Is that with or without suppressor and bipod?Thanks. 9lb 7oz with no ammo. Don’t remember the contour but I would say it’s a little smaller than a medium Palma. Handles great.

yes ....reddit....always entertaining with the ways of the waifu on space guns usually pictured in mommies basement with at least 2 toes in the photo lolSeen that one on reddit. Looks awesome
Honestly don't remember that. If I remember I will weigh again tonight with a titanium suppressor and bipod.Is that with or without suppressor and bipod?
You can pin/weld a Keymo brake or flash hider on a 14.5" with the JTAC and get it in the tennis bag...Probably one of the more unique builds I've done. This was originally a 22" 308 that sat in a McMillan A5 and then a KRG Bravo. I realized that I rarely do distance shooting, so it might make more sense to size down. Was hoping to get it to fit in a tennis bag, but it's just slightly too long.

been debating a JTAC and MDT HNT26 for a while now for a similar build. Hows the weight and ergonomics on the JTAC?Probably one of the more unique builds I've done.

it sounds like you'll be living my dream , thermals really are a game changer for night huntingJust bought property in MS, and night hunting is on the menu. I have friends who hunt coyotes on the open farmland here in SE Washington with thermals and they say they are game changers.
I googled that thermal and get $5500 ish pricing?
Which bullets you shooting in this little guy? Speeds?
i'll defiantly pick some up and see how they shootThis speaks to me.
Try some 155 hybrids and H332 if you reload. Does not disappoint.

i've been working on subsonic loads mostly , the barrel seems to like 200gr lapua bullets
i have some 110's , 125's and 150's to work up when i get to supers , and now some berger's
12" .277 sounds awesome

75s will do well I ran them in my last 18" 22cm for a bit. Killed deer and Antelope out to 600y, was running MV around 3180.75gr Hornady ELD-M is averaging 3100 with some speed up to go. 80’s have been around 3020. Pretty pleased with it.
Gonna try factory Hornady 140's first since I don't have my press set up yet.Shoot that barrel yet?
It's a little under 3 lbs for the chassis. As far as ergonomics go, it's actually more comfortable than it looks. I think I might need higher rings though.been debating a JTAC and MDT HNT26 for a while now for a similar build. Hows the weight and ergonomics on the JTAC?
That thing is pretty wild.16" 6.5CM is together.
Origin Action
Preferred Barrels 6.5CM cut to 16" and profiled to clearance under the EFR
McMillan A1-3
Weighs 13lbs unloaded without the bipod/suppressor and about 15lbs loaded as pictured.
That thing is pretty wild.
Sometimes these short barrels in 6.5cm can be finicky with Sd's and certain powder. I think if you aren't using a fast enough powder, there is too much unburned and it gets a little weird. H4350 can be borderline it seems, and maybe dependent on bullet and barrel.I still need to do load development. I ran some oldloads I had for my ATX through it and stacked 10rnds into just over a dime at 100yds before the barrel was turned down.
41.8gr H4350, Hornady Brass, Fed Primers, and 140 ELD-M gave me an average velocity of 2620fps and an SD of 15.
Not the tightest SD so I may tweak it but also fine for sub 800yds.
That's interesting, I hadn't thought of that. Shouldn't make too much of a difference at that distance. Might make a bigger deal when I stretch it out to 1,100.Sometimes these short barrels in 6.5cm can be finicky with Sd's and certain powder.

You may know that the offhand, barricade and tripod positions generally require/benefit from adjustments in cheek rest and butt plate length at the least.@NHPiper
Can you go into it a bit more with the A1-3's comfort in other than prone?
Are you meaning off hand, barricades, or tripods? Or is it just anything other than laying down?
Thanks
Well yeah, I adjust my AR stock based on position.You may know that the offhand, barricade and tripod positions generally require/benefit from adjustments in cheek rest and butt plate length at the least.
Just laying down. The rings are 1.3" so the stock recoil pad ends up sitting low into my body. Less of an issue with an A5 because of the comb and not an issue with a chassis where you can slide the butt pad up so that it's closer to level with the cheek piece.@NHPiper

I just finished carving it this week, final coat of oil finish is fully cured yet.What stock is that? Looks awesome!
I ran a "conventional" style stock like the A1-3 for several years shooting from all the positional stuff. I never had any issues with it but if you are more familiar with a vertical chassis style grip it may take some getting used to. I was the opposite and it took me some time to get used to a very vertical grip coming from a something like that A1-3.Well yeah, I adjust my AR stock based on position.
The A1-3's rear ergonomics are obviously different than chassis systems and vertical grip styles. That is what makes me curious about the "non-prone" ergonomics.
Awesome setup. I did a Christensen 16.5" 6.5 setup very similarly and kinda miss it. LolView attachment 8491304

Picked up an AX chassis in the PX recently. I didn’t originally intend to use it for this, but I think it’s gonna stay this way.
I had this barreled action in an MDT ESS, and wasn’t completely happy with it. Mainly because the forend blocked the “Surgeon Rifles” logo on the action… The AX doesn’t require shaving a notch for the massive bolt release on the 591, like the ESS did.
I like that.View attachment 8492821View attachment 8492822

It’s just like my 737 but lighter LOL…in all seriousness, I have two of them and love them!How do you like that NBK action? Its next on my list.
What caliber is that? Looks great! How do you like that chassis? folder robust and lock up tight?Here's mine. Seekins Havak Hit with an 18" MTU. Swapped the vertical grip out for an Ergo Deluxe, trimmed the cheek rest so I can remove the bolt without folding it, Area419 bolt knob with extension, Crosstac MK109 brake. I'm currently working on designing a full-length fore-end enclosure to 3D print for it. I had some problems getting the barrel done by Straight Jacket initially, had it fixed locally and it's a fuckin' hammer. Best group was 0.24" 10 shot group with factory ammo. Once I can accept funding the ATF I'll get a can for it.
