Is that the MOA ffp tenmile?
And if you care to talk about it,whats different about that action design?

Good one. She better start in 6 months before this one gets replaced

Hahaha isn’t that the truth

Yes it’s the MOA one. I just switched back to MOA since all my buddy’s still shoot it and it doesn’t make any difference to me honestly.

Yeah sure! So the main action he designed was the long action Lapua. Bigger tenon, bigger lugs, longer COAL, full length rail with a tapered front lug for mounting shorter scopes and the rail is machined out in the center to lighten it, a few other lightening points and a different bolt handle. 1/2 the fluting the depth on the bolt as the Anti-X so it runs smoother.

This SA has the same features, but is internally identical to the Ruckus I believe. He just wanted the actions to match.





I have a short action Vesper as well, and running them side by side is night and day with feeding and bolt cocking. Vesper is going down the road.

Also forgot to update, that the 180 ELDM works great on elk.

Oh cool!! I really like that area. He’s only an hour away from me, so it’s pretty dang convenient!

Never knew of him else I might have used him back when I lived there. I left that state behind now though and glad about it.

I don’t blame you one bit. I make the most of it out here, but it isn’t my dream state haha.
