Tactical bolt action rifle picture thread

[Canonshooter]

Nice photography. Personally for the money I think Magpul NAILED that stock.

Thank you.

I just purchased the Magpul stock, had this rifle in a B&C previously (which I was happy with). But the ergonomics and DBM of the Magpul convinced me to give it a try and so far I have not been disappointed.

My lightweight shooter:

22 inch Browning sporter contour barrel (1 in 12)
Talley 20 MOA base
Titanium Cerekote
McMillan Game Scout stock dipped in Kryptek Typhon
Nikon Monarch 3 5-20x44

Weighing in at 7.6 lbs loaded, this rifle shoots great! Best group I've been able to hold is about .8 moa at 200 yards using handloaded 155 grain SMKs. This rifle started out life as Browning's Hell's Canyon Smoke. All I did was as bed it in the McMillan stock and add the scope. This will be my go to deer rifle this fall.

My first ever bolt gun. Im going to zero it tomorrow morning, then start gathering data the best i can. I have steel setup at 100, 200, and 400 yards. Ive never shot past 100 yards before and have tried to be accurate. It will be interesting.

Here is my submission to the picture thread:
-Accuracy International Arctic Warfare .308 (2012)
This one came with a bunch of options like the monopod and quick adjust buttpad and cheekpiece

-Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x50

-Cerakote by Midway Firearm Refinishing in Midlothian , TX

This rifle is very accurate and I am definitely the weak link in the system . I am hoping to pull the barrel and send it out for threading so that I can add a muzzle brake . So far I am feeling happy and fortunate that I was able to put his together. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161022/86c7df040261b49dc3598b99282c7947.jpg

I finally got my first own rifle, a Remington 700.
308, with a 18 inch barrel and a McMillan HTG stock. A very nice Vortex PST 6-24x50 sight, and some other nice things. Just need to buy a new bipod and possible a muzzlebreak or a silencer later on.

I had intended to get a longer barrel and a AICS stock, but a friend of mine sold this to me relatively cheap. I will buy a 700 in .338 and put an AICS stock on that instead for long range target competition. the 308 will be for hunting.

[daddyusmaximus]

I have a traditional wood stock, so the politicians don't fear it, but the "tactical" scope turrets, and bolt knob clearly make this a gun to recon with.

OK, it's just an all around gun, but it can perform tactical missions too. It's also the only bolt gun I have other than my Mosin that's clearly a tactical bolt gun, just not a pretty one.

In Sweden, its the same with our politicians. They think every modern rifle is just a machinegun. Same with the old breed of hunters, they ostracize us who wants to use modern semiauto rifles or just modern ergonomic stocks like an AICS. I would be on the recieveing end of many evil eyes if I brought a rifle with that stock installed to a hunting game.
Hopefully my current setup wont draw too many looks to it.

Hopefully our incoming president will nominate supreme court justices with more traditional American values. That, and having republican control of both houses should help, at least until the next election cycle.

He has already stated this is exactly what he will do. If he plays his cards right, he will only increase his advantage in both houses of congress.

Took it out for the first time today and it shoots great. Very soft shooting . Ergonomically , it fits me very well and has an exceptional trigger . The bolt lift is stiffer than my AI AW, but I am guessing it will get easier in a short time . It also weighs significantly less than my AIAW. The magazine is arguably better than the AIAW, I really think Barrett magazine is near the top of its class.

I replaced the stock Barrett muzzle brake with a Silencerco ASR muzzle brake as I will be running this rifle with a Silencerco Saker 7.62 ASR.

I traded a Colt/ Cooper M2012 for this rifle an I have no remorse whatsoever except that Euro Optic recently blew out some MRADs at heavy discount and I might have preferred an MRAD.

Very cool. I would have never guessed that the Barrett (this model) weighed less than a AI AW.

What's your max range on your 338 with that short of barrel? Is that a 20 inch?

[Wally126]

The 338 is the longer barrel. 26"

Had it hitting at 1800m odd.

Getting back in to bolt PR...kind of riffing on both of these right now. The RPR/G2 is a legit quarter minute gun. I'm working on finishing up a combo review (w/different factory match loads) for my YT channel and am still waiting on a PRS Gen3 stock. The R700 is new and I'm still waiting on some parts. (glass and mount upgrade), I've already gotten rid of the Rem trigger in favor of A Timney Calvin Elite.

Clean man! Who built it?

Other than the cerakoting of the action and barrel, I did. The Cadex Chassis is extremely modular and feels really good when you're snuggled up into it. The X-Treme Trigger is also the deal. Extremely crisp and light, (Maybe even a little too light for a "mil-spec" gun).

[Doc. Holiday]

Right on, what's it pulling at?

And any one looking for a legit scope cover, try the tactical tailor ones. They even cover up the magwell. Not always necessary, but for 50$, tough to beat.

I see. Didn't know they sold them that way. I actually prefer the chassis you gave to the M2010.

What did the barreled action run?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[shalazaar]

Remington Defense just doesn't seem to deliver which is why I went with the Cadex chassis and I am very happy I did. If you look on europtic every 6 months or so, they get some 2010 actions in, but its rare (due to Remington just sucking). I was on the call list and was able to pick one up. Can't remember what it ran, but it actually wasn't terrible.

Thinking about doing a build around that chassis
What do you think about itA little heavy but a good thing imo, tames the recoil a bit. Would be nice to be able to adjust the chassis without tools but I still like it. Do it.

Thanks PB. Got fed up with Rem700 builds that ended up costing the same in the end and not holding the value of a AI or Cadex chassis gun. I just went for it.

[Pappabear]

I have several of the Rem 700’s. No way to sell them. I’m just going to shoot them to death. Great guns, great shooters. Back in the day, it was more viable option. Now too many nice guns at all price ranges.

[Vegas]

I think that’s the deal you make when you customize a 700. Unless you are ok with taking a bath on resale of course. I have a couple and are probably the last two guns I would sell.

[Jwknutson17]

I still see a ton of value in some of the customs from a few select actions and barrel manufacturers put into a good chassis or stock. But I will never start out with another 700 factory gun and go through it top to bottom with all the custom work again. Sure they shoot well, but after 7k total into a factory rem700, rebarrel, and all new parts, I had to have an intervention. If your doing little by little, the 700 route is awesome. Support from every manufacturer and DYI is fairly simple. Just after so many years doing that, I went another direction and started cleaning house.

[Kenneth]

I don’t know why people buy factory rifles anymore. We change everything on them anyway.

When the Stiller, Nucleus, Curtis, Seekins actions are sub $900 why buy a factory rifle?

I’m sure many more companies are cheaper but I haven’t researched in a while.

I have never put more than $2.5K and others closer to sub $2k in my Custom Remmys , but my Riflesmith is a fraction of the cost as most gunsmiths. I wouldn't push him on people here on the forum, because he requires some badgering to get it done, but he is 5 minutes from me. His work is second to none so Im pretty lucky.

I just think with the Bergara, Tikkas.... of the world that makes great guns in the sub $2k market, the whole Remmy make-over is dying. Like I said, Im just going to shoot the piss out of mine until they die, I still enjoy them.

PB

[Jwknutson17]

That expensive build started out with a new in box gun costing me 1500. After I did a little work I had an issue that Remington could not warranty because I already had GAP do work on the gun. That lead to a complete rebarrel and it went all down hill from there. GAP did all the work at various times afterwards along with a few things from Mile high. It just got to a point of too much money. The gun made me so mad that I had so much into it, I couldn't even look at it. . Sold it for a big loss. I agree with all the points above. I still have a few 700s that I enjoy and will never sell. Shooting to the death also. I just have triggers into them and that's about it.

22 Trainers out at the PWSA Prone and PRS matches last weekend. Son runs the CZ455 and I have the converted 40X. We both could run the KYL straight through at 50 yards, but the yardages on some of the others weren't what we are used to. Need to tune up the dope for more distances. The PRS match kicked my ass, and my that I mean fat ass. Learned a lot about positions and swingers. Also learned that my ADM Recon mount didn't like a smack into a barrier and my scope shifted 2 mils in elevation. That mount is really finicky balance between being on getting on the rail and being a bit loose. The jaws don't like to clamp the rail. I think I got it tweaked now to take any smack and not shift.

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

That is sweet Token. I'm looking at doing a ARC Nucleus build with a BARLOC. How did you decide to go with the nut versus shoulder version? I was looking at the shoulder version, since I thought with most chassis you'd have to take the action out to turn the nut? I'm not planning on swapping barrels a lot, but with the Shouldered barrels, that was closer to my idea of an Accuracy International AT or AX barrel swap.

Did you have to modify the chassis for the barloc? I'm looking at the MDT ACC chassis

Tikka (started life as a Tac A1). Had to convert for left hand myself but KRG makes it pretty easy as they mill for the bolt release and safety on both sides, and leave a lot of meat in the grip panel where you will notch it for the bolt handle.
https://i.imgur.com/HdYiGhV.jpg

And at the same time I bought the KRG chassis for the Tikka, I came across an unfired Nucleus barreled by PVA that I couldn't pass up, and basically what I wanted from the beginning but couldn't wait up to a year for. Been wanting the the Magpul Pro chassis since it came out and finally have a bolt gun to put it in.

Nice M1d. CMP rifle?

[daddyusmaximus]

My take on a tactical bolt gun. A lightweight bolt action carbine that can carried on patrol by an aging half crippled old grunt, and be used in a tactical roll as an area defense tool. No, I won't be waiting is some hide for three days to take a 973 meter shot at some high value target... I've neither the patience, nor the skill, but I can hit anything I can see at 300 or 400 yds and in. About all I'd ever need in my area. Big thing is this is much easier to carry, and shoot than a 12 pound gun, or one that would punish my mangled shoulder. My old 7mm Mauser is about all I can take these days...

This is a Weatherby Vanguard Series 2 in .223. It's very light, and light recoiling. It shoots several loads well, and will one hole the 62gr Bonded. Not supposed to shoot 5.56 in it, but it will shoot 193, and 855 pretty well too. (had to try but I won't make a habit of it) Had the hammer forged barrel shortened to 16.25" to keep it light, and handy.

https://i.imgur.com/gXsDnAQ.jpg

I also have a Remington 700 in .243 that could fill this light tactical patrol rifle roll. It would give me a bit more punch.

"Tactical" doesn't always have to mean "long range", just because it's a bolt gun.

This will be a little more serious attempt to get myself into the precision world. A move that may well end up costing me more money I could (and probably should) be putting into my Jeep build...

New Magpul Hunter stock came in today for the .243 Remington 700. I got this rifle used in a Boyd's stock. Pretty, but no pillars or bedding block, and just a tiny bit of glass bedding around the recoil lug. Although an "el-cheapo" by precision stock standards, I'm kinda on a budget. The Magpul Hunter seems pretty comfy, and it does check most of the same boxes as the $900+ custom stocks do, including having an aluminium bedding block built into it.

The scope is a Nikon M-Tactical .308 4-16x42SF BDC 800. This is also a budget piece, but I've had the 1" tube version for a few years, and have liked it well enough to keep it, and swap it out to 3 or 4 different guns.

I have a Chrono on the way, (finally) so once I can get out shooting again, I'll be able to make some ballistic tables (in MOA to match the turrets) for it. Also, I can choose my caliber, and ammo load in Nikon's "Spot on" app to go with the BDC reticle as well.

Finally got the .243 out to the range. Tried several types of ammo, and she likes the 95 gr Winchester Deer Season load the best. This was at the 50 yd line, so you have to double it, but it's still just over half an inch. Have a few more to try, but so far so good.
It was also windy as hell, and I was having a hard time holding still, so it could be that this was just my best group, as apposed to the ammo the gun likes best... We'll see.

Suppose i need to host this picture to get it to show up bigger.

Anyways this is my first bolt gun. Cheap as dirt TC Compass in 6.5cm that I’ve learned alot upgrading and making it work for me.

Started with an EGW 20moa 1913 rail paired with EGW HD 30mm .850” rings. Stuck a SWFA SS 10x mil scope on top of that.

M•carbo spring kit brought the trigger pull weight down to aftermarket trigger performance.

Resin bedded the forend of the stock to add rigidity to the flimsy plastic stock. Filled the buttstock with sand to add weight and some recoil absorbtion. Also made my own adjustable cheek riser out of a sheet of 3/16 kydex. Bipod is a Harris BRM-S with an American Defense q/r 1913 mount. I used a B&T 1913 rail to interface with the q/r mount and make the bipod easily swappable between my other rifles.

Fitted the stock to myself since Im 6’3” tall and the stock was very short when shooting prone. Used schedule 40 and 80 PVC to make spacers then added longer screws to hold the stock butt pad back onto the stock.

Painted the stock with Rustoleum satin Dark Taupe which is a few shades lighter than magpul FDE cerakote. Then covered it with a flat clear coat to knock off any gloss that the dark taupe had.

New bolt gun upper going together for the SBR.

A discreet little bolt action 5.56 made from a AR-Stoner side charging upper, and the barrel from an Arms Tech Compak 16 I had on my M4 in Iraq. It was 9.5", but it's only 8" without the gas trap.

Howa Mini Action in 6.5 Grendel, MDT chassis, Athlon Helos Gen2 4-20x50, Surefire FA68AR can. Almost no recoil, very quiet, easy to see trace and splash. Have had it out to 600 yards so far, no issues other than reading a switchback wind. Factory 123gr AMAXs go 2520fps, handloading 123gr SSTs long with a goal of 2600fps.

Family cabin near Estes. Great place, but shooting is verboten per the wife's aunt, so I try to keep it quiet and minimal.

How do you like that Strike Eagle overall? I am putting together a 22lr and I currently have a the Diamondback Tactical for it. Im not to keen on the lack of a zero stop.

It gets old buying top shelf scopes for every damn gun whether it be a RDS ( T2 ) for an AR or a scope for .22LR. I have a Diamondback on one Reece Colt build and scope has the Christmas tree reticle so I don’t have to dial even though I prefer to dial. It does the job and was like $250 cheap on sale.

I actually have one in the box in my closet right now. I didnt realize they didnt have a zero stop, which I want. Not the biggest deal killer but it's something Id rather have. Im trying to sell it right now to fund a slightly more expensive scope.

Thanks, look forward to getting that done soon. Was on the gun a lot last weekend, NF worked pretty well, but I definitely am getting a huge glass/tube upgrade...as well as the MPCT3X. Whew, love it at first blush.

This is a R700 in 223. Without a doubt one of my favorite rifles to shoot. Currently has a 1/12 twist barrel so it's limited to 55 grain stuff, but it's a half MOA rifle that I have taken out to 700. This winter I plan on having it rebarreled to run the longer bullets.

Finally confirmed zero with the can, no x axis correction, 0.6 down. Not bad, and tightened groups a bit. Gonna borrow a LabRadar after the holidays and see how velocity looks suppressed.

I considered a re-barrel on my .223 5R, but it shot heavy bullets very well. But if I had an 1/12 I would grab a kick ass .223 barrel in 1/7 or 1/8 twist let the good times roll. Good luck on your gun. Agreed the gun is so much fun to shoot and train with, everyone should have a .223 bolt gun.

Scope pictured is a Steiner P4xi 4-16x56, but it's not what this rifle normally rides with. It's a great scope, but it only focuses down to 50 yards, so it's usually on my larger rifles. Slapped it on here to get some pictures because it was the only thing in a set of rings (Vortex/Seekins PMR at 1.1"). Usually have either an Athlon Cronus BTR Gen 2 4.5-29x56 or a Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56.

Crap, sorry, I missed this question all those months ago.

The Strike Eagle is nice enough for what it is. It's a made in China analogue to the Viper PST or Razor series using the same reticle. I've had no issues with it at all, and the glass quality seems more than sufficient, especially for a rimfire. I got a great deal on it using a veterans discount through EuroOptic.

It does have a zero stop, but it's not as refined as more expensive designs.

[munch520]

Great looking rifle

Thank you sir. The Tikkas are an amazing place to start, love the factory action and trigger. Best thing about this build is that each competition/class has given me new info about what works and doesn't for me. So it's come together nicely but definitely some trial and error. But all those changes through that learning has definitely made for a rig that's perfect now.

Just ordered Magpul's new Daka kit for the Pelicans. Psyched to get a case/travel setup together for it.
