@Ryan_Songhurst
if a certain barrel I am enquiring about works out and is what I think it is (if you get the get the clues you may be know it), my project may turn into a 270 cal of some description. I don't like reloading and dicking around weird calibres so I will have to see how this works out.

I know what you mean. I have my A11 for sale (243) at a local retailer, but no interest in over 3 weeks. May have to look at the price again in order to attract more attention that the tuppaware Tikas

Why is everyone selling these beautiful Sako's that are so much better than everything else?

You probably know already...you will require a special mold for that rifle.Trapdoor springfeild projectiles have a hole in the base to make the bullet obturate into the Rifling.

I load 65grn 1.5 fg under a Milk Carton wad.It is a compressed charge but that is the only load that shoots well for me.Regular 45/70 cast bullets went sideways through the target at 100.

It seems the only time I post in this thread it's to show one of the kids guns!

So I have been trying to do something light for my 10 year old who is just getting in to speed steel and ipsc mini rifle. I did look at the S&W15-22 again but I cant get past the fact you cannot get a 15 round mag for them. It's 10 in an acat config and thats it. Not much good for our competitions but I did like the weight..

Ended up making this. It's 1950grams without optic and a bit under 2200 grams with the holosun. That extra 200 grams does feel like quite a bit though.. Still, quite happy. Ended up being about 400 grams lighter than a 15-22 thanks to the light stock and CF handguard. That and the fact I put the barrel in the lathe and removed 200mm off it..

Having the really short barrel does make a difference to the feel of the weight, with the mass back towards the receiver its much easier to hold reload on the move for him.

What's the build list?
