Ernie,
Tell me your thoughts on the Nosler M48 handgun. I'm cleaning out the gun-safe of a few things I either don't or rarely use anymore to use towards the purchase of one.

Just bought one recently-6mm Creedmoor.
It shoots good, right around 1/2 MOA after shooting factory ammo through it.
I have a EC Tuner brake for it, but have not shot it with that brake yet.
Ran it out to 600 yards or so on steel with success.
Getting a good grip for it is the main challenge, but a friend has it figured out I think.
He hasn't shot it yet, since the modification.
Basically, you want it smooth/slick on the bottom like a McMillan or H-S would be, with a similar angle, while the bottom of the grip is parallel with the forend/barrel
The current production has a new and improved trigger-YES!!!!
As a lefty, I agree!Actually that was one of the things they got right
Look for a Savage Striker, I have two of them. One I used on a custom frame and am getting ready to put a .308 barrel on it. I've got another one that is stock but with a Rifle Basix trigger. It's in 7mm-08 and shoots as well as my M48 in 6.5 CM. I have Striker barrels in 17 Fireball, 250 Savage Imp, 6mmbr and two barrels in .308.

Well the M48 pistol is readily available in 6.5 Creedmoor but in 308 or 7mm-08 are scarce. I'm wanting one in 308 for elk.

Hey, so here's an update:
1st I ordered a left handed Kauger Arms rear grip 6CM. It took about 6 months longer than expected and showed up with the wrong length barrel. They are sending me the correct barrel later. I'm probably going to have to remind them. I have shot about 20 rounds thru it. The action is very smooth. I think it's going to be a shooter. I only had a few days to play with it before they closed our range down for 6 weeks and I had to go back to MI for a nephews wedding. He married a professional volleyball player, her team won the inaugural championship of the Pro Volleyball Federation here in the USA. Might be a while before I get back to the range, we are surrounded by fires right now and I can barely see 100yds because of the smoke.
2nd: I ordered a Alpine XP center grip action from Jim Borden, a Shilen barrel in 25 cal, 1-7 twist, 17 inch finish. I gave the building portion to Aaron Alexander. He's finishing it up hopefully this weekend. Trigger from Dell Taylor, Aaron built the stock. I really like how it feels and fits my hand. I will update once I get to do some shooting with both pistols.
Ernie, thanks again for your help and I'm planning to be at WY-Shoot next year! I'm telling all family no events or Weddings in June!!!

Hey,
I have both pistols now, scopes and brakes on. Haven't shot the 25CM yet, raining for days and our local range is still closed Thought I'd put their pictures on anyways. Rear grip Kauger Arms and center grip, Borden action by Aaron Alexander.
