Wait... you guys are drawing elk tags?!? 🤣 I'll also settle for my general tag.

I have one in 300 win, in its factory configuration it shot sub moa with multiple factory rounds. In a bell and carlson stock and hand loads its around 3/4 moa at 200 yards. I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on another.

thats neat!

That sounds like THE plan. I could deal with that weight for sure but I don’t blame you for wanting to go with less weight!

That’s what I’m thinking. Mostly because I wanna get a suppressor for one as well. That’s a beautiful rifle system. What’s she gonna weigh in at with optics you think?

What length barrel are you thinking? I’m kicking around wanting a 338 and this sounds interesting as all get out! Tagging in for the progress and results

I should have also mentioned mine isn’t bedded either

I have one that I bought 3 years ago on a vanguard and it’s my favorite rifle, I’d buy another one in a heart beat

Planning on taking the afternoon of the opener in MT off, being a Monday. I look forward to spring bear, been after it for a about 4 seasons now so hopefully we can put a couple on the ground this season between my buddies and I. Also pretty excited Montana extended some of the hunt unit season...

They are a solid rifle platform, this one was my grandfathers and passed on to my uncle who recently passed it on to me, so its got a bit of sentiment. I was hoping for a little more speed but I have a hard time passing up accuracy.

In my experience of 1, the 200 grain eldx at 2882 fps from a 300 win hammered my bull at 443 yards and according to 4DOF was going around 2202 fps with 2153 ft/lbs. Definitely not at top end load but it was getting towards book max. Bull ran about 40 yards and was dead when we got up there. I...

I'm looking at getting the Magpul lite hunter for an axis II in 6.5 cm, not exactly chassis but might be an option.

I have a 223 Wylde upper from them, side charger, 20" stainless barrel. super accurate with 55 and 68 grain ammo (hornady frontier). I've been more than happy with it for what I paid.

After running the magneto speed on what I’m believing to be a slow barrel, 70.5 grains of staball hd and a 24” barrel gets me 2822fps. Good news is that it’s just over and inch grouping at 200 yards. Should do for deer and spring bear if I’m not carrying my 300 win
