Thread: Rifle Builds

moments thinking about making a rifle platform, ammo etc better for what i want to achieve take up a huge part of my day . .. whats left over i think about hunting.

getting the funds to make it happen is the problem we all know . . but on the positive side if you have to watch the pennies ya do have to choose very carefully what to do . . . anyway, this is my 3rd dedicated cast bullet rifle i am putting money into and probably not my last



previous owner chopped the barrel to 18'' i went to 15'' with a short mag

i've tried something like 5 or 6 scopes lookn for that mix that work best for me in the field and on the range, some modified with reticle changes and custom dials . . its taken a few years but getting close now. Mk4 3.5-40 mildot with M3 dial ( 1 MOA per click, 55 MOA in one turn with zero stop ) sitting in Burris rings with 10 MOA cant in front and rear ring on a custom 50 MOA rail - enough to get me to 400yds with subsonic ammo firing 197grn bullets.

plans for the future are a trigger job, DPT modular overbarrel suppressor to replace DPT can, lastly maybe have a look at the forend bedding .. other than that it fits the job description nicely, to shoot Goats (mostly in Central with 35-70 a week is common ) with cheap cast bullets out to 200yrds and the occasional Deer with 1600fps load out to 100+ yrds
