Thread: SSRNZ 10 inch 308

the remmy triggers arnt too bad, if it is an x-mark pro it will never change

for the purpose of this rifle it wont need too much done bar shortening and threading, if it all turns to shit iv got a 7mm08 barrel ill fit and it will be back to factory

this is more of an experement, and yes it will wear a suppressor

Short barrels are bloody hard on suppressors, the heat & pressure is much more violent.

You could always put in less powder......

Tui ad?

And have the equivalent of a 38 special?

Righto Gimp, here's the info:

Q: What weight did they end up ? Complete rifle, minus optics and supressor ?

A: Not quite finished yet but almost. So far with only a short barrel to go they weigh 2lb 11oz. Bout a month away till I have five finished.

Q: So that is for the stock/chassis and action ? You still expecting the full rifle to come in at around 4.5 lbs ?

A: Yep that's for the whole rifle minus trigger and barrel, no chassis on my design. With a shorter barrel they should come in at around 4lb.

Scott's email - ssrnz@xtra.co.nz

I find rifles work better with both triggers and barrels

So 4lb plus scope and rings and suppressor? Thats pretty good

You guys know how much he wants for one?

Scott said they were going to go for a bit over $3k when selling but that was a month ago - they feel good. If I was in the market for a new hunt rifle I'd certainly be keen, makes mine feel like an anvil.

If only he did them in 6.5x47Lapua.

Scott will if you ask him, a 7mm08 and 7mmsaum is in the design parameters as are all short action calibers and chamberings.

The action design allows Scott to build a longer action to accommodate all long action calibers too, so a saum and a rem mag are on my list

Im off for a hunt with him soon and will let you know just how good these uber lightweights are.

155 amax or their abouts

2208 would be a waste of time IMO.

I'd probably go for something like H335 in a 10"

I'll have a play with Quickload tonight but surly something in 6.5 would be far more ballsitcally efficient than the dirty ol' 308... Grendel?

Dead deer don't care

A 16in 7mmsaum easily spits out a 140g NBT or Berger VLD @ 3000fps so i regard that as a baseline when comparing.
