I recently got this in a trade on the forum here. I really like this package as set up. However, I have a combination of too many 30-06’s and too many half completed projects. So I would like to sell this or potentially trade it for a Kimber Montana. Preferably something done up on a 6.5 prc/6mm...
]This is a CZ 527 in 223. 1:9 twist. I believe it to be the Varmint Kevlar with the HS precision stock. Barrel is threaded 1/2x28. It also has the CZ factory rings. Would like to get $900 for it. Would consider trades towards Kimber rifles or perhaps swaps for CZ 527’s with the 7.62x39 bolt face.
I understand the concepts but don’t have the knowledge to know the actual numbers and measurements I would need for throating for the 134’s. Your opinion is the saami chamber is sufficient?
Would certainly need to be throated longer. For magazine I’m thinking I will do a blind mag setup. With that plan my figuring is it’s going to have to be built purely for this rifle anyways, so having it formed longer shouldn’t be anymore of an issue than standard length. That could turn out to...
High sectional density ELD-M bullets are all I’m using for hunting now. Most of my shooting is shorter range while on foot stalking, so I can accept the lower velocities in order to have a handier rifle. Will be using it with a scythe on the end, so 17” barrel will have me around 23”
On the stock, I will probably try to find one of the Mauser gunsmiths having carbon fiber stocks made on their molds.
As to the chamber, I hadn’t really thought that far into the throating. May have to see about what I can do different there. Looking at Gordon’s reloading tool, 17” should let...
I have decided to do something a bit different with a Mauser action I had sitting around. It’s an old Sears model 50, so it’s an FN commercial action that was chambered in 30-06.
I want to play around with pushing the Hornady 257 134 gr ELD-M bullet. I want to have it on the shorter side of...
I have killed a lot of deer and hogs with the 208 in 30-06 and 300 win mag. I have killed them from 25 yards out to around 300. It will expand violently and wounding will likely shock you if there is your first experience with more frangible bullets.
Before trying these, I was very focused on...
I was looking pretty hard at the TBAC Ultra 7 myself. Then I saw the Scythe and decided to go with it. I haven't had the chance to shoot the Ultra 7 anywhere, but the Scythe is great. its my 5th or 6th and for your purposes I would say it would work great. I bought a Kimber Hunter in 6.5 to pair...
