    Kelbly's Black Bear Tactical

    Thanks, I ordered it from Tom Manners. It is a awesome stock. I cut and chambered barrel and made my own pillars to bed on. That big flat bottom is like a dream to bed, absolutely 0 stress in bedding.

    Gunsmithing Mauser VZ 24 scope mount

    I just rebarreled one that had a Leupold one piece scope base on it, not sure how old that was though.

    Good info, just used it last week on a 1940’s Turkish Mauser.

    136 Lapua Scenar L jump.

    I’m shooting the 123 Scenar, I started at .040” and didn’t see a need to adjust

    Gunsmithing Polishing New Chambers

    Do you find it flows less up neck in length if chamber is not polished like a mirror?

    Gunsmithing Polishing New Chambers

    If anything, I use fine sandpaper very lightly to give it a “crosshatch”. I have never tried to polish a chamber after reaming.

    Who has built a "do it all" rifle?

    Built this one a few weeks ago, it’s my 11.5 lb. “do it all” rifle. 6.5x47 Lapua. Still waiting on Atlas bipod and Arca Rail. She is smoother than the photoshopped curves on a playboy bunny’s ass.

    You are correct sir, it’s an option from Manners.

    Manners compact Arctic Camo

    There are little stackable spacers to adjust it. I like that the head of bolts are not recessed, I can get on rifle with my cheek just touching the front bolt and I’m lined up perfect with scope.

    Yeah, it’s a option when you buy the stock, I’ll try and get a couple more pics today. I think Tom Manners posted something on Facebook about it. I can’t give you link, I’ve never been on Facebook.

    I would suggest you let them do it, there are 2 bolts counter sunk in top of stock that hold cheek piece. It was worth every penny for me.

    No it don’t come with it, Yes it is adjustable I think it was about $150 if I remember right. Thanks

    Manners compact Arctic Camo

    I didn’t weigh just stock, I know whole rifle without scope was 8.75 lbs. if you really need to know just the stock, I could take it apart and weigh it. As far as shooting offhand, I don’t feel there is anything hindering that. The balance of this rife with the proof barrel is right at front of...

    Ask and you shall receive. Lol. I had flush cups put in this side also. The look of this thing in the sunlight is pretty amazing, looks like fish scales under finish. Pictures don’t do it justice

    Loading for the 6BR Ackley

    30.6 Gr H4895 is very good in my F-class gun. 20rd. groups testing at 508yds were 1.25” no wind to 2” groups with about 5 to 8 mph wind. Again, these are 20 round groups. I’m shooting the 103 to 108 weight bullets with a 29” barrel at 2960fps. If your looking for speed, I was able to get 3100...

    Manners compact Arctic Camo

    I believe it’s 10.25” to 13.5” with 9 settings. It is great to fit into short fabric tactical soft case I had already. My wife came out in shop shouldering it and could tell it was too long, simply moved it in 2 clicks, perfect!! In that aspect alone for my wife and 2 kids it’s one of the best...

    Manners compact Arctic Camo

    The Black Bear Tactical is awesome, they are as slick as anything else on market. I will say they are built like a tank, big. I like the flat surfaces, the Pic rail is actually machined into action at 20 MOA. The recoil lug is integral and also has a quick change trigger hanger. Whole bottom of...
