Sherman light (not for drinking)

I ordered a barrel in .270 too. I can't decide if I want to do the original plan or do a SS. I've got months to decide though.

+3 on the SS

Here is the first major piece of the puzzle. Manners EH-4 in Midnight Camo. Light as a feather and short! Bigngreen is already ordering shades of pewter cerrakote for the barrel. Should look pretty sweet with the Titanium Razor action (coming soon). The fluted Brux should also be here in Feb. ........Rich

You will like it Rich. I really like mine.

Do you have the EH-4?

Do you have the EH-4?

Yes I do on my 6.5ss

Action will be here tomorrow! Here is the scope that is going on it. It weighs 14oz.

Rich,
What's the wait time on the stock?

Rich,

I have the stock! I weighed everything I have except the barrel and it weighs 72oz. Depending on how we doctor the barrel, it should come in at about 36oz. which makes the rifle FIELD READY minus a sling, at 6 3/4 lbs. Here is the trigger.

If I didn't know any better, I would say that was a rebranded version of my Kahles Helia KX 3.5-10x50 w/ the 4D reticle.

One thing I have noticed with my lightweight 6.5ss when shooting is that there is a considerable amount of torque with the rifle. Mine took a while to develop a technique to become accurate.
Yours might be different.

 

[bigngreen]

The best shooters I know who run super light rigs pretty much free recoil. Hadn't thought of it before but for a right handed shooter a left twist bartlein would be more favorable with torque issues.

 

[elkaholic]

I have never figured out why barrel makers do not make more left hand twist barrels?

I think they're afraid the bbl would unscrew itself I've often wondered that myself. What effects would that play on spin drift?

At our longitude, it should be a plus for spin drift......Rich
