Thor would be proud

[Oatmealsavage82]

Here is the latest build out of my shop rundown as follows.
Defiance deviant left port right bolt single shot action
Macmillan a5
Timney target trigger (Jewell on route)
MTU contoured benchmark 1-9 6 flutes at 26 inches chambered in 338-375 ruger.
Can't wait to hear the report on this one.

338-375 JBT...

How far do you think it will shoot?

 

[257 Wby Mag]

God Damn, your building some badass rifles!! Nice work.

 

[Rman]

Thor would have built a repeater...If only obviously.

R.

 

[Brazo]

Looks nice! Way to go.

 

[JIMMY 808]

Been in several fire fights and seen some good reloading and some not so good reloading. It will shot fast enough for its intended purpose.

What bullet(s)?....................

 

[Oatmealsavage82]

Think buddy fire formed with some 210 grain nosler spitzers he had laying around, the results were very impressive to say the least, first two shots out of the gun went in the same hole. Think he got 10 rounds off before the monsoon began and they all followed suit. I cant wait to see what it will do with a slippery bullet.

I've heard good things bout benchmarks 338 snouts.. ya thinkin two fiddys?

A 9" single shot will leave some moves..................

 

[Oatmealsavage82]

Yeah im thinking thats where he will end up but some of those 285s may be interesting. What are the skinners like in 338

 

[Oatmealsavage82]

I cant say a bad thing about any of the benchmarks ive chambered, 243, 257, 264, 284, 30, 338 they all seem to shoot great and dont foul.

No different than anywhere else. They are ultra consistent,ultra reliable and are the most rugged of the VLD's.

For paper/steel there's lotsa routes,but they seal the deal for Critters...and will happen to do spectacular things on paper/steel.

Win/win.............

 

[Oatmealsavage82]

I may have to build myself one of these 338-375 rugers yet. Have a pard with a 9.3 benchmark blank and he's thinking a 9.3-375 could be interesting

 

[Big Stick]

It'd be a fair to middlin' 250 Skinner Launcher.................
