMK)
mine is a mere 3.95
i can load, i cannot extract without pulling the bolt!
