Tacticool chassis

Looks like the next best new thing. Contrary to popular belief a 12" target at 480 yards is damn near impossible to hit. What keeps the target from "bobbing and weaving"? I know I could not do it with both eyes closed.
 
Its set up as a "heads up display" that way he can get up to the second readings as he is pulling the trigger. Because at that range, you need to take in account everything. to include tide shift, moon phases, and solar flare activity.
 
Weird. Right hand bolt, left hand eject on the Savage.


And I don't see the piece of field artillery really being that suited to deer hunting.... or the 223 Savage either...

"a lot of folks look for something to fancy" ... i would say he takes the cake with "fancy"

"people have the adjustable objective on the side" ... awesome

everything in this video is awesome.
 
Very interesting. I never realized that 489 yards is "nearly" 1/2 mile! I think he got his Tacticool Precision rifle design from a video game or from some lame movie. I wonder what he paid to build that "unique rifle"? Anyone ready to place some orders? Anyone?????
 
OK, the story behind the story. Bruce Naude, when he was younger and lighter, used to shoot in a LOT of long range tactical matches out west back in the 1990's. The rules apparently were that you could shoot a rifle configured in any way but couldn't carry extra equipment ( rangefinders, wind gauges, etc. ) to engage the targets. So Bruce, thinking outside the box, designed his own stock with a carry handle, ammo carrier, wind gauge, etc., etc., etc. to have everything he'd need on 1 platform. Think IPSC gamesmanship type of thing. Doesn't do much for me, but this type of forward thinking sometimes leads to innovative new ideas on how to make a better mouse trap.

Bruce also developed a set of small stickers with yardages on them that you could put on target scope turrets so that once your ballistic data was calculated and the drop plotted over your longest distance, you could just click to the correct yardage and hold dead on ( pre Kenton Industries or Leupold Custom Shop ). Called Turret Tags. Alas, no longer made. But, neat idea, huh?

The guy in the green jacket, as a previous poster mentioned, works for the television section of the KY Dept. of Fish & Wildlife as a TV host. Arm was severely mangled ( to put it nicely ) in a motorcycle accident. But, he has learned to shoot a bow with his good arm and mouth.

Both are good guys.
