Back from my first day of hunting, rainy day but I catch a red deer. Thank you so much guys for you informations, especially HIGHDRUM, for save my project and probably my safety. I'll go probably for a Kelbly Long Atlas .338 action (was my first option, but I had problem with export (I'm in...

Hello, after 2 years I almost finish my hunting-long range shooting rifle in 300 Norma Mag: so far I got a new REM 700 action, Lothar Walther Medium Palma barrel, MDM 5 port BEAST muzzle brake, timney calvin elite 2 stage trigger. I have a question about a stock: I'm about to order a...

Thank you!! Doubt flies away.. I'm gonna stay with 1:9! Sable tireur: I was eager to know the answer I already open a new thread: Was about ordering a Manners Prs1 stock and Kelbly long action! Because Kelbly say that is the same of Remington 700 long action and in the Manners website do you...

I'm ordering from a UK reseller because they said that they won't ship in Switzerland. So I have to tell the UK reseller to carefully tell them that is KELBLY ATLAS TACTICAL LONG ACTION?

Hello, I already introduce myself with a previous post, I'm completely new and ignorant to long range shooting (just hunter with some knowledge of arms). I'm building my first custom rifle (300 Norma Magnum on Kelbly Atlas Tactical Long Action) also for learning how to reload. I'm about to...

I just got another question: I see some people have a 1:8 twist instead of 1:9, I read that is faster for heavier bullet(200 and up) but if you want to shoot lighter bullet is better the 1:9 that's correct? I just found out that there's an association nearby that shoot up to 500m/800m monthly...

Thank you for your time and all the answers!! Now I'm ready to buy the barrel!

I have a question what's the difference between a "light palma contour" (28inch) that weight 2.27 kg (5lbs) and a "standard heavy varmint" that weight 2.63 kg (5.8lbs). I guess less heating problem... More accurate? And longer life? Another question, still on the groove: it's accurate the 6...

Sable tireur: I choose 300 Norma Magnum because I wanted a caliber for long range as well, but in Switzerland there're not many events to shoot long range. Digging in internet I found this caliber, is a bit performant than 300WM and less recoil than a 338 LP. I shoot my 325WSM without muzzle...

Thank you for the quick answer. Then I follow your advice, 5 shot max :-) I will be probably choose "Standard Heavy Varmit", but just for curiosity if I would like something less heavy? (The whole gun with scope will be 14-16lbs (6.5kg to 7.5kg) depending on the stock) How important it's the...

Hello, I'm new to the forum and to the long range shooting, I'm a hunter from Switzerland. I decide to get close to the reloading ammunition and the long range shooting. For doing that I choose to build my first full custom rifle (I already own an half custom, 325 Savage): I'm a bit on a...
