Quick run down on a recent build.
Ran it through the chronograph, averaged 2735fps for anyone who is wondering. I did a lot of searching on this forum and the fps was one of my big questions. I already have a 6.5cm that I had cut to 18” and was getting around 2550fps, but I was a bit nervous about chopping a 7 rem mag. I’m happy.
I shaved 2lbs off of my previous hunting rifle and jumped up in caliber. I’ll attach a couple of files below and include a velocity chart for those interested. I figure this is an honest to God 600 yard rifle for critters.
- Tikka T3 Roughteck in 7mm Rem Mag
- Nightforce NX8 4x32
- factory barrel chopped down and threaded to 20”
- Silencerco Omega 300 + ASR brake
- HSM Factory 168gr Berger HVLD
- Weight with rifle, scope, suppressor, brake @ 9lb 13oz
