Feed ramp notched and blinder removed AICS Mags, feeding Moly'd 162Amax kissin' @ 2.886" COAL...Have only had one shootin' session so far to moly slick the bore and run some Magnetic fuck show numbers with Lapua 308 brass that had been fired 3-4 times in my other 7mm-08AI, CCI 200's, RE15 for a RCH under 2800FPS...

 

[Lineman]

Damn I like that.

 

[Big Stick]

'17 horned me up,in mine...............

 

[Oatmealsavage82]

I like that A LOT!!!!!!! Love those manners stocks, what do you think of that one?

 

[257 Wby Mag]

Damn... very cool shootin iron!!

 

[Big Stick]

She wishes she could afford an attempt at same.

Bless her heart................

 

[ridgeline]

Stick, I gots '17 on backorder, will gun it asap...

Oats, Love them Manners too. The EH2 has got some seriously good mojo goin' on for me, I'm groovin' on everything about it, Fit/ feel/ finish and that skookum high comb line...

The only thing that sucks is the waiting time *grin* I've got Its clone on order for a Sinister Bitch 243AI....

 

[Big Stick]

'17 shines there.

A 6x MQ in DD's is tougher and grants more up...but your parcel will do nice thangs.

The 7-08AI is a wickedly wonderful bitch with 162's.................

 

[Big Stick]

Just ordered (3) more DBM's.

Thanks for the reminder................

 

[ridgeline]

Happy to help...*grin* I got(2)more ordered, one will be for a spare Micky Rem Classic I inlet for the Atlasworx DBM, will swap in my 223AI for Herd clip fun...

The new poly insert Accurate Mags with some Dremel love look to be Fuckin' money.....

 

[Big Stick]

They ROCK..............

 

[Painless]

I need to punch MR stocked 7/08 out, might just do that next week......

Ridge, digging that build, what do you reckon it weighs?

 

[Big Stick]

DBM the bitch and you'll reap 162 smooches to boot................

 

[go ahead]

That's a nice rifle. Well thought out build.

 

[Painless]

Tis a hunting rig and puts 162's where I want them even with a jump so no go on the DBM, though I am rethinking the ADL on my heavy A5 223AI, have a couple of the Atlasworx on order for 2 more A5's that I have planned builds on. Might just grab another and go whole hog on em........

 

[Calvin]

I like that. Well done.

 

[Driftin']

Dots nicely connected. She's a peach!

 

[Pat85]

That is sweet!

 

[Pat85]

I'am getting another itch and I don't even have the other one completely scratched yet. LOL

 

[Big Stick]

Been itchin' for 3 decades +.....................(grin)

 

[257 Wby Mag]

It is, and I do....

You aren't gonna bitch and whine about the stock a nd glass???

 

[Big Stick]

Does somebody now Pretend to have an Imaginary 7-08AI?

Bless her heart.

Laughing!............

 

[257 Wby Mag]

It's a badass rifle, with a badass scope, hint...

Guess you're not interested in the glass though, as you can have (6) super chinks for (1) nightforce....

Quality over quantity... re hint

 

[Big Stick]

If only to save her the trouble,of Googlin' what she is tryin' to "tell" folks.

They look like this.



Laughing!............

 

[Big Stick]

Nor have I ever seen a Nightfarce.



Bless her heart..............

 

[257 Wby Mag]

Great imagination and pretend.... laffin

 

[Big Stick]

Ooopsie.............

 

[257 Wby Mag]

Dig the mounting hardware!! Laffin

I'd take those 2 over a semi load of chink fuckers... HINT

 

[ridgeline]

Painless, About 9LB sans bipod on the crappy kitchen scales... But it sure as hell don't feel like it! Reckon I nailed it for balance...

 

[Big Stick]

Did a Do Nothing Cunt just Testify obliviously,that she's never seen ANY of the glass cited,let alone their mounts?!?

Bless her heart...............(grin)

 

[257 Wby Mag]

You're wishin I did nothin!! Laffin

Great mounting hardware, again!! Hola!!!

Once again, beautiful rifle!! I just might be inspired....

 

[Big Stick]

Did someone without a 7-08AI...Pretend to Imagine about same?!?

Laughing!............

 

[257 Wby Mag]

It's not about the chambering, rather the set-up. Thinking 260 AI....

 

[Big Stick]

Did someone without said chambering...just DREAM another?!?

Laughing!............

 

[257 Wby Mag]

Not boolits, it's about skeelz.... HINT

 

[Big Stick]

If she COULD afford a DBM...she'd take a pic of it.

Laughing!..............

 

[257 Wby Mag]

You are waaaaay to lazy to "hunt".... lying fuck... laffin

 

[Big Stick]

Someone can't afford any of the stuff she tries to talk about,but "luckily" Imagination and Pretend are priced within her modest means.

Bless her heart..................

 

[hangunnr]

How you liking the 2.5-10x42? Which reticle did you go with?

I ran a 2.5-10x32 MOA/MOAR this year and couldn't find any fault with it.

CR

 

[ridgeline]

hangunnr, It's the MOAR reticle..

I like them enough that I own a pair of them the other has lived on my 243AI since they hit the shores here and like you I cant really fault them. For me it's prolly NF's best pitch for a huntin' rig....

 

[Big Stick]

It's their best effort period.

Suplized they don't build a Fixed Glass..................

 

[ridgeline]

Agreed! on both counts... An NXS fixed 6x42 and 10x42 would be the Tits...

I will however add a coupla few Fixed Fucker 6x MQ's to my trio of 10x MQ's ....

 

[Pappy]

I really like that build. pert near perfect as I can tell and would take a couple just like it. Very nice. Never gunned a Manners but might give one a try sometime.

 

[Big Stick]

Handy blueprint for 223AI,22-250AI,6x45,6BR,243,243AI,7-08 and 7-08AI..............

 

[ridgeline]

Thanks Pappy! I'm pretty sure you would be most impressed with the Manners...

 

[Pat85]

I finger fucked a Manners when I dropped a rifle off for a cerakote finish. Not much not to like about one.

 

[Big Stick]

They are the best Faux McMillans goin'.....................(grin)

 

[Pat85]

Sent an email back when I was doing the creed about inletting for a sako and never got a response back. One thing about Mcmillan, they will inlet just about anything.

 

[Big Stick]

Well in fairness,they've had a purty good headstart on everyone and have lotsa programs on hand...but they are happy to give you whatever you wish.

McMillan has no voids in their patterns,that would or could sweeten another's offerings to me..................

 

[Pat85]

McMillan has no voids in their patterns,that would or could sweeten another's offerings to me..................

Agree, A3 sporter inlet for sako AII, no problem. McMillan hunter inlet for Heym r10, no problem and so on. I really like the fact that they will inlet a wide variety of actions and not just be limited to a 700 footprint.

 

[Big Stick]

They set the bar,for alotta wellfounded reasons.................

 

[Shooter71]

They sent me a loaner EH-6 and it was awesome. Ordered an EH-8 for a 700 but canceled due to runaround lead time. Hard to beat a Montana, period.

 

[Big Stick]

They are easily the most,for the least..................

 

[ridgeline]

A pleasant 60F today and '15 was doing what it normally do,tho earlier in the week at 100++F groups opened up some... Fuck I soooooooo hate Summer.....



Thought it about time I bought a digital scale...

 

[Big Stick]

Shot mine a fair amount this pass,due to the wind velocity.

162's never don't not IMPRESS................

 

[4th_point]

Badass rifle Ridgeline. What velocities are you getting with RL15? And are the groups just opening up or are you seeing a change in POI?

RS Big Game shoots tight for me with low ES and SD, but I've only got a few pounds left. POI has been dead nuts from 90+ down to 30 F. But I'm thinking it might be time to switch to RL15.

 

[Big Stick]

I gun 2850fps in formed Lapooey cases,with a 162 DBM magfed smooch in my 7-08AI...ala '17.

It ain't anywhere CLOSE to "fair"...................(grin)

 

[go ahead]

That rifle is bad ass

 

[Big Stick]

With just a wee bit of direction on that boolit,at dat speed...Magic do happen easily.

Assuredly not a bad way to fly..................

 

[ridgeline]

4th Point,

Rattled 3 pokes with 43gn '15 over the Magnetic fuck show for 2787, 2790, 2800 fps Temp 60F. This has been a accurate load with this rifle and my previous 7-08AI...

When shooting in 100++F I started to get ejector swipe tattle tales and a hint of sticky bolt lift and groups "opened up" I cant recall shooting the other 7-08AI rifle in that warm of weather....

 

[4th_point]

Thanks for the info. Sounds like a good load.

Jason

 

[Big Stick]

'17 done me better than '15,in formed cases................

 

[4th_point]

Would you go 15 or 17 in a vanilla-7/08?

 

[Big Stick]

'15 is better there..............

 

[4th_point]

That's good news, I've got several pounds of 15.

 

[ridgeline]

Just as soon as my '17 Backorder is filled I will give it a pounding...

Stick,

If you don't mind me asking, how many grains of '17 for 2850 Fps ???... I'll work up to it *grin*

No shortage of H4350 here so I sent some 162's over the MFS for giggles...

 

[Big Stick]

I don't shoot paper,until I find the pressure I wanna operate at...then I know load "development" is done. Generally only takes a coupla pokes.

I'm at work and am not 100% on the charge,so won't burn you with my best recollection...........

 

[ridgeline]

No problem! could be a little while yet before '17 shows up, when it does I'll KFPRO.... #grin#

 

[Big Stick]

Be curious to hear how it unfolds for you.................

 

[Lineman]

How's things coming with this rifle?

I look at this thread once a week and then have to convince myself I don't need his ones twin.

Sold 3 this past week and thinking hard on it...

 

[Big Stick]

Pard has a Manson 7-08AI reamer wearing .080" freebore enroute and I reckon it'll become purty fucking FAMOUS.................(grin)

 

[ridgeline]

Lineman, It's a Skookum blueprint for sure, I'm tickled with how it has worked out...
Parts are coming together for the sinister sister 243AI...

This rifle has notched 4 deer this month 275,300,330,420yds and steel and rocks to 920yds, still yet to really stretch shit out, now that the weather is finally starting to cool off some I will get after it more often...

Gotta love the 162 Amax as it never ceases to amaze in it's ability to slip atmospherics and CRUSH shit when it arrives...

Don't want to twist your arm but I'd not linger any longer, Just do it ....*grin*

 

[Big Stick]

The 7-08AI/162 melding,is a Mind Fuck..................

 

[Lineman]

No worries on 9 twist with 162s here right?

 

[Big Stick]

1-10" will do it at sealevel in a SAAMI 7-08.

9" of course bein' a preference..............

 

[4th_point]

Made the change from RS Big Game to RL15. Shot 5 over the chrono from the 7-08 Montucky yesterday, using Lapua brass:

2622
2627
2625
2629
2635

Then shot 4 at 490 yards. I fucked the first, but the next 3 stacked.

 

[Big Stick]

22" SAAMI 7-08 1-10" Liljee and it's an absolute fucking HAMMER with 162's.



That rifle alone,has sold alotta 162 A-Max.................(grin)

 

[Big Stick]

I hear good thangs.................(grin)

 

[4th_point]

The 162 AMAX and RL15 were showing some promise a few days ago. Made a slight tweak yesterday.

 

[Lineman]

2800fps, < 23" and < 9lbs would make me very happy.

 

[Big Stick]

All of which is a breeze...............
