My current build for F class is starting to take shape. Picked up the Barreled action from the Gunsmith last nite. Wanted to try something different so I went nutless w/ the following specs:
- New SSS Timed Trued Target action, SSS bolthandle, EVO trigger, PTG Oversized fluted bolt, SSS recoil lug (action feels incredible, no slop/ play due the oversized bolt, buttry smooth due to the T&T and the trigger feels like a Jewell.
- Kreiger 6mm blank- Gain twist 8.7-8.3" twist 28" finished length .112 freebore. What Mike has found is that you can run hotter loads and not see the pressure that you would by using a straight 8" twist thus increasing velocity to a point. The idea is that the long skinny high bc bullet gets a gradual start into the fast twist rifling, eliminates any potential for bullet core seperation and the resulting inaccuracy associated w/ that. He uses a straight (vs. 11 deg.) crown. His records speak for themself.
- Chambered and headspaced by world record holder and builder of record holding 6brx's- Mike Davis in NC (builds Sam Hall's rifles, etc.)
- All polished to a mirror finish.
- I received the SSS LRBR stock- Rosewood, brown black w/ adj cheekpiece and need to bed and finish it. Should be sweet when done.
Honestly, I could have almost built a custom (Barnard, Bat, Stiller, etc.) for what I am going to have into this. I did save money on the stock for sure. But, Its going to be fun beating those guys w/ a Savage! Thats just me though.
