Accessories PVA .300blk osprey barrel for terminus action

This is a 13" spiral fluted, 7 Twist, M24 barrel threaded 5/8x24 and prefit for a Terminus Apollo
It took me a minute to dial in a load for this but that's more because subsonic can be finicky. Shoots great now, and I'm more than happy to share my load data with the buyer. Probably about 500 rounds down the tube, it is a bit heavy. According to PVA It should headspace on a Curtis axiom, all apollos and all kratos as well.

The last picture is it in a night stalker for length reference.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Help Needed - The Curse of the "Free" Gun continues- Stiller Vs Defiance & other 700 action clones

I was given a Remington 700 Long action American Wilderness Rifle chambered in 300WM. It was Free but is now my most expensive rifle and I am considering replacing the last remaining piece of what this gun was which is the action if I include the Zeiss LRP S3 I purchased for it.

I am extremely pleased with the way the gun shoots at it will shoot 0.20 or better over bullet diameter when I am able to do my part. I have shot it out to a mile so far but plan to go further. (I can't even do a transonic Kestrel truing at 1 mile) I have it in a MPA Ultralight Chassis and it has a Bartlein 1:8 twist Heavy Palma barrel finished at 26" + a Little BsTrD break. It is chambered in 7mmX300 Win Mag Wildcat that has an Improved 37 Degree shoulder. (Absolutely love this round). I had been dreaming of a heavy 7 build for a while and I figured once I had the free Rem 700 Long Action Magnum bolt face then the timing could not be better. I shoot 7mm 195 Gr Berger EOL Elite Hunters at 2,945FPS only 70.8 Grains even with no pressure signs 1.2 Grains heavier charge at 72 Grains of Vihtavouri N565. (Still planning to try the N585 even though I am extremely pleased with this load.)

Anyways- The gun shoots great- but it handles incredibly poorly in comparison. The action has been blueprinted and trued. However the bolt lift is abysmal (especially for that last 10 or so degrees before the inevitable click of this action. On the ladder test whether I am a down to 70.2 grain or up to 72.0 Grains there is no real difference in the bolt throw. I would not be able to stay on target and cycle the spent round with 1 hand. I have considered having the bolt timed and maybe a new firing pin kit- But I think in the end I have gone so far with this build that a custom 700 clone action would be the best next step. If someone thinks otherwise please do not hesitate to speak up.

I have ordered 2 more barrels from Bartlein and am strongly considering swathing actions. These will both be chambered in the same 7mmX300WM W/ 37* improved shoulder. I am still going with Bartlein but stepping down from a the Heavy Palma Countour to the Remington Varmint to shave a few ounces. The barrel I have on this rifle right now has around 700 rounds down the tube. No issues with groups opening up yet- But I want to be ready and not cause a delay when it does come time to retire this barrel and it just made since to me to do 2 at the same time.

I am looking for any and all feedback on how to pick the best Rem 700 LA clone/footprint/fit action for me.

The 3 I am currently considering (though I am very early in my research) and again open to all suggestions are...

#1) Defiance Ruckus GA Hunter- I like this because it is ready to ship. I also know Defiance has a proven track record and I prefer to have some sort of coating It also has the 2 piece / Skeletonized 20MOA rail that I prefer. .
Stiller Predator is on the table as my smith has one- However I was very intrigued by the Muley Freak Wombat Stiller Action. I would love feedback on any of the Stiller Wombat actions or really any similarly"skelotonized" actions.
Terminus Kratos Lite- I have been hearing good things about this company and am intrigued by the threaded trigger pins among other things. I like that its DLC Treated and the idea of 60 Degree bolt lift is something that sounds enticing- (any feedback at all positive or negative on shorter than 90 degree bolt lifts would be greatly appreciated.

( ANYONE WHO HAS AN ACTION THEY WOULD WANT TO SELL THAT MEETS THESE PERAMATMETERS PLEASE MESSAGE ME.)

My Parameters in selection my new action are as follows.


-Deal Breakers-
-Must be available in RH Long Action with Magnum .550 or similar boltface. (Brass is/will be Lapua 300 win Mag)
-budget is $2,100.
-Must be a Remington 700 Clone/footprint to work with my existing chassis, trigger etc. Recoil lug is currently bedded in my chassis but I assume my smith can machine my chassis for some of the thicker recoil lugs out there if needed.
-Must be able to handle at least some dirt a grime as this is a long range hunting rifle as well as target. Has to be able to be packed around for at least a few days in a row and then function as needed when/if I locate the animal I am hunting.
-Ideally to be under 30oz 36oz MAX (Heavies action I am considering is the Impact Precision Shooting NBK at 33oz which for a hunting rifle is notable difference to the Stiller Muley Freak Wombat at 23oz)
-I want the best accuracy I can get but do not want to make any compromises on how easy the bolt throw is.
-Must accept AI and AI Type mags (3.825")
I think a 3.5 month lead time would be around as long as I would be willing to consider. That is about when I expect to need to rebarrel based on my current shooting schedule/plans for this rifle- More realistically would be closer to 8-10 weeks unless there was a major benefit to my final selection compared to my runner up. Ready to ship of course would be the best.

--Beneficial but not a must---
I really think I would like to get something factory coated (Nitride or DLC or something similar to help smooth consistent cycling. Stiller's "proprietary coating on the Mark 13 could prove beneficial as that is one of the most expensive actions I am considering so far.
Ideally I would like to be able to have a fluted bolt and either an oversized bolt knob or even better would be interchangeable bolt knobs
In a perfect world my new action would have a 2 piece 20MOA Picatinny rail that does not span over the open portion of the action.

Thank you all for your time and consideration in reading this. Sorry it was so long. Please speak freely (while obeying the forum rules) about the actions I am considering, should be considering, or really any feedback or personal experience that can assist this selection whether it's positive or negative.


Here are a few pics of the rifle as it is now since you were nice enough to read so much about it.

BnA Tacsport X vs PRO

Looking to get either a Tacsport X or Pro X for my 2 Zermatt Origins (2 stage). My understanding is the 2 main differences are the pull weight range and the polished internals.

Anyone have both and could you tell a difference in the feel between the two from the Pro X having the better honing?

Also, from this Chart it seems that my Origin may need the low sear which I understand is going to cost even more money on top of the original purchase price.
Anyone run a Tacsport with a Zermatt action without issues?

Thanks

Using PMII 3-20x50 on TRG 22 and SP10 with QDP-4602 – viable plan?

Currently running a Schmidt & Bender PMII 3-20x50 on my Sako TRG 22 (6.5 Creedmoor) using a Spuhr ST-4701 (35 mm height, 7 MIL cant, direct to dovetail).

I recently bought a Seekins SP10 in .308 (18” barrel) and I’d like to run the same scope on both rifles.

I’m considering switching to a Spuhr QDP-4602 (34 mm tubering, 38 mm height, 6 MIL cant) and installing a low-profile 0 MOA Picatinny rail on the TRG.

That would let me swap the PMII between the two rifles using QD, and use marked zero offsets.



My questions:

1. Do you think this is a solid plan or would you recommend running two separate optics instead?

2. Is there any practical downside to the increased scope height on the TRG (from 35 mm to 43 mm centerline)?

3. Any experience with RTZ performance using QDP mounts across bolt and gas guns?

Appreciate any thoughts or feedback!

Firearms WTS/Will Part Out* 300 Sherman Short KPR Custom Rifle Build- Terminus/Manners/Dracos

*WTS- 300 Sherman Short- Kinport Peak Rifle Custom Build* B chamber- Will part out, shoot me offers.

~Manners T2A with Gen 2 mini chasis

~Terminus zeus action with full length threading and mag bolt.

~Trigger Tech Dimond trigger

~26" Dracos barrel- 125 rounds

~Area 419 14" arca rail/barricade kit

~Area 419 338 Sidewinder Mag Brake (I went with the 338 brake because it fit the barrel contour better).

This rifle was build by Kinport Peak Rifles here in Idaho. This gun is an absolute tack driver, the only reason for selling is because I have two 300 Sherman Short builds. The purpose of this build was having a hunting rifle capable of taking elk at long ranges with a very manageable recoil impulse. Both of my girls have successfully harvested elk with this set up.

I would prefer to sell the rifle as a whole, but I am open to parting it out as well.

$3,400 plus shipping to your ffl for everything pictured.

Is my custom 457 Barrel a dud?

I sent my custom 457 barrel to Whidden GunWorks for ammo testing and just got the results back, to say I am not very impressed is an understatement. The ammo being used is Eley Tenex.
The testing distance is set at 50 meters and the group size is in mm, my calculation shows at 50m, this is not even an MOA barrel.
I am a newbie at this, will appreciate if anyone can help me make some sense out of this results.
