I'm sure I can get it on an action etc

Even at 24" it goes very well

Found some pressure data from that barrel.

150 GMX at 3370, 168 Amax at 3200 fps

With the light Barnes bullets I would try IMR4895 first. (And use the data from IMR themselves.) With the barnes bullets you can load them up a little bit more than normal, but work up carefully in half grains, because with this faster powder the pressure signs come on suddenly.

Now that is very usable lr velocity compared to 308win at 2750- 168amax and 3180- 130ttsx.
Shame horny don't do a 130 gmx.

bare rifle is 2.9kg or 6.4lb, not to bad I thought. Plain Jane version would be most use, no crying if you fell over and scratched the stock

Hopefully with the California lead ban coming Hornady will pull finger & make some lighter GMXs, they rock

A very nice looking rifle for sure, would be interested in seeing the price.

They are quite a few straight pulls available other than Blaser.

It's actually a 10x which is externally identical. The recoil spring was removed as per USMC ww2 specs as they found sand would jam the recoil spring. You just have to pull the scope back after each shot!

And that groove thing the bolt runs back on would likely be full of grit and snow.
