Lots of great pics of beautiful rifles. But real gun porn is itty bitty groups. Why don't more of y'all go shoot some groups and enter them in the monthly email matches?

Well, I couldn't help myself, and had to spring for the Razor!! With my eyes getting the way they are, I am really glad that I did. Awesome glass, built like a freakin tank, and of course, it is a Vortex!! This will be the last addition to my competition rifle for about 6 months. I have a new Manners with the Mini-Chassis on order, so I am pretty excited about it!! I really do like the XLR, but in Colorado, the stock is a freakin ice block!!

Looks good RM. Been lovin my Element Chassis as well! Congrats on the Razor too!
Thanks!! I shot my match on Saturday with her, and we pounded out a 3rd place finish. She is definitely a shooter, but I need to learn to read the wind better. Just sayin...
If you will notice the buttstock in the picture above. I kept backing out and retightening the screws for the cheek rest, trying to get it "just right", instead of just making do with it. I had 2 of the short little screws strip out the threads in the tube adapter. I chased the threads and tried again, and yet another failure. I ended up utilizing longer bolts, and washers for friction, and I also added another hole with another screw in the middle area. So now there are 6 screws holding the tube adapter in place, but only permanently now. It still has cheek rest height adjustment, and the LOP is still adjustable from below... but it don't slide on the tube anymore. So is super rock solid now though.
On another note, the Colorado cold makes this thing uncomfortable to me. I hate having to shoot with gloves on, if I can help it at all. Petty... maybe, but I really don't care for it. So, with that being said, I have yet another Manners MCS-T stock on order, with the addition of the Manners Mini-Chassis. So I will be selling this one at a deep discount in about 6 months when the Manners gets here.

I actually like the Chassis better the more I get used to it. Was up in the mountains with it here in 33*and snowing weather. Didn't bother me much. I went with the folding adapter and still almost need a little more LOP, but it's pretty comfortable still since I have to shoot from numerous improvised positions. I'm about to sell my M10 Action, Manners T2A, and the barrel I spun on it just because I like the Chassis so much. The more I use it the more I wonder why I used anything else!

Never mind. I was looking at it from my phone. I was looking at your picture in Jim's quote..... It was actually Jim's signature line......lol
Love it!
VERY NICE! I have to say this is one of my favorite looking guns in this thread.
I looked at most all the photos. I think this is the only B&C in this thread. I happen to want one despite what the elitsts say. Your Tan with Black Web is my color choice BTW. Sockeys is out of the M40 in all colors but they have the Medalist. I like both of them. Stokeys is only 1.25 hours North of me. I am going to visit and bring my 10 FCP action and bottom metal with me.
Get a Large or regulat size Stock Pack from Triad. They include stuff to build up a cheek weld and you have a very nice felt for your cheek to rest against. Plenty of storage too.
Well here goes...not super fancy but it seems to shoot well so far.
Model 10 which was originally a wood stocked 243.
22" Apache varmint contour barrel in 7mm-08
Northland Barrel Nut and Recoil Lug
Bell & Carlson Stock
Glades Armory handle
EGW 20 MOA rail
Falcon Menace 4-16x FFP scope
And here's the very first 3 shot group with hand loaded ammo...H4350 under 162gr AMax
I'll take it.

Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Savage 10 FCP-HS / CDI bottom metal with AI mags / Leupold Mark 4 E/RT 8.5-25x 50mm / Warne steel rings and base / Bradley cheek rest / Atlas PSR bipod
First 3 shot group at 300 yards (Fed GMM 168 SMK)
Load development at 100 yards (3 shot groups) I thought they may be flukes but confirmed them in all three rounds at sub 1/4 moa. Original measurements done at the range with a ruler, corrected later at home with calipers. Varget and H4895 were sub 1/2 moa no better than factory GMM.
remeasured with calipers at .190"
remeasures with calipers at .150"
My Mark II has a Boyds and DIP bottom metal. Super shooter and the reason I got the model 10.
Cheers,
Bobby
LOL I like that.
.338 Lapua 110 FCP Action, timed & trued
XLR Industries Evo Chassis w/ Tac-Lite stock
Pac-Nor 29" NBRSA contour barrel

She's way overweight and obnoxiously loud, but there's something about her that I can't stay away from.
