Confirmed a third time- there must be something wrong with the ring cap

@HawkinsPrecision

Help this guy out.

Already on it.

what barrel brand did you go with?

 

[Barnesc6]

Got it figured out. Looks to be that there is a very slight taper to Leupold Mark 5... at least within their tolerance that caused this difference in fit. Thanks to @HawkinsPrecision for the help!

Leupold confirmed there is an acceptable taper tolerance for the scope tube diameter? Pictures can be deceiving but if those rings are perfectly square that seems like more taper than I would be happy with.. It looks like the rings are bottomed out on one side.

Give Lee a call at Oregon Mountain Rifle. Great guy and super knowledgeable

Doest lee just check head space and screw on the barrel and tighten the lug lol

I just did a 300 WM custom build for elk and mule deer at Altus which was an awesome experience (thanks Josh!). 24” proof barrel, defiance anti action and proof stock, only had it to the range twice so far but it’s incredibly consistent, 1/2 MOA or better. Came in under well $4k. Highly recommend Altus

Finally pushed some 143g factory and some 127g hand loads through the new rifle

New to the precision shooting world.. if I’m getting .5in spread on my caliper and I’m shooting 6.5 (.264) does this mean I’m shooting a 1/4min group?

You subtract the diameter of one bullet when you measure that way.
.500 - .264 =.236 Group.

Looks like an awesome rifle to me.

Thanks for the info @BRTreedogs. Anyone know if it’s worth getting Magneto Speed V3 vs Sporter. I have a break under 3” and barrel diameter is under 1”. As far as I can see the V3 won’t do much more for me than the sporter?

I have the V3, and also a Wiser Precision mount for it. It allows me to get the speed data I need, but also I can still shoot for accuracy as it isn't attached to the barrel. Generally when is shoot strings, I just leave it on there to see what my loads are doing.

What made you change from a 300wm or 300prc to a 6.5?

What is this mount of which you speak? I love my magneto but would be nice to shoot groups at same time.

406Smith linked the Wiser one I have. I got the one with the Arca and picatinny rail. I just leave the Chrono setup on the Wiser mount, and disconnect the box from the bayonet.
