This is my sheep rifle. Its pretty much my everything rifle too. Model 70 300WSM with a SWFA 3-15 scope. I have a lot of faith in this gun these days. Its killed two sheep.

This is my Blaser R8 in .30-06 on a rock in the Brooks range from last year. The stock is a custom carbon fiber stock, painted by a guy I met on 24hourcampfire. Amazing accuracy and a heavy scope worth carrying for me (Swaro Z8i).

Who makes the stock? The R8 intrigues me, but the stocks are a bit heavy.

It’s from Christiansen Arms Europe
It cut the weight of that rig from 9lb 6oz to 8lb 3oz (Rifle +scope+mount)

What are the specs on that TC? I have had one sitting in the safe scope less for 5 years, yours made me give mine a second thought.

-Weight with sling is 6-1/2 lbs, I’ll likely get in under 6 in the near future with some fluting and swapping the stock.
-Total length is 34-1/4”, it fits completely inside my Fulcrum without disassembly.

I just got done tearing mine down and weighing everything. Then I jammed out the custom order form on MGM....and checked back for your reply.

I still have some head scratching to do, but you may be breathing life into a rifle I really want to like that just needs an edge to get exciting.

The total length is exactly what I am looking for!! what stock swap is available? Thanks for the info.

I’m looking at the plain synthetic model without the recoil stuff in it. Should drop a few ounces. MGM’s standard taper is borderline a bull barrel. Aggressive fluting will save some weight for sure.

I’ve got 70 rounds through it and it keyholes Nosler 120 BT’s consistently.

Hmmm....I always like me a good rabbit hole when it comes to shaving ounces. Thank you.

My “other” sheep rig made me famous.....ok, legendary.....(heavy tongue in cheek). I had this .260 Rem made by HCR for a 2014 trip. Fabulous accuracy....laid in a sheep bed for over an hour waiting for the big boy to stand up. Happened upon the HCR website to see me on the cover

Alamo Precision 28 nos with scope, rings, pic rail, and bipod is under 10lbs. Harvested this NM Barbary with it on a 20+ mile trek.

Hopefully this picture works. Just had this one built by S&S. 300 wsm, weighs just shy of 5 lbs without glass. VX6 going on top. Haven’t gotten to put my hands on it yet, but will get some better pics when I get back in town. View attachment 95408
Nice rifle! Post up the specs when you can. Looks like a McMillan stock and proof barrel, let us know the rest.

Beauty! Although a downgrade in optics I think since this rifle rightfully sits in you kitchen space you should consider swapping to this COBRA system.
