    Haha. Mines 6 months old, but still like new. Put 20 rounds thru it, 4 to sight in, then 14 deer/chamois/tahr kills from 16 shots.
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    I don't think your suppressor is long enough
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Just a little update on my seven in the mdt chassis.
    Removed the old suppressor , cut barrel down to 17" rethread and recrowned and fitted a Dpt.
    Tested at a 100m this evening with 130 gr Belmont factory ammo:

    Don't look Gimp...its a .270.

    I bought the Vanguard for $530, and had it delivered straight to Gunworks for a chop to 20", threaded and fluted. Meanwhile the Boyds stock was on its way, and Brian bedded it for me. Slammed a VX2 3-9 on top and here's the finished product. My original intention was to barrel it to .284, but it was starting to get a bit expensive so I stuck to the original calibre and barrel.

    No special reason for doing it except I've always wanted to try a thumbhole stock, and now that I've got a sore wrist after busting it in the bush I thought I would see if its easier to hold. Its turned out that it hasn't made much difference but at least getting it set up with a load will be a bit of fun. Will probably shoot a deer with it and it will go into the back of the cupboard. I'm aiming to get 2900fps with a 130 grn projectile.

    Not a new gun, but shortening + supressing the old 308 seems to have tightened the groups up a tad - shot 12-15mm today with a couple of different loads, down from 20-22mm with the same loads previously. Can't complain.
