Gotta be the most shootable/affordable stock Ive ever tried. The stiffness on the echo isnt quite there but for $350? Ill throw this gun in the mcmillan LR tracker when I get it to see if the groups can tighten up at all.
Here’s two 10 round groups through my Cz457 at the Lapua rimfire test center. Both groups individually at the top and then the 20 round group is the larger target. And then the same exact groups but measured at 100m instead of 50 (laser range tests both consecutively)
What a cool process. Will be back once I get a new llija or similar barrel for it.
Tikka T3x lite 270 Win with a Harvester Evo and a 3-10 SHV. 10 shots of factory Precision Hunter into .973”. @Jimbee sent me this barrel for the cost of shipping and it now has well over 1000 rounds on it. What a guy!
P.S. this barrel is threaded 9/16th and it has an adapter up to 5/8ths. It’s threaded at 22”. No issues whatsoever.
Tried some neck tension tests with the Tikka 223, apparently this thing just doesn't care and keeps stacking groups together. The more i read of @Formidilosus, the more seems to be true, choose a load, shoot it and roll on, barrels shoot or they don't. This barrel is also over 2000 rounds with no cleaning, nothing has ever been in the bore.
