Another 300 Norma Magnum.

Since selling my last one I've been wanting to build another 300 Magnum, I wasn't sure if it would be another 300 Norma or a 300 Lapua Magnum.

I imported some Petersen brass & tested it in a 300 Norma mag I put together for the purpose, it is much better than Hornady, Bertram & Norma brass

A hunting trip next weekend forced my hand & this one showed up from Scott on Friday so I got busy to put it all together & get going this weekend.

Nitrideded Defiance Ultralight action, Trigger Tech Diamond trigger 26" Proof Research barrel, T3 Terminator muzzle brake.

It weighs 4.015 Kgs, (8.85 Lbs)

It was being a little difficult & didn't really love the Berger 215 & 230 Target Hybrids so today I tried some Hornady 212 ELDXs & away she went :)

It was looking pretty good so we took it for a walk this arvo to take some pics & bust some rocks at distance to check the data, lucky it only has a 26" barrel.

It was a great success & hopefully I can get some terminal performance data for the 212 ELDX next weekend :)

Very happy with it so far :)

Very nice @Kiwi Greg. Any idea why it doesn't like the Bergers?

Don't know, its the first one that hasn't, I don't have time to argue with it, so I won't at this stage, she is done & ready to go :)

Do you recon your better half would carry my rifle too? My Son is still too short and would drag the pack on the ground.
I look forward to seeing how it goes.

Do you want to buy that stock ?

Man you do some nice builds.
Question, how much clearance is there on the cheek rest of the stock too the bolt in the rearward position? It’s hard to tell in the photo, almost looks like the bolt sitting on top.

It has a small recess cut out of it for the cocking piece.

I haven't done bugger all with it, been too busy with customer builds & Benchrest rifles.
