Let’s see those Smokeless builds!!

Anyone else have a shorter barreled SML?? Love the looks of @onpoint SML. Would be awesome in the stand or blind

The energy that these things produce why anyone would want to hunt with a 26" barrel plus a 2 to 3" brake in a blind is mind boggling to me.

I did get a chance to shoot my smokeless muzzy today. Hankins Prefit Brux barrel. Remmy 700 action, Timney, B&C Alaskan ti stock bdl Zeiss 6.5-20. 275 Parker black max, 72 grains 4198 scootin along at 2860 fps. Only 130 yard shot bedded but landed 3 feet away stone dead!
Pic with snow is where he was bedded and impact flipped him over the log steep downhill shot. Impact hit front leg between knee and shoulder the way it was lying when I shot. Took out 3/4 of heart and several ribs on exit. Unfortunately the -10 temps made him shed his antlers and I thought I was harvesting a doe. But he'll eat well!

Holy Moly you can put a beer can in that hole. Or maybe a 6 pack. Congratulations, what a awesome gun.

A beer can would fit sideways!

WOW
You should sell that rifle to the Ukraines. Anti Tank-they would destroy the Russians!

Deputy that is incredible. I have wanted to go to one of his challenges. Maybe one day I'll get there and see that beauty in person. NJ to KY is just a 2 day drive.

Thanks, fellas! Hopefully, it will make a good showing (with me driving it) at the Kentucky Challenge(s). Special thanks to @buckeye68 for recommending the 'Kestros' stock……and inevitably spending MORE of my money!

Kestros - McMillan Stocks

The Kestros stock is the next generation of F-Open stock designs. It is a redesign of the F-Class. We’ve improved the forend by raising the parallel portion to 1” and contouring the rest up to the top of the forend. This allows the stock to better withstand the torque of F-Open calibers. It...

How does it feel being behind it?

Feels like an extension of you. The full adjustability and fit/feel of the stock is amazing.

Also who did the build??

Jeff Hankins!
