    I don't like Ruger's much but that looks very cool mate, if it shoots as good as it looks it must be a tack driver.

    I built this rifle up for myself about 5 years ago after my L42 style No4 .308 struggled after 800 metres (probably my fault). It is in .30/06 and throws a 167 grain Lapua scenar at 2950 fps for 0.5 MOA groups. I found an old M17 action which I modified to Rem 700 dimensions, altered the bolt handle and removed the magazine belly. I fitted and chambered a 10" twist John Thompson (Azumith barrels, Christchurch) hand-lapped CM #5 blank which I finished at 26" and threaded for the over-barrel suppressor of my own design and manufacture. The trigger is a tweaked Timney Sportsman, a laminated Boyds semi-finished blank which I pillar bedded, 20 MOA Brownells Rem 700 LA base, and a Sightron SIII 6-24 mildot scope. I bead-blasted and blued it. The 26" barrel allows the use of slow powder (ADI 2214SC) to give good velocity at low pressure. I started out using IMR 4350 but got a few pressure problems with it at the upper end velocities. Now that summer is here again I will have to drag it out a bit more!

    Nice looking rifle, good to see a M17 build, not too many of those around. Any reason you kept the barrel reinforce that long?

    Yes, the M17 is a good solid action. Remington made them commercially as the Model 30 until they introduced the much cheaper 700 action. I left the reinforce that long to keep the weight up a bit to prevent exessesive overheating in 5 shot strings, and also to provide a good bedding surface (it is bedded to the front of the reinforce) that will reduce the nodal length of the barrel vibrations. Whether that theory has particular validity is a moot point but the group sizes certainly remain tight as the barrel heats up.
